to be real for a sec

i was worried that listening to all of nurture was going to demotivate me.

but then THIS hit me at the end and i am pleased to announce that the opposite effect has occurred

i have been struggling with confidence in my work since i put out my last complete EP in 2016.

so many lines on nurture feel like they were written for me.

i laughed when i heard "you just face your fears and you become your heroes; i don't understand why you're freaking out"

i am continuing to struggle with voice dysphoria, searching for the perfect mix, trying to find a chorus that hasn't been done before, avoiding comparisons and trying to make something unique.

...but this album reminded me that the struggle is not mine alone.

thank you porter
