You don’t hear my bad songs. When I release an album, you’re hearing a collection of my strongest songs. My very best. As I write for the new @meganddiamusic album, I’m again humbled by the writing process. We’ll spend a day working on a song, only to realize as the sun goes down that… well, it’s not good. 😂 That’s just a part of creating. So whatever you’re striving for, or dreaming about, don’t get too discouraged when you look to other artists for inspiration. Sometimes when I watch a masterpiece like “Parasite,” or “The worst person in the world,” or read a book that I love, I often remind myself that I’m enjoying their very best work, too. I’m sure even the greats have had their bad days. Their batch of bad songs. A rough, first draft of a screenplay they’d never want to share. The first edit of a movie. For every good song I write, there’s a grave of 100 terrible songs that I’ll keep to myself, thank you very much. Keep creating. Keep dreaming. Get inspired by peoples’ “bests,” but know that isn’t the entire picture. ❤️❤️❤️

Listening to: Frightened Rabbit (The midnight organ fight)
Reading: “Beautiful world, where are you” by Sally Rooney
Watching: 3 Mics (Neal Brennan) (Maybe for the 3rd time 😅)

It’s taken me a long time to be happy. To find happiness. The interesting thing is… nothing in my exterior world necessarily changed. To quote the lovely Rainer Maria Rilke — “There is only one way. Go within.” And don’t get me wrong… there are daily struggles and feelings that come up, and hard times. But at least I know where the medicine is now.

Japan Photo Dump: Part III: The Reckoning❤️🇯🇵❤️
Hakone was perhaps my favorite stop on this trip. A gorgeous little mountain town, popular for their onsen. (Japanese hot springs). Random fact: If you have tattoos, many spots will not let you use the public hot springs, where yes, you are fully nude. Some do, but most don’t. However, if you have tattoos, some locations have private baths that you can reserve.
Kyoto, you inspire me. I dreamt up many meet cutes for future screenplays that dance in my head. I come home, eager to write.
Nara, I am so glad that I didn’t skip you. What a magical town you are. I fed deer, visited holy places, and people watched.
Japan feels safe. A place where everyone looks after each other. A small community of millions. I am so grateful you allowed me to come to your country and take in the smells, the sights, the generous people, the food, and the art. Thank you. 🇯🇵❤️

The things that I care the most about make me both so incredibly sad and deliriously happy. They make me feel completely lost, but also, completely understood. It is this weird push and pull that always keeps me unsatisfied. And this feeling of being constantly unfulfilled keeps me curious and hungry. What a peculiar journey it is… to love something so much. 🖤❤️🩹

Writing for the new “Meg & Dia” full length album has officially begun. Nothing brings me more joy than working on M&D music. As a day job, I write for other artists, commercials, and film. And – don’t get me wrong – I love it, and I’m grateful for the work and a way to keep the lights on. But when I write for M&D, I truly get the opportunity to write my truth. And beyond that, I have team mates around me that push me to dig in deeper… into the uncomfortable, hidden, darkest parts of myself. I’ve experienced a lot since our last album release. Another heartbreak (or 5), another failure (or 50). Nights of self doubt, grief, and that creeping feeling of just… being completely lost. But I’ve also experienced so many beautiful sunsets, drunken weird nights with friends, solitary trips into the woods, conversations with strangers, starry nights on the beach, road trips, romance, and so many more tiny moments that have meant the world to me.
I want to pack all of that into our next album. Just like taking a photograph. CLICK. You can capture everything in a moment. Well, the last few years I have wanted to capture for a very long while. And now I’m finally getting that chance. I don’t know what it will sound like, but if it sounds anything like the last few years Meg and I have experienced, collectively and separately, it’s going to be a fucking wild ride. xxx
I’m a first time aunt. And I’m in love.
Welcome Candland Mackenzie Monsen ❤️❤️❤️

Reading “Big Magic” again for the gazillionth time.
Key takeaways I’ve been reminded of so far:
Creativity takes courage.
Fear never completely goes away. Embrace it and invite it on your next adventure/road trip but never allow it to be the driver.
Keep going.
Sometimes the end result can just be joy. Or a lesson in some form. On to the next.
❤️❤️❤️
Write your novel. Paint your picture. Record your song. Book that ticket. Try that class.

My friend asked me about my time with my sisters, and what were the most important/special moments to me. Some reason, I couldn’t help but tell him that… we throw a ball up in the air. And we can’t let it touch the ground. Like, it’s life or death. It’s chaotic and ridiculous and childish but we can do it for hours and I always cry laughing. “Who can I do that with in LA?!” I asked him. If I threw a ball at someone and started racing around my apartment screaming at the top of my lungs, “Don’t let it touch the ground,” I’d get some…
Interesting reactions. 😂 It’s nice to act ridiculous for a few days, and then go back into the real world where I have to pretend to be an adult. Sister time vs. the Los Angeles hustle 🥸🥰
