Becky G

a good read on things.

I remember it getting to a point where I had worked so hard to get far in my career and optically things were very successful.

Behind closed doors, things were not very successful.

Financially, I was carrying a lot of weight.

And so if I was just a single girl living on her own, like I'd be just fine, but I'm providing for my whole family and it looks a lot different.

And so I remember just kind of like finally like looking up and being like, wow, I'm still here.

Like I'm still here and not in a good way.

Like I haven't moved forward.

Like I'm still in the same neighborhood I grew up in.

I'm still dealing with the same shit when it comes to like my parents and their marriage.

I'm still carrying these weights.

I'm still... And I thought I...

I reached a milestone at that point that many my age hadn't even really reached.

And I was still hung up on the fact that, but we're still here.

And I think that my mom, when she's witnessing me in that moment, it gets to a point where you're at a breaking point.

You're like, this pressure is unbearable that I don't even wanna exist anymore.

And I remember my mom grabbing me by the face and telling me, you could choose to never pick up a microphone ever again and I promise you it's okay.

You you're good.

We'll figure it out.

We've always figured it out.
