Me and my ego Sitting on the swings 3 blocks from my home Way too late to be Chipping rubber hugging at our knees Me and my ego On neutral turf Somewhere safe to negotiate terms We would come here with Smirnoff Ice and freestyle You love someone and then you change It’s funny, my ego Looks a lot like you Packing the van up Like a Subaru photo shoot Much as I appreciate what he's done to help me through It doesn’t serve me to be you You love someone and then you change

about

I wrote "Me and My Ego" as a way of saying goodbye to a past version of myself that was no longer serving me.

I imagined myself at this park where I spent a lot of time growing up. I have some memories of feeling abandoned and alienated at this park, just as I have memories of making new and exciting connections here. It's a place of serious possibility and intensity. The song dropped me into something like a breakup conversation, late at night. The feeling of liberation and grief at the same time. I was breaking up with a version of me that had achieved a lot, connected with a lot of people, and taken me this far in life. But it wasn't me anymore.

As part of this growth process, I considered a friend who has always been a source of inspiration– someone who lives beautifully and has found a lot of success with his style. I've often tried to emulate what he would do both in daily life and at these crossroads moments, but I realized that how I live is sometimes pretty different from his approach. So I felt this distancing happening, this sense that I am not going to mirror him in the same way I used to.

It was freeing to decide that I would make decisions more internally, more based on feeling and what I like, rather than on what other people would do. But also scary to think how that could potentially pull me apart from this important friend. The great irony is that I actually feel more connected to him than ever, and now I feel like I have more to offer that friendship on my side. I feel more connected to myself, too.

You love someone and then you change <3
