In my storytelling, I always have a positive message at the end. Not only so that the viewer remembers there’s a bright side to everything, but so I do. Which leads us to this self portrait. I went through an especially rough time where, on top of situations out of my control, I was stretching myself too thin. I decided to make a conscious change, I created this album cover commemorating my struggle and my departure from it.
