Adderall, you know, they don't tell you that, but it's really synthetic heroin and all sorts of craziness. There's just a lot to that, a lot of layers to that, right? So I was taking that type of stuff. I was not taking care of myself physically. You know, I was super skinny at the time, too. I was, like, malnourished. I was high a lot, you know. I was drunk sometimes, a lot of times.

Not all the time, but like a very occasional drinker. Not just like I wasn't drinking every night, but like every time there was a function, you know, I would abuse it. Not abuse it, but I would indulge in it. Sure. So all of those things add up and they have a long term effect on your brain.

They have a long-term effect on the dopamine your brain creates that leads to your creativity, leads to your happiness, leads to your living a, you know, your mind. My dad said on my album Dark Sky Paradise, your mind can be a trickster. And it'll make you really believe that you aren't meant to live. It'll make you really feel like you're not who you are. Really? You know what I mean? Sure.

And so at that point in my life, I was confused. I had my head down and was working, working, working so much that I had to be on Adderall, working so much that I had to go from one thing to the next thing to the next thing to the next thing without satisfying myself first by doing what makes me happy. I let go of all of my passions that I love. I let go of no free time.

It's like, this is the time to get money. You know, we come from a place like Ohio, right. Or Detroit or like, you know, the Midwest in general, where when you get an opportunity, it's like, you got to take advantage of it. You got to keep your foot on a neck. You got to like, keep your foot on the gas. Like you don't let up, like don't let the opportunity pass.
