Yesterday I told the Big 4 partner this isn’t for me. I have NO back up plan. Scary. But I’m 23 … and in SF. We ball. Time to build. Going to take a chance on myself and give myself 6 months.

the moment i saw my first dj on first thursdays in sf i knew i wanted to be a dj. i had just moved to sf for my big girl job. but i didn't know anyone. so i dropped a grand on a dj accelerator course and had a professional teach me @musiccitysf. anyways totally worth it at the time because i had money and limited time and just wanted someone to teach me. if u want to do something make it happen!

anyways if u want to learn how to dj hmu i teach for free bc i love music

getting rich is a humiliation ritual

[dj scilla @djscilla]

i lied. i like not gaf. i like doing whatever tf i want. i like being selfish. i like being better.

[dj scilla @djscilla]

i realized something lately. all my dj friends who have j*bs and dj outside of j*b have j*bs that use SLACK. not microsoft teams. that's why i couldn't get myself to dj for a bit. @Microsoft you are the problem.

one time i stayed up late because i was brainrotting on tiktok. thank goodness i was still up because india pinged me. so since i was brainrotting up late i was able to hop on a teams call. then i finished brainrotting and went to bed so i could wake up and go to work in the morning.

i worked so hard to be able to get myself to this room. just to be miserable... and be a victim of microsoft teams...

[dj scilla @djscilla]

im not worried about retiring. my roth ira hates me this year. i cannot max that bich out unfortunately. but its ok. im gonna marry rich. thats the gameplan. im literally a girl....

[dj scilla @djscilla]

actually im going to keep talking. this is MY page. i used to have microsoft teams on my phone. my phone wasn't even a safe space. i would literally get pings at f*cking 11pm. now when i get notifications at 11 pm i know its fine shyt and not mf teams.

[dj scilla @djscilla]

im literally just a survivor of microsoft teams

[dj scilla @djscilla]

why would i want to make 6 figures while getting hazed just so i can buy myself $1,000 heels when i can just live paycheck to paycheck and be happy? money isnt real !!

[dj scilla @djscilla]

i think free will is insane.!!!

[dj scilla @djscilla]

sorry im annoying i know but the fact that i woke up at 5 pm on a monday is insane work. i used to not be able to leave the office regardless of how i early i came until 6 pm earliest. then i would still have more work so i wouldn't get home until much later. and then i had to take the bus home and then i get home and am like ok let me brainrot cuz i want some time to myself. now i can just do whatever tf i want.

[dj scilla @djscilla]

i remember when i had to beg my senior to teach my how to x look up on excel bc i couldnt figure it out with the cell type and he was like what are you stupid. today i woke up at 5 pm because i didn't sleep this weekend. life is good.

had a convo with a ny startup bro i met at an afters. white boy was coked out. but we had an interesting argument. he said that it was inherently selfish for me to dj when i could be creating 'shareholder value' 'impact' for the world. he works in ai and is really passionate about how it changes the world. yes im not creating that type of impact (ex. doctor) but i believe in making an impact with music. what would the world be without the arts? the takeaway is that we had different experiences working. his team used slack. mine used teams. SLACK vs TEAMS explains our difference in persectives. we laughed and agreed to disagree. interesting convo tho.

people ask me how i afford to live. i actually just raw dog life. ebt gives me $300 per month for groceries. writing kids college essays gives me income. im not going to be able to invest in my portfolio for the next two years but its all g. this is a risk im taking but i believe this dj thing will work out. it just has too. if i put in consistency it has too. but yeah it is possible to quit corporate and be ok without savings lol. but not for everyone.
