Apologies for the song about mortality, but she wanted to be born this week!

It's been a few years since I've sat down with my guitar and played around until the sounds felt like me. This song is deeply personal, and writing it was really cathartic. I've been saying lately that I've stared death in the face the last year and a half. Cancer will make you face your mortality, but it's also gifted me so much. It's made me a lot more bold and reminded me to have the audacity to live my life how I want. Since I'm one of the lucky ones that gets to live, I'm going to do just that.

I've never recorded my own guitar overdubs and had so much fun doing this. I may have to learn how to play leads now!

I am really appreciating this community. WB has motivated me to be consistently creative and it's been so supportive for the current phase of life I'm in. I am loving discovering who I am as an artist. And I'm really grateful for the community support. Everyone is so kind, and your words mean more to me than you'll know. I am a little behind on comment responses but will be spending time with them this week. Appreciate y'all <3

Lyrics:

I am aging in fast forward

I am facing my decay

All my bones are acheing

With every step I take

And I know

It's gonna be this way

Back to the earth

We're gonna go someday

Can't keep up with all the changing

I am sad when I'm awake

Heaviness resides inside my chest

While I pretend that I'm okay
