"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.
