The Story

Burnout was just the front door.

I thought I was unstoppable.
Everyone else did too.

For a long time, I ran at a speed that felt completely normal to me. I built something real. I poured everything I had into it. And then one day — I hit a wall.

Not slowly. Not gradually. Just — wall.

The hardest part wasn't the stopping. It was that I couldn't find myself on the other side. The person I'd always been — the one who knew exactly what to do next — she wasn't there. It felt like reaching for something familiar and finding empty air.

Getting a late AuDHD diagnosis at 43 didn't change who I was. It gave me language for who I'd always been.

Not an excuse.
A map.

Fireproof is the first song I wrote on the other side of that.

Not a song about falling apart.
A song about what was true the whole time.
