Overview
The creator recounts his post-graduation journey from the last year, where he set two goals: to make a video every week and to start releasing music again. He describes the internal conflict and 'existential crisis' that arose from trying to be both a content creator and a musician, feeling like he was splitting in two. He resolves this conflict by realizing both are essential parts of his identity and announces the release of a new song, 'me tienes homesick,' made with his best friend, as the culmination of this journey.

Transcript
Last year, right after graduating from Yale, I set two goals that completely changed my life. Make a video a week and start releasing music again. This was way harder than I expected. I started making videos about my friends and about my dog's strange tendencies. And at the same time, I was spending hours and hours locked in my room making music. The problem is that slowly but surely, I started feeling like I was splitting in two. There was Vokomo the musician and Wokomo the content better. And I started feeling like I couldn't do both at the same tier. And that is my existential crisis. But you know what? I've come to the realization that videos express a part of me that's literal while music expresses the part that's kind of intangible. So I've decided to ignore my fears and just release a song with one of my best friends called Medina's Homesings. That's my second goal. If you wanna check it out, that would make me very happy.
