The Story Behind the Song: Crying All Alone
In this episode of Real Honest, I’m revisiting a song I wrote when I was 16 and reflecting on the story behind it and how I’ve grown in all the years since.
You are the best thing that’s ever been mine
It’s so easy to fixate on what’s missing—but what if what you already have is beautiful, meaningful, and enough? In this episode of Real Honest, I’m reflecting on the power of presence and the gift of gratitude when we stop obsessing over what’s next.
There’ll be happiness after you
Most of us have something—or someone—we think we need in order to be okay. But what if happiness isn’t waiting on life to go your way? In this episode of Real Honest, I’m reflecting on why true peace doesn’t come from getting what you want, but from learning how to let go.
Are you ready for it?
We all have that thing we’re hoping, dreaming, or praying for. But if it showed up tomorrow, would we be ready? In this episode of Real Honest, I’m reflecting on the gap between desire and preparation, and why growth in the in-between matters more than we think.
You kept me like a secret, but I kept you like an oath
If you’ve ever tried to go deep with someone who just wasn’t ready—or realized you were showing up with oath-level energy for someone keeping you like a secret—this one’s for you.
I’m doing better than I ever was
A reflection on personal growth and the unexpected ways we evolve.
