The Love You Know

I could say a lot about 2024. It was an incredibly trying year for my entire family however, I feel that life always has a way of balancing itself back out. Just because you’re on the tipping scale right now about to fall off doesn’t mean it’s going to stay like that forever. Honesly the first half of 2024 I felt that I did utterly nothing but work a job I hated. Fast forward to the second half of not being able to work that job because of countless hospital visits and tests, having a stroke and a heart procedure. I started feeling really grateful in hindsight that I was working that job. Money goes away as fast as it can come in. The other much more important thing I have thought about more than ever in 2024 was my family. How grateful I am to have people that care in my life and want to see me win.

My cousin is deployed halfway around the world right now and has been for the last 9 months. Leaving our family and his immediate family, including his wife and two kids. I can imagine and can attest for myself that it’s one of the hardest things I think they’ll ever have to endure. However, what 2024 has shown me is that the harder things get, the more I realize I’m strong enough to endure and push through them. No matter what you are dealing with I know you want to push forward, you must. What else is there but resilience, faith and a few hardships along the way to show you tangible evidence that you are capable to endure. But while youre at it, don’t forget to share the love you know. Much Love TB

Not Alone

I held onto this song for about two years before I released it perhaps out of insecurity. Then again perhaps it’s because I was paralyzed by working a full time job and letting that consume me, like we all tend to regrettably. But I thought about it and had been watching Nic D videos on youtube and he had said ‘Done is better than Perfect’ and it has truly changed my life. I set my released date for Not Alone I think the very next night. Im so grateful that I discovered him and his awesome advice because I really needed to hear what he had to say. Shout out to Austin Coupe who did the vocal mix on it and has gone on to do things that I don’t think even he imagined. It’s amazing to see your friends succeed in monumental ways. Support your friends and don’t be jealous. If you are then you aren’t their friend. That goes both ways. Much love TB
