Four or five years old, I remember my parents, my mother and father, just fighting a lot, having these big blowouts. And I would really hate it. It would really upset me to the point where I would start to run away or I'd clog my ears, hide in my room, and I would start to run away. And I would just, like, kind of take off my bike and, like, go chill in the woods or something.

I don't want us to be separate. And I was like, is it my fault? You know, and they were like, no. And it was kind of like presented to me like, no, it's going to be a good thing.
