What the Detour Gave Me

Those days when I took the long way around were never a waste.

The days I felt anxious comparing myself to others, the days I came to a standstill because things weren't going as planned, the days I walked while holding back tears all of those moments were precious times that shaped who I am today. This is a song of encouragement filled with that sentiment.

"It's okay not to rush." With straightforward lyrics, I sing about the scenery I was able to see precisely because I took the long way around, the kindness that allows me to empathize with others' pain, and the strength to get back up again and again.

To those who are feeling lost right now.
May this song affirm the pace at which you walk and become a small light that gently illuminates your heart.
