Hello!
I hope everyone is okay?
Firstly, I am so grateful for you all to be sticking by me while I navigate through a difficult time.
As a 'public figure' (or whatever I am), I feel the pressure to keep my head up and pretend everything is fine, and only show the best things that are happening. I try not to use social media as much these days because of this.
If you look at my Instagram stories, I am just sharing pictures of cats, or sharing how excited I am for the tour. Whilst I am excited to tour—sometimes, I really want to scream and give up. On some days, I do scream and panic and don't know what to do - I just don't show it because I am under pressure to look a certain way online... Then again, I also rely on social media for the growth of Esprit D'Air.
Things have been extremely difficult for me running up to the October tour. Not only have I had flight cancellations to rearrange, but I had also heavily underestimated the costs of check-ins for luggage for our music equipment and accommodation... it has cost me thousands just to tour three dates...:(
The October tour will likely to be a big loss for me, even with all three dates sold out.
I am still excited to visit Poland, Hungary, and Spain and we will be going ahead with it, just to see our fans who have been waiting for us for a long time.
I will be doing a new and shiny merch drop... it's been a while since I have been able to bring out some new merch and art.
As our patrons, we are giving you access to the link before anybody else!
