The first album was kinda of like this diary that someone discovered and i was kinda forced to read it in front of people, this album for me is more kinda like a journal i left open and i'm like "i dare you to read it"

The diary/journal metaphors in the beginning were so on point when it comes to the explanation of her two albums.

she's just so honest with everything she does. all of her words about the album are all spread out on her face and her body and most particularly on her music. jillian has such an unique form of making art, it hits me really hard everytime i listen to her albums.

I love her music, but she bothers me as a person so much. She's just so unbelievably irritating to me.
