This past year has been one of the most challenging of my life. I have no doubt that’s true for so many of us. In some ways it’s been incredibly beautiful. I met the woman of my dreams and got engaged. I’ve had another year to watch my beautiful daughters grow and learn and play. I’ve had the joy of making a record I am so proud of with people I love and respect. But there has been darkness in terms of the uncertainty of career and the future. Fears and worries that can’t be put to rest with platitudes and a good night of drinking. I haven’t done it all right. I’ve made mistakes and fallen over and had to get back up and try again. One of the things I’m most grateful for is the ability to come down to the studio and create. And that’s what I’ve done. I poured myself into the amazing friendships I have (even if they’re not able to be in person) and I’ve gotten my ass to working. In addition to the new album, there is a LOT of music from me which will see the light of day in the near future. I don’t get to decide what will be “successful” and what won’t be. That’s not my concern. I make songs because I love it. It’s really that simple. I’ll probably keep doing it until I’m in the ground. If you find yourself quietly hopeless, you’re not alone. Reach out and ask for help. See a therapist. Talk to a trusted friend. Don’t ignore the darkness but don’t let it become who you are. I don’t know what the future looks like at all. But it doesn’t really matter in some ways. Find the people and the things which are good. And grab onto them like your life depends on it. Love hard and well and forgive yourself when you fuck up. I love you all a lot. And I hope to see you soon. Oh and go ahead and zoom in on the bald head. I’m not ashamed :). ❤️ ...

@WilliamFitzsimmons latest single “If I Fell Back to the Earth (You Will Never Find Me)” is available NOW! This is the fifth single off of William’s new album “Ready The Astronaut”, out on 6/25! Check out what William has to say about the song and stream/download it at the link in the bio:
“Anger is not a negative emotion. Righteous anger gives us strength to seek justice. To not accept unfairness or wrongdoing. There are moments in our lives when we have to make our own choices and say "damn the consequences, this is my life!" We will encounter pain. We will be betrayed and have to face the fact that in some moments the one person we thought we could count on will not be there for us. But instead of breaking us, we have a choice to get up, dust ourselves off, and begin again. Viktor Frankl noted that pain is inevitable, but our freedom to choose is always present. We may be bent by circumstance, but we need not break.”
