These are the days...

Y'all, I've been riding a rocky road called life and for a long time it almost felt as if the road was riding ME. It felt as if I didn't have control. As if I couldn't let myself be the person that I know that I'm meant to be. I felt like I couldn't rise without someone else holding my hand. Like I was almost sinking in this sea of worry, anxiety, stress, and impossibility. But things have f*cking changed, man. These past two years, I quit my job. I saved my money. I devoted ONE HUNDRED percent of my efforts into what's more than just my passion -- my calling: Music. I ignored every single one of the naysayers who tried to detract me from my path, and... simply... I've broken through. I'm changed in ways that are difficult to describe. It's evident in even the smallest things in my life -- my desire to go to the gym again, over these past 24 months losing over 50 lbs and gaining a ton of muscle and stamina, my hunger for knowledge and learning has resurfaced, my French Duolingo streak is just about at 45 days and I'm just about to bring out Japanese to gain speaking fluency in THREE languages, I'm devoting time to writing my fiction superhero universe anthology (yeah you heard me) that I will definitely share with y'all one day, I go to bed with my life work on my mind and I wake up at 5AM each day to create and execute business plans that have been swimming in this head of mine for decades - hidden from the public and subconsciously hidden from myself due to stress and procrastination. I don't f*ck with distractions anymore, and I'm direct in my words and actions. There's no more wishy washy-ness about Kyle Royce -- there is WORK TO BE DONE, and it feels legendary. I'm taking this life in my hands and every day I'm proving to myself exactly why I deserve the pinnacle of my hopes and dreams: because I work hard and I care. Because I have novel insight into the world and ART that needs to be shared. Because I was born to rule a mother f*cking stage and ain't nobody gonna tell me otherwise -- especially the people who have done me wrong. I no longer dwell on the past, but I look towards the future and I remain in the NOW, capitalizing on every moment to squeeze the most juice out of this life that I can possibly get -- and baby, I have been THIRSTY. PARCHED!!! It's about time I drench myself in that sugar I've been craving for so long. Some of ya'll know the entire story of my creative life. Most of ya'll don't. And that's OKAY. Just like myself, you, beautiful reader, also have gone through some things that we would hardly wish on our worst enemy. We all have a significant story to share and that's one of the most beautiful things about being human: we'll always have something to talk about. We'll always have a lesson to impart on our neighbors. Somewhere around us, we'll always have a moral to the conflict that may show itself in our darkest times. And with just a bit of perseverence, strength, a bit of hardheadedness, and a whole lot of patience for the people around us and ourSELVES, we make it through. YALL ALREADY KNOW: PEACE, LOVE, PROGRESSION. I feel like I've lived these words over and over and over and over and over and over again. Somehow, someway, God has really done some magic in my life and I'm feeling touched. Those things I said to myself I couldn't do, I need help, how can I do this myself, getting tossed and turned over by people with a smiling face and a snake in their heart -- they'll get theirs and I'll get mine. Karma always comes in time. And mine has finally arrived. I'm here today to usher in some big announcements. #1 This website will be getting an overhaul, with a merch store on the way extremely soon. For the people who have been asking, YES, shirts and backpacks will be back and you'll soon be able to rock the #PLP wherever your lovely lil legs and hearts will take you. #2 We are beginning a new era of Kyle Royce & The World music. These past two years have largely been spent developing my debut album which - if you know me - is deeply detailed and going to deliver some killer performances. Come get your ears right and ready. #3 E-mail marketing will begin so you will be able to get consistent updates on performances, releases, and my life. Sign up directly below and pop your email address in the form because I truly want to connect with you. #4 Last but not absolutely not least, just: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you. If you're reading this, that means you came from my socials and for a long time I didn't understand what I had. Even if it was just one single person who came to this website from my Facebook, Discord, IG, Twitter, Twitch - that one person is so much. I truly had a mechanism in my heart that was stopping me from appreciating the time that you all have spent with me. Its been a long time since the inception of Kyle Royce & The World... This year will mark year 10, on the dot. And not only that but I've been performing on stages since I was 8 years old... that's remarkable, dude. There are people keeping in touch w/ my music that I've known from high school - and not to mention family and friends, like, there is so much love here, it deserves to be recognized. For real for real, we boutta peak and I never would've made it to this point without you. I'll be giving y'all updates real soon. For now, KEEP YOUR HEAD UP. YOU GOT THIS. YOU ARE STRONG. THE B*LLSHIT WON'T LAST FOREVER, AND ONE DAY YOU'LL BE ABLE TO PUT IT IN A SONG. PLP. -K.
