Why my song is called 'Next Chapter '

Every song I write is about leaving a version of yourself behind, not because it was wrong, but because you outgrew it. This project is for anyone who chose themselves even when it hurt.

1/13 Edited to

... Read moreWriting songs about personal transformation is a deeply reflective and emotional process. I’ve found that many people relate to the idea of shedding previous versions of themselves—not out of regret, but because growth demands evolution. "Next Chapter" is more than a song title; it symbolizes a pivotal moment in life where you consciously decide to embrace change and move forward. From my experience, this journey of self-discovery often involves difficult choices and moments of vulnerability. Choosing oneself can be painful, especially when it means letting go of comfort zones, old habits, or relationships that no longer serve us. Yet, it’s in these moments of discomfort that true growth happens. The song aims to be a companion for those who find strength in acknowledging their past but refuse to be defined by it. Just like turning a page in a book, stepping into the "next chapter" signifies hope, renewal, and the excitement of new possibilities. Listening to or creating music around this theme can be therapeutic—it validates the feelings of change and encourages us to embrace our evolving selves with kindness. In sharing this project, I want to reach anyone who’s struggled with self-doubt or fear of the unknown. Remember, every chapter you leave behind is a vital part of your story, laying the foundation for the person you are becoming. Celebrate your bravery in choosing yourself and turning the page to new beginnings.

A hand holds a book titled 'ONE BIG STOCK MARKET & OPTIONS TRADING GUIDE'. An overlay states, 'YOU CAN BE 100% CORRECT ABOUT YOUR OPTIONS TRADE BUT WITHOUT ENOUGH TIME...IT DOESN'T MATTER.' A 'SWIPE' arrow indicates more content.
An open book page explains 'EXPIRATION DATE: THE CONTRACT'S DEADLINE' and 'TIME DECAY IS A MELTING ICE CUBE', illustrated by a stick figure running from a melting clock. It details how an option's value erodes over time.
An open book page titled 'THE "MENU" OF EXPIRATION DATES' categorizes options into Short-Term (7 days), Monthly (30+ days), and Long-Term (LEAPS, over a year), explaining their characteristics and timeframes.
This may be why your trades fail
Having enough time on that expiration could play a huge part in your winning trades. You could be right about direction but without factoring in the best time span...wouldn't matter. See a high probability setup, ALWAYS consider what timeframe you saw it on! #trade #tradingview #t
