Alter My Direction concludes the story arc of moving on from the ending of a relationship. With every relationship that ends, while I retain scars, I also come away with new strengths and new insights on where I need to improve.

Spirit Away is about the self-reflected that occurs post-relationship.

In this case, it’s about me looking in the mirror, seeing the crows feet around my eyes, a few gray hairs, and wondering Do I still have what it takes to pursue what I want in life or am I kidding myself?

I can’t say for sure, but I imagine a lot of people go through this at some point in life, perhaps multiple times. Spirit Away is simply me acknowledging when those feelings arise. If someone listens to it and can relate, at least they’ll know they aren’t alone.
