august 2016 came on shuffle. i haven’t heard this song in a few months. to be honest, i forgot i recorded this song. i remember when i released it, it was therapeutic although i was sick of hearing it. i must’ve rapped both my verses damn near 80 times each. i have this thing i do when i record where i have to rap my whole verse in one take. it’s strange, but i think it’ll be better for me in the long run. anyways, the point of this was to say how a year ago felt like a week ago. so many things have happened, and so many things haven’t, which makes me wonder if my august 2016 self would be proud of my august 2017 self.
perhaps it’s better not to come to conclusions.
