Jazz transported me to a calm, serene, timeless state. Each note drifted through my soul, touching the nooks and crannies, reintroducing softness and ease to my being. It became a portal home for me — a space that ushered me into the present moment where nothing and no one matter. Just the here and now.

there is a soul-level desire many carry—the desire to be understood. to be seen clearly. to be known fully. and while there is nothing inherently wrong with that longing, the truth is: it comes at a cost.
