Written from Safety
Written from Safety is an album created from the other side of survival.
These pieces were shaped after the body learned it was no longer under immediate threat—after the breath slowed, the shoulders dropped, and the nervous system found enough ground to speak without bracing. The writing doesn’t rush toward meaning or resolution. It listens first.
This album offers words as shelter rather than instruction. Nothing here asks you to relive what hurt or to transform it into something palatable. Instead, Written from Safety stays with the quiet, steady truth of being alive now—aware, present, and allowed to rest.
The tone is gentle but clear. The pacing is unforced. You can read slowly, pause often, or step away entirely. The work remains intact whether you engage deeply or lightly.
Written from Safety is part of Still Alive, an album by Author Honey Badger, created for those who need language that does not demand strength—only presence.
🌿 Still Alive — About the Album
Still Alive is a listening space created for moments when words are insufficient and effort feels impossible.
This album does not ask the listener to heal, transform, or move forward. It simply acknowledges presence — the quiet truth of still being here.The pieces within this album unfold slowly, allowing sound and silence to coexist without urgency. Each track is shaped to support nervous system regulation, grounding, and gentle awareness, particularly during times of emotional fatigue, grief, chronic stress, or recovery.
This work honors the reality that survival itself is meaningful.
Being alive — even without clarity, strength, or answers — is enough.Some listeners experience a sense of settling or emotional release. Others may simply rest with the sound. There is no correct way to listen.
Created by Sound Alchemist Julie Jules Smoot, Still Alive reflects a trauma-informed listening philosophy rooted in consent, pacing, and respect for the body’s wisdom.
