You are Still Here
You Are Still Here is a listening space that acknowledges survival without requiring strength or explanation.
This piece offers sound as quiet companionship, affirming presence without asking you to hold yourself together. There is no instruction to feel hopeful, grounded, or calm. The sound simply remains, meeting you where you are.
Created for moments when everything feels heavy or uncertain, You Are Still Here recognizes that continuing does not always look brave or intentional. Sometimes it simply means being here at all.
There is nothing you need to prove.
No meaning you need to make.
You are still here—and that is enough.
