100 miles came out of that quiet feeling of distance — not just physical, but emotional. It explores the fragile space between closeness and absence, and how something once steady can turn bittersweet over time.There’s a deep sense of longing in it, but also reflection. It holds both gratitude for what was and the vulnerability of moving through what’s left behind.It’s a song about memory, distance, and the in-between. I hope it leaves space for you to find your own meaning in it, too.

"what it is to leave" is a compilation of my attempts to understand and navigate the familiar yet confusing feeling I experience whenever I move forward. A lot has happened for me in the four years since the last EP, "Promise," was released. I'm always trying to find the right balance between wanting to be remembered for who I am and the excitement of becoming a different person, all while trying to find good memories to take with me and struggling with wanting to forget the painful ones.It’s like finding beauty in a quiet departure, the indecision between wanting to stay a little longer and trying to leave as early as possible. Leaving comes with consequences—as most of us are already familiar with. They’re sometimes good, sometimes bad, but we live in the constant battle of dealing with the emotions associated with simultaneously being left behind and being the one to leave.I'd like to treat this as a journal for me to look back on and hopefully help me understand what drove me to be where I am now. These songs are like little packets of my life, and even if I contradict myself, this is as honest as I can be.

The end of 2018-2019 was a really rough time when my beliefs and views were greatly challenged. I went back to the safety and familiarity of my bedroom in my childhood home. I did the only thing that I knew I could do to cope—I wrote out how I felt into songs and music. What I discovered was how much of a contrast my current thoughts were compared to what I previously believed in.I’m still learning to find serenity in accepting that there might not always be a silver lining; that there might be no positive side to things. “Promise”, tackles the time when I surrendered to and faced my darkness."Promise" is about trying to forgive and accept ourselves—for all the parts, both good and ugly.
