I’ve realized through the years that I just find happiness in other things, whether it’s my dogs or my friends or, like, looking at the sunset.

It’s not that hard to be good, you can be good off raw talent. But I feel like it’s that extra step, doing work and putting a body of work in and doing things when nobody else is watching. When nobody else is telling you to do it, you’re pushing yourself to do it.
Making words rhyme for a living is one of the great joys of my life… That’s a superpower I’ve been very conscious of developing.
