我的日常生活
作者: 赖丽霞My daily life
1 I have a coffee machine in my room that wakes me up with a fresh cup at 8:30. Then I go to the gym in my house for a two⁃hour workout. Once Ive showered and eaten breakfast, Ill do interviews or film videos for a few hours.
2 I used to live life tired. I was always on the road. Last year I only spent 60 days at home and caught at least 200 flights. I thought waking up in my own bed every day was the highlight of my life.
3 I didnt predict Id get so into videos, but now I have 34 million followers. I film challenges and dances. It has 130 million views, which is crazy. Ive a lot of kids that are followers, so my content is normally light and fun, but I want people to be aware of whats going on in the world. Im hopeful for the future, but its one day at a time.
4 I spend most of the day brainstorming ideas or thinking about music. I wrote my latest song, Take You Dancing. Its about dancing at home rather than in the club.
5 I decided when I was four that I wanted to be a singer and realized that as a young man, you have to work harder than anyone else. For the longest time I would look at successful people and try to become like them. But its exhausting and its not authentic.
6 I can spend all night in my studio, which is in the basement, coming up with beats and songs. Songs are a universal language. No matter where youre from, you can feel something. I love making music.
