Thank you all for holding space for me.
When the time comes, I’ll return—not just as I was, but stronger. And I can’t wait to see you then.

With all my heart, and my love to you my community be well and be safe.

And to someone I once loved:
I’m glad you’ve found your footing again. I see you. I hope you’re healing too. I’ve surrounded myself with people who are helping me fill the void you left behind. They’re not you—but they are helping me stand. I hope you're at peace.

The reason I have shelter now is because of you. So thank you. Truly.

I may not be in a “safe place” yet, but I will be.
This is temporary. I’m working every day to change the story.

I’m spending most of my energy recovering alongside them, rebuilding what was broken.

Streaming isn’t over. It’s just… paused. On the horizon.
I haven’t forgotten you. This community kept me from falling further when I had nowhere else to go.

It’s heavy. It’s real. And I’m not okay… but I am enduring.

Despite everything, I’ve also met some profoundly important people along this path—people who’ve helped me heal, who remind me that I’m not alone, and who’ve become my lifeline.

I’m currently living in a toxic and at times violent household under the roof of an abusive parent, my father, while trying to hold things together for my husband, my dogs, my sisters, and my mother. There is some end of life preparations in the work also here regarding my elder parents.

You’ve been part of that journey. Thank you. Truly.

We’re not out of the woods yet, but for the first time in a while… I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel.
And I’m ready to keep moving forward.

Just wanted to share something personal —
This song reflects so many of the struggles I’ve faced from August 2024 to now. It captures a full year’s worth of hardship, pain, growth… but also the strength I found in having friends like you by my side.
