Indivibes: Life Update: New Spaces, New Songs, and Romancing My Life

Hey Asaámbly,

It’s been a whirlwind lately, and I wanted to share a little life update with you all. There’s something about this season that feels like a fresh start — and I’m leaning all the way into it. From decorating my new apartment to wrestling with imposter syndrome, finishing a song that’s been collecting dust, and choosing to romance my life instead of seeing it as a tragedy, I’ve been on a journey of growth. And to make it even more intentional, I’m doing all of this for Lent.

Making My Space My Own

Moving into a new apartment has been both freeing and challenging, especially since it’s been my third move in 4 years (I know, I know I’m restless lol)! I’ve always dreamed of having a space that reflects my personality — cozy, warm, and a little whimsical. With the hopes of my new place being my forever home, I want to take the time of finding each piece of furniture, every poster and plants that relate a safe space for me.

I’m providing grace within myself that decorating isn’t about making everything perfect, it’s about making it yours. And that’s a lesson I’m carrying into other areas of my life too.

Facing Down Imposter Syndrome

Can we talk about imposter syndrome for a second? Because whew. Lately, it’s been showing up uninvited like that one guest who doesn’t know when to leave. Between growing my music career and balancing everything else, I’ve caught myself wondering if I’m doing “enough” or if I even deserve the opportunities coming my way.

But here’s the truth I’m holding onto: I am worthy of every room I step into. Every lyric I write. Every moment I get to share my art.

Imposter syndrome may whisper that I’m not ready, but my growth says otherwise. I’m no longer waiting for “proof” that I belong. I belong because I show up, and that’s something no inner critic can take away.

The Song That Almost Didn’t Happen

Speaking of showing up, I finally finished a song that was sitting in limbo for months (yasssssss). You ever write something, and it just refuses to cooperate? That was this track. Every time I sat down to work on it, self-doubt would creep in. “Is this even good? Is it too simple?”

But something told me to push through. Instead of chasing perfection, I let myself write honestly. I leaned into themes of forgiveness and introspective and that allowed the song to take on a life of its own. And now? I can’t wait for you to hear it, with more to come :)

It’s a reminder that creativity isn’t about having all the answers, it’s about trusting the process, even when it feels messy.

Romancing My Life: A Lent Journey

This season, I’ve also been making a conscious effort to romance my life. It’s so easy to get caught up in what’s not going right with setbacks, frustrations, the moments where imposter syndrome tries to steal the spotlight, etc. But instead of seeing my life as some tragic plotline, I’m reframing it.

For Lent this year, I’m not just giving something up, I’m giving myself back. I’m choosing to romanticize the small moments. Lighting candles while I journal. Playing my favorite podcasts while I make dinner (I love a good true crime or The Read). Savoring the quiet mornings with a cup of tea and the occasional glimpse of sunrise through my window. Even decorating my apartment has become a love letter to myself, reminding me that I deserve to live in a space that feels like joy.

Romancing your life doesn’t mean ignoring the hard stuff, it means recognizing that beauty can still exist alongside it. It’s finding delight in the ordinary. It’s knowing that even when the plot twists hit, you’re still the main character, and your story is far from over.

And honestly? That mindset shift has made all the difference.

What’s Next?

With my apartment slowly coming together, a song completed, and imposter syndrome put on notice, I’m feeling more grounded. My focus now? Sharing more music, connecting with you all, and continuing to grow.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re battling self-doubt or struggling to finish something you’ve started, know that you’re not alone. Give yourself grace. Keep going. The finish line is often closer than it seems.

Until next time,

Indigo Asaá
