a letter to the one who taught me to dream 🕊️ my story, our family & why i started all of this

this isn’t the start of something new. this is the story that’s been there all along. a letter to my mom. my first video back in 6 months. i always knew the time would come when i’d share the real story — the reason behind everything i’ve made. it’s taken me years to find the words. but if you’ve been here quietly supporting me through it all… thank you. thank you for letting me grieve in silence. for noticing something had changed, and giving me space to speak at my own pace. your presence, even unspoken, gave me the strength to do this. the truth is: the meaning behind everything i do… is her. she believed in me, long before i believed in myself. and finding that purpose again — without her here — has been the hardest thing i’ve ever had to do. it’s still hard. but day by day, i’ve been piecing something together. not to replace what was lost — but to carry it forward. and this video is a part of that. filmed in our home, and the studio we built from the ground up. written during slow mornings. scored with 3 original piano compositions i wrote in the first months after she passed: I See You, I Feel You, and Ripples. they hold a kind of grief that words couldn’t reach. thank you for being patient with me. thank you for being here as i made our childhood home — the place she raised me and Ashleigh — a space to dream in again. 🌟 subscribe https://youtube.com/c/maisyleigh I document what it means to live intentionally in a digital world — from designing cozy tech products to building a creative studio with my family.
