how i miss you

Songwriting usually starts when my brain is too crowded to hold everything in. I’ll sit by my window with my guitar, feeling the ocean breeze, and just follow whatever emotion shows up first. I don’t outline or plan - I chase a melody until it feels like it’s telling me what the feeling actually is. When a lyric finally lands, it’s this tiny rush of relief, like a mini-ending, a little piece of closure clicking into place. I’ve realized I write to make sense of things, but I keep doing it because other people hear themselves in the songs. When someone tells me a lyric made them feel less alone, it reminds me why I started in the first place: turning my mess of emotions into something to share.

Creativity is how I untangle what I’m feeling.
