The Beginning is a reflection of resilience and transformation—a journey from darkness to light. It’s not about the monumental achievements, like walking across America or summiting Everest, but about what came after. The internal battles. The sickness. The depression. The lies I told myself about love.

For six years, fear kept me single and disconnected from real intimacy. I convinced myself love wasn’t for me, and I filled the void with distractions—porn, masturbation, anything to avoid facing what scared me. But getting sick forced me to see the truth: shutting myself off from love wasn’t protecting me, it was making everything worse. I had a choice—stay in depression or confront my fear.

I chose to move forward. To lean into the discomfort of dating and intimacy instead of running from it. And on the other side of that fear, I found joy. The past two years have been the best of my life—filled with love, growth, and clarity.

This album is a soundtrack to that transformation. The Beginning is at its core, an album that celebrates life’s beauty, even in its imperfection—pointing to the rainbows while acknowledging that the sun doesn’t always shine. This marks The Beginning of a new chapter—one built on truth, courage, and gratitude.
