Unveiling the Truth Behind "Maybe it's Me"
23 February 2024
I've been holding onto this story for a while, unsure if I was ready to really open up. But here I am, sharing the truth behind "Maybe It's Me"—a song that took more out of me than I ever expected.
You see, for as long as I can remember, I've been that person—the one who goes out of their way to make sure everyone else is okay, even if it means completely ignoring my own needs. I thought that was love. That if I just did enough, gave enough, people would love me back the way I needed. Spoiler alert: I was wrong.
It wasn’t until I started writing this song that it hit me—I wasn’t just chasing love in all the wrong places, I was chasing it in the wrong ways. Pleasing people had become my crutch, and I’d lost myself in the process.
In the video, I break down how this pattern of behaviour started in childhood, where love and approval got tangled in my mind. Writing "Maybe It's Me" helped me realise that the love I was chasing has to come from within first.
I hope you feel this song as deeply as I do. This is more than just another release for me—it’s a part of my healing, and I hope it can be part of yours too.
See you at the next note.
