Yeah.

And how do you love yourself?

I think you have to have a lot of grace for yourself.

You have to surround yourself with people who...

are like uplifting and non-judgmental no it's such a good point it's like the amount of times and everyone's timeline is going to be different but the amount of time you have to take at some point in your life to realize like you're going to keep getting a zero to nothing result when you're looking for other people's approval and you're looking for people to validate you and the minute that you are able to source that all within yourself there's still it will always be there of

But it can't be like the source of it.

No.

Okay, back to your album.

I love it because you write about kind of taboo topics.

How have fans reacted to some of these topics?

I think they're pretty chill.

You know?

I think...

You know, at the end of the day, it's songs, but it is a very relatable thing, I think.

And having a little crush on someone when you're in a relationship is like bad, bad, bad.

but I've had that.

And I think it comes down to, again, like just, it's not even really about that other person that I was interested in.

And just, it's just about me wanting to feel desired and wanting to feel like, Ooh, you know, wow, I'm so hot.

It wasn't even really about them because I've been reading through our text messages afterwards.

And I'm like, you're not even funny.
