First song ever produced so i hope you enjoy- this is not the genre i am leaning towards but it fits.... i wrote this after a break up a few weeks ago realizing i felt a comfort through pain because its all i thought i knew and was worth but finally i was tired of letting insanity control my life and mind and tired of running from happiness.

Comfort Through Pain

Recorded on 5/9/18 at the Younes and Soraya Nazarian Center for the Performing Arts. Composed and conducted by Theron Kay.

Arrival - Live

What should I do with my life? That's a hard question. This podcast is trying to make it easier to figure out the answer to that question by sharing the stories of people from many different careers. We explore the questions of how they eventually decided to pursue the career that they did, what they would have done differently in college, and any advice that they might have for those who are still trying to figure out what to do.

Brian Zeng is currently an engineer at Stripe. He recently graduated from Columbia, where he grappled a lot with the question of what to do with his life. You can reach him at bzeng@stripe.com.

And a special thanks to Jasmine Stoy for the cover art!
