What a year.
A year with a few highs, but mostly deep lows. A year of loss. A year where I hit rock bottom. A year where I completely lost myself for a while. I lost people I thought would always be there, but I also met new souls along the way. Some of them arrived quietly, yet meant more than they will ever know.
Musically, there were moments of light. Two releases that were received with much love. Two unforgettable B2B sets with .dj that reminded me why I fell in love with Soulful House. And standing in Outernet London for Louie Vega and Elements of Life was one of those moments I’ll carry with me forever.
Alongside the loss of my uncle, my grandmother and Fransjo, life brought back old connections and also new connections. Beautiful people. One in particular became incredibly important to me, in a way that goes beyond words and time. ♾️
But above all, this was the year I truly faced myself. I’m still in the process of healing, and that journey isn’t finished yet. There is light on the horizon, I can feel it, but it will take time. And that’s okay. I’m grateful for the people around me who continue to show up, who hold space, who remind me that I don’t have to do this alone. You know who you are.
I’m not making promises about the next year. I’m going for peace. The kind that doesn’t have to be fought for. Healing over proving anything. I deserve a year that treats me kindly.
Merry X-Mas Everybody and all the best for 2026. 🎄🥂
