Love in Retrograde

For anyone who's ever woken up next to someone they've known for years and thought "who are you today?"—and stayed anyway.

This one's about the love that survives not because you're consistent, but because you keep choosing each other through the changes. When your partner says "you're not who I fell for," and you realize—yeah, and neither are you, and that's not failure, that's growth.

We're not fixed stars. We're planets. Multiple versions of ourselves orbiting at different speeds—your emotional self racing ahead while your thinking catches up, feeling like contradiction when it's really just integration. And sometimes your future self overtakes your past self, and it looks like you're moving backward when you're actually just moving fast.

This is for the couples in their late twenties and early thirties navigating that strange territory where you're both becoming people you haven't met yet, and you have to decide: do we call this broken, or do we call this beautiful?

Astronomical concept inspired by retrograde motion—that phenomenon where planets appear to move backward because they're actually overtaking each other at different orbital speeds. Turns out, it's a perfect metaphor for how we grow, how we change, and how we love through all of it.

Spare acoustic, honest piano, warm bass. Late-night confession energy. For kitchen tables and 2am conversations and choosing complexity over simplicity.
If this resonates, you're not alone in your retrograde.

🌙 Multiple moons, one gravitational pull.
