Why did i go MIA after Centipede.

After the release of "Centipede" in September 2024, i was planning on working with other artists in my home state and progressing further. well, let's just say that college administration has a way with mismanaging and messing up schedules.

Due to my nature of undergraduate course, i had to attend a three month long internship, which was unannounced until 3 days before the internship evaluation period starts. the first place where i attended was kinda eh, too much work for an intern. quit it in a month and requested the management to let me do an internship at the end of my course since i had a lot going on during this time. as usual, they declined and made me join another internship which was way better but was far away so i had to take a metro ride ("subway ride" for 'muricans) everyday. and then after that ended, we had classes. i was fine with ones for my main subject, but hated the electives so much because all that geezer did was read off the slides he copy-pasted from a random site and add his own bigotry and bootlicking to companies and politicians. had to endure all that and it drained me lol.

also didn't help that my dysphoria was spiking up real bad during that time. i had to shave off my wolfcut into a buzzcut because i didn't have time to maintain it due to the internship lol. and yeah, that kind of set off a chain reaction. with regular misgendering at workplace and classes because i wasn't out to anyone yet and didn't want to out myself yet, yeah, it was a horrible time period.

so yeah, i took a break from making music. all lot of things happened. some good. some detrimental. major thing being, i got my GD certificate to get gender-affirming healthcare. i am still figuring out how to transition slowly for these few months before i can get out and never come back to these people and this place. i started learning making music again. started learning things that i had to abandon due to college. i might drop another project soon. idk when. but soon. i am not rushing it. i still need to heal.

- love, slo <3
