The story — in my words

I wrote this piece on a rainy Tuesday when everything felt a bit too heavy and serious. I looked out the window and saw a kid jumping in a puddle, completely oblivious to the 'gray' day the rest of us were complaining about. It hit me how much we lose as we grow up—the way we trade our curiosity for checklists. I wanted to capture that shift from seeing a city as a commute to seeing it as a treasure map. When we cut the track, I kept the energy light but persistent, almost like a heartbeat. We tried to make the bridge feel like that moment you finally let go and remember how to play. This song is my personal reminder to stop overthinking the destination and start gasping at the scenery again.
