To provide added context, Himeka developed an eating disorder, which led to her going on Haitus to receive treatment from a therapist and then decided to become a therapist herself rather than return to the Idol culture that made her sick in the first place.

That’s awesome! I loved that song, and the hopefulness it brings, just uplifts me every time! 🤘🦊

awww so glad!

Well said, my friend. I'd say the same about bring me the horizon. That's probably why they work so well together, and this song is so good.

we've reacted to a few songs off of the new Beartooth album! Check them out! we love Beartooth:)

From Micro: My heart goes out to you. A year and half can seem like nothing in the grand scheme of things, but it feels so freaking long when you are the one who's in the eye of the storm, struggling and trying what they can to just survive. You've been trying to catch your breath again for so long. I'm sorry you have been in so much pain during all this time, and on top of it essentially on your own. Words are not enough to describe how lonely and isolating it can feel to fight for your own existence. To wake up each day to these dreadful feelings of pain intertwined with numbness... It feels like being torn apart and trying desperately to put yourself together, over and over. These nights you evoke must have been so very painful too, and somehow I can relate to it with lonely nights I've known too, fighting for my life. For what it's worth from a stranger like me, I'm thankful you are here today, that you made through those nights, even if it may not feel worth it to you yet. It may take time to see beyond the pain and beyond the exhaustion, but you made it friend, and you are now able to rest your feet on the shore. You have survived times that were so deeply heavy, which takes a lot of strength, energy, focus... resilience. It makes sense to feel completely empty now though. I know for me that has definitely been the case once I have started to face past traumas and recognize the depth of what I've been through for years. When you're used to survive, you devote so much energy to keep it all together, sometimes without even really noticing... but it still costs you. Once the barriers fall down, you're left with all the exhaustion it has caused you and the awareness of what you've been carrying on your shoulders. It's huge, and you ARE strong, but it's also okay to be tired after pushing through during such a significant time. I don't know you or your story, but I deeply feel for this lot of burdens you've been carrying just on your own. I do hope that, with time - and maybe this step here of opening up, even just a little bit -, you will have the possibility to welcome supportive people into your life. Could they be professionals or not, as long as they are people who genuinely care and that you learn to trust with yourself too. To me personally, that's something that made a huge difference in my own life. The possibility of not being alone anymore, of having people pushing through for me when I couldn't, of knowing I could be my vulnerable self and not having to appear to be strong all the time... just because at the end of the day we're human beings, and there are seasons of our life that are difficult to walk through just on our own. Knowing we are not alone, that there are people out there who are rooting for us, can go a long way. Rest assured that we are here, and that we want to honor your story. If you would like to share about what you've been struggling with, or more of your story here, please feel welcome to do so. You can be proud of yourself for opening up here. It may seem "easy" as it's all online, or futile, but I can assure you it's not. You matter so very much. :heart:

From ThriceTheThird: Hello! It is great that you have something to live for. Your children, abut it is also important that you find self care. Please feel free to share more of what you are going through. I think that letting it out can be great therapy. <3
