"A Boat on the Sea" by Kristen Vigard
This song found me when I was about 16 or 17, right around the time I started practicing self-loathing and substance use.
It found me again today, having been practicing self-compassion and sobriety for 539 days.
It means more to me today than it did back then.
I’d love to record myself singing it with a pianist.
I never knew I was built so strong
My heart, my heart is a boat on the sea
I never thought I was built for hurricanes
My heart, my heart is a boat on the sea
