Its Not the Stress that Kills Us

This works’ title is an incomplete quote. The full quote is “It’s not the stress that kills us, but our reaction to it”. The words spoke to me particularly at the time of writing, as it was a stressful period in my life. Composing is and always will be my safe space for emotional processing, and this piece was a part of that practice.
