New Release: 'Never Let Go' is out now.
This song came from the stubborn, bone-deep decision that no matter how hard life kept hitting, we were not letting go of each other. Life did not make it easy. It kept coming with weight . . layers of stress, pain, chaos from the outside, chaos from the inside. Every time we thought we had caught our breath, another kick landed. Another problem. Another loss. Another thing that could have broken us apart.
But we kept choosing each other. Not because it was romantic. Not because it was easy. Because the alternative . . giving up . . was worse. Because even when everything else felt like it was falling, we still felt like home to each other. We still felt like the one steady thing in a world that refused to be steady. We still felt like the one place where we did not have to explain or perform or apologize for being human.
The Weight of Holding On
Holding on when life keeps kicking is heavy. It means carrying the weight of two people instead of one. It means swallowing the urge to run when running would be simpler. It means forgiving when forgiveness feels impossible. It means showing up when showing up feels like the last thing you have energy for. The weight is in knowing that love does not protect you from the kicks . . it just gives you someone to take them with. Someone to stand beside you when the ground shakes.
The "Still Here" Perspective
I have learned that love is not about never getting kicked. It is about refusing to let the kicks separate us. I cannot make life stop hitting. I cannot make the weight lighter. I definitely cannot make the storms stop coming. But I can choose to hold on tighter. I can choose to be the one person who does not let go. I can choose to believe that we are stronger together than any single kick is strong enough to break. Because we are. And because nothing is going to stop us from being together.
If you have ever been kicked so hard by life that giving up felt like the only option . . if you have ever looked at someone you love and decided that no matter what came next, you were not letting go . . if you have ever chosen to hold on when everything else said let go... this song is for you.
Give it a listen wherever you stream music.
Happy Valentines Day!
