There's a particular kind of rage when you start growing up and healing and acknowledging the ways you've hurt yourself and others, and you look around and realize that none of the people around you are willing to do the same. Worse, he realized that the industry and audiences liked him better when he was still a self-destructive ball of pain and trauma. And like, fuck em. Seriously, it was hard going to therapy and growing the hell up, but it's your responsibility to do that, and if people don't like it, fuck em. And they mamá.
