If I ever own an amusement park I'm going to have a ride called Life. It'll go something like this. The attendee takes the next person in line and straps them in where he pleases, you don't get to choose if you want the front or back or middle because fuck that, this is life. Once the ride has some people (sometimes full and sometimes not it's up to the dude working, not you) the ride starts. It'll have spots that are slow and boring to the point where you want to get off and go try a different ride, and spots that flip and turn and are exciting and so awesome that you want to stay on the ride forever. But then it'll slow down again while you wait for the next spurt of excitement. But the next one won't be good excitement, it'll be scary how fast it goes and you'll feel terrible and hate the ride. Sometimes it'll be awesome and you'll love life, others you have to just close your eyes, be strong, and get through it.
Slow times are slow and excitement will come randomly. Don't get bored and sidetracked about the goals you have in mind for the future. It's hard to be confident in the things you are doing when there aren't immediate results but work hard and it will come.
I was really happy with my last mix for multiple reasons. Solid transitions, good song choices, and great energy flow. I've gotten some criticism on it from a couple people who know what they're talking about and am excited to work on that in the next one. I started mentally piecing together a new one and am slowly putting it together. Aiming for higher energy throughout the whole thing while still hitting that emotional energy connection I wanted in the last one.
