i'm super excited and happy to release this single that's also part of my upcoming DEBUT EP titled 'Time of Day'!!!

this song was actually super cathartic to write since I've dealt with a lot of isolation and anxiety during this period of my life while making this song. over the past year, I dealt with various mental health episodes that led to multiple falling-outs with people I've met online within the music space. and whenever i look back at my past episodes, i kept asking myself: have i learned anything from my mistakes? why do i keep self-sabotaging myself? do any of these people I've befriended actually care about me? am i ever gonna be good enough? all of these questions kept looping in the back of my mind and rather than self-deprecating even further and keeping these thoughts to myself, i decided to write a song about these thoughts that would come back every once in awhile.
 
i hope this song helps all of you relate to some of the struggles i face on the daily, and that you are not the only person that has these thoughts and struggles. healing takes time and u shouldn't have to beat urself up just because you're not at the 'same level' as someone else when really, we're all trying to live life in our own timeline. it sounds cheesy, i know, but trust me, if i were to be lying, i wouldn't be typing all of this lol.

thank you guys so much for all the support and i cannot wait to share this body of work i never would've thought i'd be so proud of. love you all and thanks for listening and for reading this. <3

lyrics:
talking to myself over nothing
wishing i was as productive as my friends
I would ask them how and where they've been
but i'd get no response and a 'left on read'
were they playing pretend?

everyday just gets so difficult
I just get so cynical
it all just feels to criminal
to blame my friends over what they do
they might just be too occupied
tryna find their own way of life or
maybe it's their way to say,
"you were never worth our time of day"

all of the time I've lost all hope to learn and
feel like all my time is running out
and all of the times I went on my phone to lurk
to see what all of my friends are on about
still wish them nothing but the best
for all the opportunities they share
but when I sing out from my chest,
it feels like nobody seems to care

everyday just gets so difficult
I just get so cynical
it all just feels to criminal
to blame my friends over what they do
they might just be too occupied
tryna find their own way of life or
maybe it's their way to say,
"you were never worth our time of day"

does anybody that know me
really care to ask me how I'm feeling?
do I need to give them anything
to keep them from leaving?

everyday just gets so difficult
I just get so cynical
it all just feels to criminal
to blame my friends over what they do
they might just be too occupied
tryna find their own way of life or
maybe it's their way to say,
"you were never worth our time of day"
time of day
time of day
time of day
time of day
