“BEAR” is for the listeners who love a story, one layered with nuance and intention from beginning to end. Written between the ages of 18-21, these songs capture my journey through young adulthood; navigating trauma & grief, maintaining hope, and practicing self-acceptance with a willingness to change. Although these stories were written from a personal lens, I believe the message of the project is highly reflected in the current state of the world and our collective experience as humans. Suffering, Change, Love, Fear, we bear it all.
