Ok I need to talk about and get sappy about this for a second hear me out-
Seriously you guys I have struggled for SO. LONG.
I've always felt so lost, I've had no ambitions or goals and spent a lot of years with severe depression. Even the friends I had through the years never felt real, I fake taking compliments well but I never truly believe what people say about me (maybe it's all the two-faced kids as I grew up that killed my trust in words, who knows).
It hasn't been until I met my friends in this band that I felt I started healing. I have people now who I live with that I trust and who take care of me and each other. We have a shared goal that makes it so much more amazing that we're all so different, but the freaking same. We all doubt ourselves, and we are so, so hard on ourselves. We want this to work so badly.
All of this to say: I finally have something I want to achieve. I have a goal. I finally have purpose. I'm working with myself to love myself even on days I don't progress, but seeing this... Is progress.

This magazine is for everyone who hoped for me, it's for everyone who doubted me. It's for every one of you!! It's for my mom and dad and brother, it's for ME. I can do this. I am doing this, and I'm doing it with the best people I could've hoped to do it with.
We earned this benchmark with our time and our mission and mantra. We earned it with friendships made and people trusted. We earned it with the hours and hours of rehearsal and recording and dreaming.
And things definitely aren't perfect every day. But this... Helps ❤️
