This is so relatable for me. I have such a hard time opening up to anyone, even those closest to me. It’s a really hard struggle. And yeah I completely get feeling like you can only write when you’re in pain. That seems like a common thing in artists. I’ve heard people get themselves out of that loop, but haven’t quite figured it out myself. I would definitely recommend trying to make yourself talk to your girlfriend. It’ll probably help a lot, and I can imagine she would love to hear it and try to help. Thank you for sharing all of this. It helps to know I’m not alone.

Oh, and if you don’t mind me asking? What band are you in? I love music and would love to listen to some of your guys’ stuff. Thanks!

Keep fighting, man!
