Liner Notes

Life doesn't seem to get easier year to year. In fact, it's quite the opposite. I thought I'd start by writing a letter to myself. Here's the letter that became the song:

```
Dear Me,

First off, I know how you feel (exactly how you feel). You’ve endured so much, and you’ve been witness to so many trials. Throwing a family into the mix sure hasn’t made it easier. You feel so much pressure to make sure they have a roof over their head, food to eat and to make sure they feel seen and loved. You are self-sacrificing, hard-working, intelligent, empathetic, and caring. You love deeply and are loved.

At this point, you’ve probably come to the conclusion that this is just how life is going to be. It’s just going to be hard. I don’t know if that’s true or not. I hope for you to catch a big break so you can focus on more than just surviving. But I know that you’re prepared to stay hunkered down to weather this storm of a life. Maybe the only thing to do is to adjust your perspective, idk.

Keep breathing. Lean on others. You have room to take refuge from the storm of life. Make sure to sleep enough. Try to eat green things. Keep breathing.

Be ever-patient as you have been. Time will reveal its mysteries to you.

Love,
Yourself

Lyrics

Verse:
Dear me,
I know just how you feel
The pressure’s just too real
Somehow you’ve kept it all together

It’s hard
To do it all alone
When everyone at home
They count on you to be so strong

Pre-chorus:
Yeah I know how it goes
So I want you to know:

Chorus:
Just be brave
Just be kind
Just give yourself some extra time
The rain will fall
The sun will shine
Keep holding on ’til you find that light
Dear me,
You’re gonna be alright.
Love,
Yourself

Verse:
Dear me,
I won’t give guarantees
But life won’t always be
This endless storm of just survival

Just try
To take it day by day
You’re gonna find a way
To break through to the other side

Pre-chorus:
Yeah I know how it goes
And I want you to know:

Chorus:
Just be brave
Just be kind
Just give yourself some extra time
The rain will fall
The sun will shine
Keep holding on ’til you find that light
Dear me,
You’re gonna be alright.
Love,
Yourself

Bridge:
Keep breathing
Keep holding on
It’s one moment
This path is long
Be patient
Take time to grow
It’s been a day
You’re building Rome

Verse:
Dear me,
I hope you’ll get some sleep
And find green things to eat
Take this advice from me

Chorus:
Just be brave
Just be kind
Just give yourself some extra time
The rain will fall
That sun will shine
Keep holding on, yeah, you’ll find that light
Dear me,
You’re gonna be alright.
Love,
Yourself
