Fifth song and EP release

It felt pretty fitting that, on the day of my fifth and final song release, the seasons began to change, and we had our first snowfall of the year. Quite cathartic! I wrote Sorry Nicole while navigating feelings of anger and jealousy, grieving the loss of a future I had once pictured for myself. Stepping into the snow on release day gave me the last bit of closure I needed, and it felt like the perfect time to fully embrace the next chapter of my life.

As much as I’ve loved the process of putting my music out into the world, I do have to acknowledge that it’s also been a bit strange to carry the past with me through it. I wrote these songs years ago and found clarity through the writing process at that time, but for everyone else listening, these experiences feel much more recent. Hearing that someone who has been through a similar journey can find comfort in my words and feel less alone in their hardship makes all the difference. I remind myself that I wrote my songs when I needed that reassurance for myself, and now they belong to everyone else.

Looking back on this process, there are certainly a few things I would have done differently, knowing what I know now. Still, I’m incredibly proud of the work I put into bringing this project to life. How cool it is to have seen this through from the very beginning to the very end, and to have experimented with so many different areas of my creativity!
