How to Break Up Guide: add your tips!

Here's the full cycle in writing. If you've been through a break up, or are currently going through a break up and something helped you, add it to the doc! I thought it'd be cool if it was interactive and we all shared different perspectives of what's been helpful. Even if it's years and years later!

rock on.

How to Break up: A guide from a seasoned vet

Every break has a beginning, middle and end. Whether you're in the middle, the end or just the beginning, I wish someone would've given me a fucking guide to figure this shit out.

If you don't listen, you just need to know one fucking thing.....

DO NOT
LOOK
AT THEIR
SOCIAL MEDIA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The spirituality of hair

hair, acne, near death experiences, shitty boyfriends, the self, the body, the feds, middle school, and so much moreee!!!!

I truly think that hair is a religion and your length is a bible of all that you experience. The most beautiful thing about hair, is that no matter what you do, you can't force it to grow any faster than it wants to. But it will always grow. <3

bonus track - enough

bOnUs TrAcK aLeRt!!! Idk yet if I'm gunna release this one or not so......

This song feels like an epilogue. It was the last, and most recent song I wrote for the EP. It felt apart of the whole and yet separate. Some of my favorite lines I've written are in it.

Feels good to be a year and a half out from a big ugly breakup and finally be in a place where all the crying and confusion is over. And I can just see it for what it was, my faults included, and let it go. Now, it's no ...

How It Felt to See My Heart

Yeah, you've been heartbroken but have you ever been HeArT BrOkEn.

a written piece on what a first time echocardiogram experience was like.

I’m a Big Kid now !!!

Well hey all you people !! Thanks for sticking around and showing your support. It’s is truly a miracle and puts wind in my sails. I don’t know if I’ll ever get around to releasing the songs I worked on these past 5 years, but for starters I’ll share them here!!

This is a song I did back in 2021, it’s veryyyyy fitting to how I feel now after leaving LA and moving back in with my parents.

My answer to a lot of things right now is “I don’t know”, whic...

Tough Stuff: Matrix

This is the first time I’ve ever listened to one of my songs, top to bottom, and felt proud.

It me also the first time I ever listened to a song of mine and couldn’t hear. Literally, couldn’t hear. As if I had reached high altitude and my ears couldn’t pop. Later, I realized the song was triggering me and my body was protecting itself by shutting off my ability to hear it. Not a big deal, except I had to provide and clear mixing/mastering notes.

So, it’s also the firs...

What the fuck is going on ?

Hey y’allllllllll?!!!

once again, your Patreon contributions have helped me make my rent by the hair of my chinny chin chin ! 

I took some time away from feeling obligated to post and share for the last couple months. To my surprise, y’all have stuck around. I’m in awe ! And through this hiatus have a new found excitement and view on my relationship to this platform. 

mainly (if we more being real here) , I’ve been going through the gnarliest break up I’v...

Summer Bummer ☀️🤮

It’a out tomorrow! I don’t really know how to feel about it ! I worked all day today scrubbing toilets and mopping floors, so I’m humbled to say the least. 

My wish for this song is that it’s heard. And that there’s no technical difficulties on release day 🙃 

I’m feeling a lot. Something I’ve been contemplating lately is the definition of ’release’ and how fitting it is to the action of putting a song out into the word. Release control, Re...

Release BTS Crazin3ss ! ✨☀️🤮

Summer ☀️ Bummer 🤮 is coming out and SOON ! It’s been a wild ride gearing up to release again. my favorite moments have been shooting the visuals with my brother. 

Both days, I really was n o t feeling like being in front of the camera. But it’s amazing how good it feels to be silly and create something with someone. The literally Chi of moving creative energy is WILD ! 

Only a few short weeks until the first song of the EP is out, and I’m trying to be proce...

Lucky Numbers

A very real song, no one else has heard before about a time I was really pissed off and losing my mind. 

the pressure of poverty can and will make you snap. Will power is a finite resource, and it’s only internalized capitalism that argues that. 

it feels right to share this now, before all the new. It’s so heavy and I wanna let it go.  This is my eulogy to a part of me that needs to die. A story that needs to be out to rest. Because I am ready to feel new again...

Sacrificial Lamb 🐑

This one’s a bit of a dooozy. Talking about EP land, past Trauma with a capital T and how it’s influenced my relationship with music.

It’s a tender spot of an episode for me, I didn’t expect to share what I did !

I was definitely feeling   goofy and safe to share with y’all more of what makes the artist I am !

LoOps aNd CyCleS 🌀🌀🌀

HeELlLLOoooOoOooOO!!!!!!!!

My house is a mess. I have zero routine. No car and no laptop. Rent is due in a couple days. And it’s almost JULY? What in the fuck happened there ? 

Thanks for the patience ✨🌀✨ I’m so grateful for y’all, I really truly cannot explain what it feels like to fall apart and look around and see that I still have people cheering me on. 

Here’s a lil life update, gearing up for…you guessed it…..

THE FIRST RELEAAASSEEEE!...

June Gloom

Happy Pride! Hope you all paid your rent with ease and grace ✨🌀

uhhhh, HI! I have been very much MIA the last couple months and not the paper planes kind.
Everything everywhere all at once kinda hit me since April until now. Life has reared its head and shown its teeth with increasing intensity.
I have legit PTSD and OCD, so I respond by shutting down, allllll the way down to the bare min basics to survive.

I’ve had a heavy personal situation arise that has put the ...

Acoustic Concert: Matrix

Here’s me singing the final song on the EP ! We haven’t started production on this one but I’m so excited to hear what new life it takes on!

Acoustic Concert: Açaí

Here’s me singing and talking about my song açaí! I lub this song :) 

behind the scenes of açaí

A lil BTS of what a session looks and sounds like. This is 2 hours edited into 1 minute of trying to find the right guitar, right guitar tone and right guitar part. AND…! *Drumroll please* We didn’t even end up using any of it, and used a bass instead.

Elliott’s playing through sounds and that’s how it usually starts. Then, I’ll immediately be like “FUCK YEAH! I love it!”. Next he’ll lay it in the track and we’ll look at each other and go “oh /: that’s not it”. 2023-03-01 20:12:00 +0000 UTC View Post

Song 1: summer bummer :”)

Here’s me talking and singing ! 

A lil concert from me to you singing my first song I’ll be releasing this year !

singing commences at *6:00* minutes 

The lyrics:

I wish I didn’t

It’s amazing what leaving seasonal depression and moving into spring time can do for a person ! ! ! ! 

END OF THE WORLD (demo)

Happy Valentine’s Day !!! 

Here's a little love song I wrote for my partner, Elliott <3 <3 <3 <3

He's always asking me to write him a song. I almost never, ever do because he's a musician and we work together. It's nearly impossible to write him a pure love song without either of us getting "technical" and ruining the whole simplicity of it. 

And in true Half Wolf fashion I wrote him this song about everything we've been through...not just the mushy c...

It isn't perfect but it's...

3 years of writing, 1 year of editing, 30 songs resulting in

babies

I started recording last week. I'm gunna be coy and not share a whole lot until the songs are done. Cause motherfuckers be getting into my head and shit. 

I'll talk about how I'm feeling: 

really

proud

(and)

deeply

What an incredible state to savor as an artist!

THE CHRONIC IS CHRONIC-ING

hey 🥺👉👈

Sooooooo, this is a sacred space yeah? 

I've been hyper-aware of not using this space as a place to vent all my negative experiences while also balancing a "keeping it real" attitude, as they say. My goal has been to express the raw, behind the scene happenings of my life and career since they are often intertwined. 

Basically, for the last 2 years I've been dealing with undiagnosed chronic pain and illness. I've felt incredibly self conscious open...

GOOD>BAD demo version 1

This is good>bad how I originally wrote it on a one take voice memo. It's how we say in the biz SUPA RUFF. But I think it's kinda interesting to hear how a song may start out with just me and guitar vs the produced version and allll the different choices that can be made of where to take a song. It's overwhelming to say the least. 

GOOD>BAD demo version 2

This is a demo I made in the thick of the pandemic. 

I listen to a lot of Abraham Hicks and the Law of Manifestation. I really do believe in it, but sometimes I feel it actually makes me more anxious and defeats the entire point. It has a tendency to reduce everything down to sad is BAD and being happy is GOOD. Okaaaayy?? but what if I'm a depressed girly ?? 

I had this anxiety that if I have depression will my life just get worse? Am I fucked? So I made this silly song....

Studio F-U-N ! :')

I got some film back from me in the studio about this time last year with K-dog (Kevin) and Big-E (Elliott) !

I remember it was one of our first sessions working on the demos that would eventually get sent out to the label that ultimately hated them and wrecked my entire world. 

I always see artists I admire on instagram posting aesthetically pleasing film shots of them just casually making a record and looking cool. I remember on this day, I so desperately wanted these photo...

Episode 4: Nervous System Shutdown

 I hope you are thriving and not just surviving this holiday season. This episode is what I sound like on just about every solo road-trip --- just talking shit out.

I have been in a deep review process the last 2 months. I really fucked some shit up in my life (in a good way) and made some serious 'self-improvement' moves that my therapist would be proud of. But it definitely leaves me and my adrenal glands drained af. 

This is a very loosey goosey episode of me processi...

FULL MOON fEeLiNgs !!!

Last full moon of the year, babies. I wanna hear alllll about your takeaways and vibes and feelings and fears and excitements right now. Feel free to comment away or private message me 🐺⚡️🌝

I, myself, ME am feeling really resistant and blocked. Kinda like if I was a river, there's definitely a giant tree damming me up somewhere. ( and not in a sexual way )

I think I need to work on rejection. 

First off, I am so, so, sososo so, deeply grateful for every single...
