Spotify Wrapped is here!!

I'm posting late because - would you believe it? I was embarrassed. The eagle-eyed among you might notice that these numbers, though admittedly impressive, are smaller than my numbers from last year. But numbers don't tell the whole story.

It's no big secret that it's been a difficult year in video games and that's effected every part of the industry, including the work of freelancers like myself. That could be part of the story, but it isn't the important part.

I've spent the last 2 years reshaping my career on the backend. I've let go of things that weren't serving me, built new systems to support a stronger career, and reshaped my approach to my entire life, in a sense. It's some of the most powerful work a person can endeavor to do and it's _very_ internal. It's not the kind of thing that sounds sexy and fun when you talk about it. It's not the kind of thing that shows up in the numbers. But it's extremely impactful.

So as we watch our numbers, let's not forget the things that really matter. Remember that you're always moving forward, even if the numbers take a lil step backward for a while.

stay frosty,
