I wasn’t sure if I was going to put this song on my album. It represents the height of my desolation and desperation in the past year. I want to be a musician that spreads positivity, but it seems hypocritical when I’m trying to find positivity in my own life.
2020 was the first year that I had to deal with multiple challenges at once. It started with the breakup, then the pandemic, then personal and family issues. Things kept piling on, and there were many days where I just didn’t want to wake up the next morning. Just like in this video, I spent my time in my bedroom feeling stuck in a rut.
I saw a therapist, worked on a self-help program called Moodgym, and did my own research about mental health. There’s so much that I learned that I wish I could fit into this description box.
Ultimately, I think giving myself time to grieve and to heal was so important. Throughout the past year, I was rushing myself in trying to feel better, and when I didn’t, I felt worse. I learned to tell myself that it was okay not to be okay. I’m doing so much better now, and I hope it only gets better from here.
For any rosebuds out there who are or are ever feeling despair - know that you’re not alone. I’m sending you HUGE hugs. Be kind and gentle to yourself. We’re not perfect. We’re all just trying to figure life out, no matter how old we are.

Rosendale - Tell Myself (Lyric Video)

Lyrics:
I saw somebody leap to the other world
Jumping off the edge left behind his hope
But he could fly for a second incredible
I wonder what it was like when he finally fell
They say you hit the water and then it’s gone
All the tears you cried all the pain you felt
But is it worth all the hurt that you’ve probably caused
When they find that you don’t make it back to shore
To be honest
Sometimes I think about all of the same things
I wish I could go back so I could change all of my memories
‘Cause all of them are sad
All the drinks I had
Turned into a pool of misery
I wonder if I’m better drowning
I tell myself
No no no no no no no no
No
I try to tell myself
No no no no no no no no
No
They celebrate the life that they never knew
Can’t point out the elephant in the room
Most people can’t understand what you’re going through
So in the end does it matter the path you choose?
To be honest
Sometimes I feel like I’m feeling the same things
I wish there was a way that I could tell this to my family
But they’d only be sad
Maybe I don’t have
Any point in being here
It’s so unclear if I’m swimming or sinking
I tell myself
No no no no no no no no
No
I try to tell myself
No no no no no no no no
No
I’ll turn my headlights on
Speeding ‘cross the bridge
No it won’t be long
But I got to be strong
And I tell myself
No no no no no no no no
I gotta tell myself
No no no no no no no no
And I tell myself
No no no no no no no no
I gotta tell myself
No no no no no no no no
I tell myself
