Description
the last song in the pause series, and the instrumental from doja cat's 2015 demo "eyes on u".
"one day" was made during the last semester before i dropped out of college: i started working on it amidst an extremely debilitating anxiety attack that marked the beginning of the end of my first (and last) real relationship. i've dealt with anxiety most of my life, but it became especially problematic when in a relationship that i couldn't healthily contribute to, as my anxiety was overshadowing every part of my life.
i originally titled the track "one day we'll have to face ourselves", which i later shortened to "one day" (the original title was corny as fuck). while the original name was very corny, the message still resonates with me: to this day i have many deeply rooted issues that i failed to address over the years, and as a result i'm not in the place i could be. i've fucked up friendships, "relationships", and sunk into a weird pit that has been hard to climb back out of, and i know that at some point i'm going to have to address it all. the catch is that the longer we wait to address our issues, the harder it becomes to manage them and regain control; that's what "one day" is about.
50% of the primary sale to be donated to a mental health outreach organization of the winner's choosing: to make it more straight forward, i've selected three organizations to choose from:
1. The National Alliance on Mental Illness
2. Mental Health America
3. The Giving Block
