wellll surprise!! my new album “it’s hard to be human” is out today 😱😭♥️🎉🙌🏻 this collection of songs chronicles my last three years of life—including moments of immense grief and hopelessness as well as moments of incredible clarity and gratitude. these songs found me as i navigated social anxiety and tended to my mental health, tried to come to terms with a world seemingly on fire, and journeyed through infertility, IVF, and a miscarriage. within all of that, however, there were tremendous amounts of beauty and love, too. ⁣
⁣
these three years have been so chock-full of humanness. they broke me open and filled me up over and over again, taught me incredible lessons (and then taught them to me again every time i inevitably forgot what i had learned), and gave me such an incredibly deep love and compassion for all humans going through their stuff. my “stuff” may have looked a certain way these past years, but as humans, the raw experiences we go through—love, loss, joy, despair, existential overwhelm, etc, really bind and bond us in our humanness. this record is a meditation on lost dreams, hope, surrender, and the ultimate realization that we have everything we need.⁣
⁣
these last 9 months especially have been so rich with life—double pregnant with a miracle human baby and a labor-of-love album baby, and it’s been so meaningful to build them in tandem and have them both entering the world around the same time. after everything we’ve been through, it’s impossible to describe how special it feels that this album cover features TWO humans on their own journeys. our daughter could be arriving any day now (which is just completely surreal and mind-blowing and nuts!), so i’m particularly thrilled i get to share THIS baby with you now before life gets a little crazy for a while. i can’t believe i am here after all these years. thank you all for your love and support and encouragement, and until i’m back with more music, i hope you and this little family of songs can spend some quality time together :) “it’s hard to be human” is out now in all the places ♥️

i didn't intend to lose it the way i did in this video, but it's hard for me to say these words and not feel the weight of the past 4 years struggling with infertility, or the sickening uncertainty that creeps in when i let my mind wander toward the future. i know that whatever my path will be, i will survive, i will be okay, and i will find beauty in it, but there's no escaping that to be faced with the dying of a dream can break you wide open.

i like to think of songs as little gifts from the universe--yes, they tell a story, but they are also meant to mean a thousand different things to a thousand different people. my hope is that this song can bring a little healing to anyone dealing with yearning or loss, whatever the circumstances. please feel free to bend these words to mean what you need them to mean and help you feel what you need to feel. she belongs to you now!

you can download/stream the song in all the places here! ffm.to/inwamtiwy

our new song “when the smoke clears” attempts to encapsulate some of the pain as well as some of the lessons Imaginary Future and i have experienced these past years going through infertility. the constant grappling with time (and the perceived loss of it), the feelings of helplessness and the grasping at trying to control outcomes in a picture that is so much bigger than us, the struggle to keep trusting and finding meaning and beauty in things when part of you just wants to give up, watching your friends enter into a new phase of life you'd hoped to enter with them and seeing your paths begin to diverge.⁣
⁣
it's about thinking that we have control, yet knowing we have none. thinking we could have done things differently, that there was some better, alternate timeline we could have lived if we had made a different choice along the way. but at the end of the day, this timeline, this is the only one that’s real. and in this one, we are still alive, our families and friends are still safe. we still have each other. so we try not to reject this timeline or wish it away.⁣
⁣
time and time again we have learned that the hardest things we’ve gone through have been the things that shaped us, gave us depth, and taught us how precious the things that matter really are. i am grateful for every hardship i have had so far, and deep down i know that someday, somehow, i will be grateful for this one, too.
“when the smoke clears” is now out in all the places 🤍
