about
hello! yes, i am still alive!
it's been two years since i last made music in my lonely dorm room and shared it with the internet. i've since gotten a little less lonely, studied abroad, graduated, and landed a job. in 3 hours, i will be boarding a plane that will take me from california to new york, to which i am moving for work.
so much has happened since i first picked up the guitar and decided to record (and mix very poorly) the peculiar and somewhat harmonious sounds i could make! it's been two years, and whether or not that qualifies as a long time to you, i introspectively believe i am an incredibly different person now than i was then.
relative to my own experiences, the ups and downs of the past two years were tumultuous yet so, so informative. as naive and impressionable as i am, i often times had difficulty orienting myself. i lost touch with many things while i attempted to navigate life, academia, frienships, a relationship, etc., and regrettably music was one of them.
i am incredibly grateful for all the success and goodness that has come my way, but i admit the fluctuating patterns of everything have me feeling distressed and confused. this song was written soon after i parted ways with someone i really care about. it's hard to locate constants within my grasp with all this changing scenery, but i acknowledge and will fight to keep the ones (family, friends, cats, over-analyzing tv shows) i am certain about. i'm determined to make music one of them too.
