Happy New Year 2026!
We made it to another year. Looking back at 2025, it feels like so much has changed and shifted, but I am glad to be standing here on the first day of 2026 with a clearer view of where I am headed.
New Year's isn't always about radical changes or big resolutions. For me, it is more about the persistence to keep going and the willingness to turn the next page even when the previous chapters were super heavy. I hope this year gives you the space to breathe and the courage to be exactly who you are without any of the masks.
More than anything, I want to say thank you for being here. I am so grateful for the way you have supported Mending Stars and for the messages you send about how the music hits home for you. You are the reason I keep sharing these stories, and I don't take your support for granted. There is a lot of new music coming your way very soon, and I can't wait to share this next chapter with you.
Happy New Year!
All the best,
-Darren
