So I realllyyy wanted to stick to the 27th of September for VOL'S release, but seasonal depression has been kicking my ass and I still have to finish this final round of edits. I really don't want to rush it and end up overlooking anything so it'll probably be pushed back to October 🫶

Locking in for a night of final edits of VOL and I may have done the yearning too well, because I'm losing it just reading this back 😩😩
