This song speaks to a phenomenon that I think people aren’t really aware of because we don’t talk about it a lot: the idea of grieving the negative things in your life. Missing your addiction, mental health problems, abusive partner, self harm, and eating disorders is normal. Recovery is about managing those moments, and treating yourself with kindness. This song — this whole next EP, really — is another step in grieving my addiction: a love letter to the me before recovery.
