Summer fields and stormy skies (Photoshoot) + back creating music again
Above: Summer Stormy skies. Nothing like a good old castle to romanticize your life
Lost and found
Hello my sweet friends, How is your Summer so far?
Thanks to those of you who have reached out to me... I've not gone anywhere... but I took a step out from all socials to tend to my health. And that's precisely something I love it here, probably all the conventional socials have made me invisible as creators are enslaved to algorithms these days... either you post every day or they make you disappear but a rest was needed, and a rest was taken. And I'm glad to know that doesn't happen here on Hive. I'm still not out of the woods and as I've hinted in previous posts, though not ready to share many more details, it's been a journey of acceptance and trying to adjust to a new pace of life (for now). So here some recent pictures, thoughts and also happy to say I'm back recording music again :) and very inspired. I wish I were faster, it's somehow "frustrating" but if only, I am learning to be more indulgent with myself and just hope you're happy to find my posts after the breaks. If you don't mind I want to be more candid with my hive posts from now on and maybe not having to wait between song releases. So intending to share more instead of focusing only on releasing the videos and music but more about how they get them being made.
All pictures in this post are mine and from June, 2023, right before the fields turned golden. Castles, summer storms, flowers and fields.
There'll be many days without blue skies but...
We have had a great deal of storms and in some of the photos, a storm unleashed and we had to run for the car right after they were taken. It is incredible how weather can change so swiftly from the scorching Summer heat to a hailing storm. Oddly enough I love storms... they're recurrent in my dreams... I even wrote a song about them once. It's here if you want to listen to it. It's basically about "daring to face the storms" and reminding ourselves that pouring rain is needed.

And every spirit is unrest but when the tempest wakes I'll be spreading my seeds as I travel with the winds
Still as I feel I have not been in the mood for dressing up or filming videos, it was really nice to dress up, and with the bold intensity of red, feel a bit of the spark of my feeling "myself" again :). There is always a fiery intensity to this colour so I like to wear it when I want to feel emboldened.
I have filmed several videos in this place all through different seasons, so even though I don't know when I will complete this one, all these photos are also sneak peek of a forthcoming music video (I will film later on in Winter, when the place gets bleak and misty). I want to show the contrast, lively and muted. Pretty much this contrast represents two halves of myself.
Embracing the duality of myself has been my life journey but as I have written for one of my forthcoming songs
There's no need to tear apart. Dreams are silver... neither black nor white
And as I always say... ghosts come in every shade (I'll make a separate post about that ;-)). I like to veil myself as a ghost in different settings and colours.

My music studio is working again so back to creating music
Also happy to say my music studio is working again. My interface broke and I was forced to upgrade gear and software, so that stalled things a little but already back recording and singing which is my comfort and grounding. The pause I've been forced to take has only reminded me how much I love creating and sharing. Sometimes changes are stressful but turn out to be a good thing and unleash new inspiration. I have to say my inspiration has never faltered... I'm just going "slowly" but as I always say, doing your best has to be enough.
And here maybe not a very flattering picture of myself but a "real me" make up free, sweating in the hot home studio but doing what I love the most... composing. And grateful for it.
So stay tuned for new music! :) and won't be long, uploading a new vide (after quite some while) this forthcoming week.
So talking about the two halves of myself, this is me most of days... maybe not so fancy, or romantic... but with renewed motivation to create music.
I feel I've been spinning on a spiral for a little while... but even in the turmoil and the spinning there's something I can rely on and hold on to. And as uncertain as everything can be, in the ever changing flow of life, having that "constant" can be like the North Star in the sky.
So I get lost...
but I always have a star to guide me

Hi Priscilla, it's so good to hear from you again! I'm so sorry to hear that you've been going through a tough time lately, but I'm glad that you're feeling better and that you're back to creating music. I'm really looking forward to hearing your new music!
I love the photos you shared. The castle is beautiful, and I love the way the red dress pops against the green grass. The storm photos are also really cool. I can see why you love storms so much. They're so powerful and dramatic.
I also love your thoughts about duality. I think it's so important to embrace all sides of ourselves, even the ones that we don't always like. It's what makes us who we are.
We are all lights and shadows.
Yes pictures are two different consecutive days and one unleashed a storm, I had to run and left my jacket im the ruins never to be found again lol 🤣
But I like it up there you will see it often though place shifts a lot with the seasons.
And thank you, I am still struggling to find the "energy" to do things but not the motivation.
Creating is comforting though I go slower as I wished. Ty 🌱🫂🧙♀️🌳
I am so happy to see you back 🥰
And your pictures always blows my mind as the enviroment always are breathtaking, and you always do magical poses or wear clothes that makes me feel like I entered a Fairy tale 😊 and your music is beautiful and soothing... Love it.
Beautiful pictures you share here but my favorite is actually the one with REAL you, by the piano.
You are so beautiful inside out ❤️
I been away a little to for different reasons so I know about needing the rest.
I don't know what you go through but I hope you know we always here for you, and you never alone.
Only we know our bodies best and you do you ❤️ in your own pace.
And I hope you recover soon and that you never feel like you fail People if you don’t keep up what you used to do. So easy to feel that way.
Im sending much love and Hugs your way 🤗❤️💋🤗 and Thank you for being such a inspiration and share your music and pictures with us.
Stay you 🌹
Aw thanks so much for the kind words... I try, stay me, but I'm also open for change... to a certain extent I think it's time to try to "improve" certain aspects of myself. And body only warns, we must pay attention.
Thanks so much for the heartfelt compliment. And also for your compliment to the "normal me in my pijamas sweating in the home studio" because you know, we gotta learn to love ourselves, and that's who I am most of the time. Sometimes I forget, believe me.
The concept of the photography, the images, and the outfit, are so special and soothing.
Social media can be toxic, and frustrating and it's better to take a break from all profiles to relax and reflect on yourself. I do that often and trust me I feel good. I would say on Hive you can write anything and don't wait for something special to write. Share anything you like to share with us. It's a pleasure to read your post, learn about the concept and inspiration of your music and of course photos...
Take care sis...
Body is wise and sometimes we must pay attention to its warnings. it's been a very "uneven" journey, some days are good and some not so, but for me it's now pretty unpredictable, and it interferes so much with my plans. Everything seems slow and stalled, but I push forward. I have a new video (after several months) almost ready, but I go slowly in general, and yes I think I should start to share more candid things because I take so LONG between songs. Take care you too. Wish us both lots of healing.
Visiting such a beautiful place especially during summers is its own fun as we see that there are many scenic views in the pictures and the weather there is also nice and the clouds are looking very beautiful. I myself am very fond of listening to songs.
Thank you, Weather has been not very scorching as it's being in other places, so it's still pleasant :) I'm bracing for August though because I don't like heat too much. I love creating song, it's my passion, you can find my music here https://youtube.com/yidneth
Most welcome dear. I don't like summer myself and have subscribed to your channel.
I love summer baths in the creek and river, but I like Summer only when it's not scorching (like last year). For now enjoying the greenery of the season. And thanks so much for the subscribe to my channel.
Most welcome. Trees are liked by all people because they become more beautiful during this season.
