“‘is this real?’ is a project I wrote in and through the darkest time of my life as I held hope for better days. I think many times people ask themselves in good or bad situations, “Is this really happening? Is this really my life?” During that dark point I had to find all the blessings in my life and hold on tight, know that God had the best intentions for me, and that everything was happening for a reason. I look back right now to a year ago from today and see how much life has shifted so much into what I had hoped for. Although a lot of the lyrics and sonics are about my love relationships it means so much more than that to me; this project was made at such a pivotal point in my life. I want this project to stand for risk taking, holding on, and melancholic distance, beauty in pain.” – WHIPPED CREAM
