Still
I wrote this song about my life and my experience with addiction in the family system and the growing opioid epidemic. My biological father is an addict, and my mother, brothers and I had to learn to cope with the erratic and ever-changing behaviors it brought about. Though I was originally scared to release it, I received immediate reassurance and found that so many people related to it and found their voice through it. If all I accomplish in my music is giving people a voice by speaking words they are afraid of admitting and giving them something they can relate to, that’s more enough for me. It’s okay not to be okay; it’s okay to be sad, just don’t unpack there. Don’t unpack in a place that leaves you suffering mentally.
