Former Self PT.2

Former Self PT.2 is a three–track continuation of a deeply personal chapter in my life. These songs were recorded in 2023 during a time when I was confronting the relationship I had with myself — a relationship that, at the time, wasn’t healthy.

In my late teens and early twenties, I struggled with people-pleasing, shame, guilt, addiction, and the inability to emotionally regulate. I often found myself trapped in cycles of victimhood and self-sabotage, not yet understanding my own power or responsibility in my healing.

These songs came from that space — raw, unfiltered, and honest.

Three years later, listening back to them feels like opening a time capsule. They remind me of how low I once felt, but also how far I’ve come. I share them not to stay in that place, but to acknowledge it. Because the truth is: I can never go that low and dwell there again.

Former Self PT.2 is not just music — it’s documentation of a former version of me.
