Legacy Story Lab
The journey back to your true self, returning to your "factory" settings - it's always somehow such a hard path. It took me 40 years to come back to my real self.
I built illusions, lived on expectations, got disappointed. Loved, hated, dreamed of dying, then dreamed of living forever. And nothing ever satisfied me.
I was always flying somewhere, racing at crazy speeds. Sometimes people around me didn't even have time to call out - I was already running far ahead. It was hard for me to make friends despite all my sociability. It was hard for me to start relationships despite all my capacity for love.
I've been without a relationship with a man for over 10 years. But today I'm in a harmonious relationship with myself and my daughter.
I moved halfway across the world from my family and loved ones to walk this path back - to myself, to my default settings. And damn, it's painful and beautiful at the same time. It's like being reborn.
Crawling out of the womb again at 49 - with all the emotional baggage I carry - turned out to be incredibly hard.
But I think I made it.
Exhaling. And emerging.
Without expectations or fears. Without hopes or regrets. With love and gratitude.
I present to you a musical album. Nothing more, nothing less. Born from poems I wrote 30 years ago. Musically brought to life through countless experiments with Suno AI. It's a kind of musical mini-performance about the feelings I lived through at age 20. About myself, about others, about love, about the world, about my country i lived, about pain. And of course - about happiness.
And thank you to every person in my life who was part of this story and many others.
Link to the album in the comments. Don't hesitate to share your emotions from listening 🙏
