hello 26 🦋
25 was a special year for me. I spent most of it busy, growing and learning — and I can safely say I’m a better person now than I was when I turned 25. I had the pleasure of playing some of the biggest shows of my dreams, meeting amazing people and sharing moments with friends I’ll cherish forever.
I’ve learnt that ‘Damage Control’ is what gives me my purpose. I feel like the best version of myself when I’m doing what I love. It’s taught me what it feels like to chase a dream and feel fulfilled by even the smallest moments. I look back and feel sad for the version of me who was lost — but even more proud of this one. She backs herself. She loves what she’s creating. She has fun, she works hard and she cares about herself more than she ever has.
Becoming Damage Control has been the greatest teacher. I’ve learnt so much since becoming a DJ. I know it sounds so silly but I understand myself better now, and I believe in what I’m doing (which is huge for someone who struggles with imposter syndrome) and being able to watch something i’m building turn into more than I ever imagined is a feeling i can’t put into words.
My health is a pretty big challenge i’m constantly faced with - It’s the one thing I fear is going to dull my spark. I spent a lot of last year sick and almost all of this year worse and it’s not because I’m doing anything wrong, my body just doesn’t want to work with me. It feels like a never-ending uphill battle but without all of this and without my support systems, I think the sickness would’ve consumed far more of me.
Thank you to everyone who’s always in my corner. I’ll never stop being grateful for those who go out of their way to make me feel special — whether they know what I’m going through or not. I have the best support system around me and that’s the greatest gift of all.
26 is going to be my best year yet. I can feel it. I’m so excited for the growth, the fun, the challenges (even if they scare me), and everything that’s still to come. As my good friend once said, the only guarantee in life is change 🫶🏼
The biggest and best is yet to come from little old DC — just you wait x
