THE ALBUM
This is the debut album by artist lolitsmatt aka Matthew Shay, which follows Matt as he journeys through youth and recalls his own story through IGNORANCE (part 1) and ACCEPTANCE (part 2). Matt speaks on the conflict between taking risks for one's dreams and the comfort of preserving stability in one’s life. Ultimately, he concludes that taking steps of faith and "running far" for your dreams, is essential, even if it means encountering a few stumbles and falls.
