    It's odd; whenever I've been drinking and allow myself to feel deeply, I come back to Scott. Every single time, I always listen to a playlist of Scott's songs and cry; nothing brings the tears forward like Scott's music. I am grateful for this human connection and hope that Scott is in a place that brings about peace. I hope that you all are doing okay. Peace and love, my friends.

      So much on the same page, especially when the fall comes. While sober, the whole discography feels overplayed at this point but a dram in and it hits as well as it did all that long time ago. Must be some rabbit phenomenon. Thank you all the fans for existing here and now x

      I comeback to this moment a lot, especially as I deal with grief. Scott referring to heartbreak as an eventuality that will happen in everyone's life. I like how he laughs almost like it is talking to a younger person about what being a teenager will feel like. You know it is going to suck, be awkward, and be confusing, but you will get through it, but not lying about how bad it will be. You want to laugh because you feel terrible but you remember who you were back then, how you felt, and you laugh like you do when telling a story about rough times you survive.

I feel you. I’m trying my best to put out my music. We’ve all got our problems. I can hardly leave unless I’m playing a show. This hurt. I relate and am trying to draw inspiration to put my stuff out...I write and perform fine....but we all have our issues. Thanks for the nice comment. Made my day.
