As you may know, I am a recording artist who has been writing, composing, and producing my own original music since I was about 16. Today, I am… older.

How much time do we have left?
What if everything they’ve ever told you is a lie? What if nothing about this world is as described? What if your entire frame of reference is fantasy and fiction? What if everything you’ve learned about human history is entirely false?
The moment we engage in a thought of rebellion, of engaging in the idea of an enemy, or an entity to resist, is the moment we define and essentially create that force.
