      In most movies and cartoons, good triumphs over evil.
      Most people enjoy such movies and cartoons.
      It is because people love good.
      Study, work, exercise, illness, etc. cause stress.
      Stress creates an evil mind and leads to evil actions.
      Most people are good, but stress breeds bad thoughts and bad behavior.
      Give peace to all people by freeing them from study, work, exercise and disease.

This wasn't how it was supposed to play out, so which side are you going to take now? Those people that I loved are just people that I knew once, there's rumours going round but and the truth is kinda nuanced. I wanna set it straight but my lawyer says I shouldn't and ain't it like this town to only criticise a woman. I'm blowing up my life but I'm standing by the creator. I'll walk out on the stage and go cry about it later, good thing I'm good alone because that's how I'll sign the papers.

    the vulnerable position she had to put herself in, in order to write and than release this is unbelievable. such an outstanding piece of work. honestly; the visuals, the concept, the vocals. i am still in disbelief about the realness of this masterpiece. this is not only just music that you listen to in the background, but it is ART, like the type that you have to sit and listen to and take in every second. the growth that kelsea has shown over the past few years is remarkable, I am more impressed than I am capable of formulating sentences to describe how much credit she deserves for this body of work. outstanding. raw. breathtaking. real. this is what you call heart break turned into something beautiful. i cannot imagine all of the emotions that kelsea had to go through not only writing the album but also making the short film to go with it, and having to relive those moments of hurt. a true artist. 5/5 stars. *chefs kiss* honestly, just wow. incredible.

      I swear you and I are the same person with just one little difference. I was married in 94, divorced in 99. I loved him a lot more than he loved me - he was horrible to me & i really felt that how i was treated was what I deserved. Fast forward to 2001 and I met my husband of almost 19 years. You're exactly right - it gets so much better once you realize that 'you're worth love & deserve to be put first'. Although my first marriage was not a good one, it made me exactly who I am today. I graduated from college (something my ex didn't want me to do because God forbid I did something to better myself) and have had a successful career for over 25 years. May you continue to be blessed!

      I swear I know it’s hard bein a woman of stature but if you just had you a good ole East Tennessee man who truly cared about you for you are on the inside and not all the fame and the fortune I wanted to start a UA-cam which I did and start singing then I took them down because I’m born and raised right here on wears valley rd in pigeon forge Tn at the base of Gatlinburg and I thought twice about it and took the videos down because I love my privacy and I want to find that one true love In my Life im 32 now so I’m not getting any younger and I hope it happens but if it don’t I guess it don’t! I never I guess you could say have LOOKED FOR HER OR SEARCHED FOR because I feel the good lord above will bring her into my life at the perfect time and if I never find her I guess il just die an old lonely man but I will never loose faith she’s out there! Sorry you just being from Knoxville so close to my area your story has spoken to me and I hate you’re going through what you are but keep your head up beautiful there’s someone out there for us all as they say But I’ve just learned to invest in myself in my time but at the same time it’s almost like if you invest too much in yourself how will you ever find that person ya know… I highly doubt you will ever read this or see this but if you do I just wish you nothing but the best and hope that you find your true love like I said I know it must be hard being so famous I could but it’s the same time couldn’t imagine but you’re a beautiful woman who deserves to be treated with respect and dignity, love and careI know it feels impossible to find that there is someone out there for you deep down inside sometimes you just gotta go back to your roots to watch a beautiful flower end up blooming…I’m sorry I wrote you such a long comment and like I said I know you’ll probably never read it or see it but I just want you to know you’re gonna get through this love you @KelseaBallerini 🧡

    I want to write a 9 paragraph reply to this because it deserves it. Kelsea, this gave me chills, tears, sadness, happiness & peace in this short 20 minutes. I'm so insanely proud of you for this. It can't be easy to face so much criticism, rumors and judgement while going through the most trying time of your life, all while trying to keep the peace and not being able to share your story. I'm so glad that after some healing/self realization, you were able to do so. This is so so so beautiful. Writing your own music, directing your own short film and doing this all while doing 2 tours, an album and trying to have a personal life absolutely incredible. We love you so much. You deserve all the happiness and peace moving forward. Thanks for blessing us with being you. ❤

    I love the expressions she gives the first time she says “yeah it was love but then it was just married.” She makes this fatigued hopeless expression but then she is also very stern and so very powerful. While you can see her pain, it also sends this huge message to not to get too ahead of yourself and lose yourself in the process. It doesn’t always end up how you imagine it to, especially if you are not growing with each other. Loving someone does not always mean that they are the one for you and it takes real courage to realize that. I have not experienced what she has been through but even still her message is so clear. She did an amazing job with this whole album and performance. Such beautiful art you have created kelsea❤️

    This album hits home with my life currently ! I love that artists like Kelsea, Taylor Swift , Kelly clarkson , the list could go on… they have the ability to put emotions into words and tell a story that’s relatable. I’m gray because music is my therapy.

    The line “a backyard for Dibs” nearly broke me. Idk why but the most random lines in songs will do this to me. Maybe it’s because you mention your dog by name (making the songs so much more real), or that I’m looking at houses with backyards so I can get a dog for the first time since my childhood dog passed away (2 years ago). Or maybe a combination of the two. Either way this is amazing, I love you, and if you ever need a hug I have 1 waiting.

    This is absolutely beautiful yet heartbreaking because I can feel the pain that you went through the fact that you had to hide behind the music and the lights and the concerts and the awards and you couldn’t really scream out this is what’s actually happening and going on in my life and the fact that now you get to do that by showcasing this short film, and this amazing music is absolutely brilliant. Your pain has become true art and hopefully if anyone is going through something similar may this help them to show you’re not alone. You are absolutely gifted at storytelling. You are beautiful and strong, talented woman, and one day if you want and when you’re ready, I know you’ll find love again whatever that may look like.
