“Stuck in a cycle of feeling overwhelmed by life's journey. Sometimes, I don't even know what I'm thinking about often, but my mind finds a way to convince me that I need to overthink some things. I believe there's more to life than the things we stress about. Recently, I've started hiking and trying to take in nature and everything around me. It's definitely helped me show more gratitude in general.” Monjola also adds, “My music is a space for people who feel different to process their anxieties. It took me a long time to find myself and my tribe, so I want to spread love, especially to the outsiders who might be feeling the same”.
