[@whiterabbit9938]

In most movies and cartoons, good triumphs over evil. Most people enjoy such movies and cartoons. It is because people love good. Study, work, exercise, illness, etc. cause stress. Stress creates an evil mind and leads to evil actions. Most people are good, but stress breeds bad thoughts and bad behavior. Give peace to all people by freeing them from study, work, exercise and disease.

"Ain't it like this town to only criticise a woman" PEAKKKK. Interlude needs to be a whole song 😭😭😭😍😍😍

[@catherine7835]

Interlede! there's a thin line between love and hate, and it was love but it wasn't fate. Now my mamas asking if I'm ok. And the internet says I'm losing weight. This wasn't how it was supposed to play out, so which side are you going to take now? Those people that I loved are just people that I knew once, there's rumours going round but and the truth is kinda nuanced. I wanna set it straight but my lawyer says I shouldn't and ain't it like this town to only criticise a woman. I'm blowing up my life but I'm standing by the creator. I'll walk out on the stage and go cry about it later, good thing I'm good alone because that's how I'll sign the papers.

I was married at 24 in ‘94. Divorced in early ‘99. Man this hits hard. Captures so much of how I felt. I met the love of my life in 2000 and we married two years later- just celebrated 20 years of marriage in 2022. It gets better. So much better. You know yourself know. Thanks for sharing your art and your heart.

[@schumacher5757]

I swear you and I are the same person with just one little difference. I was married in 94, divorced in 99. I loved him a lot more than he loved me - he was horrible to me & i really felt that how i was treated was what I deserved. Fast forward to 2001 and I met my husband of almost 19 years. You're exactly right - it gets so much better once you realize that 'you're worth love & deserve to be put first'. Although my first marriage was not a good one, it made me exactly who I am today. I graduated from college (something my ex didn't want me to do because God forbid I did something to better myself) and have had a successful career for over 25 years. May you continue to be blessed!

[@fire0nalexis]

the vulnerable position she had to put herself in, in order to write and than release this is unbelievable. such an outstanding piece of work. honestly; the visuals, the concept, the vocals. i am still in disbelief about the realness of this masterpiece. this is not only just music that you listen to in the background, but it is ART, like the type that you have to sit and listen to and take in every second. the growth that kelsea has shown over the past few years is remarkable, I am more impressed than I am capable of formulating sentences to describe how much credit she deserves for this body of work. outstanding. raw. breathtaking. real. this is what you call heart break turned into something beautiful. i cannot imagine all of the emotions that kelsea had to go through not only writing the album but also making the short film to go with it, and having to relive those moments of hurt. a true artist. 5/5 stars. *chefs kiss* honestly, just wow. incredible.

[@SiennaNotMiller]

I can't describe how much this spoke to me. Making the decision to walk away and choose your own happiness is such a difficult, multi-layered decision and she nailed so many of these feelings. Still the best decision I ever made and it's clearly the best for her too

[@brooke9895]

Kelsea, this was a beautiful yet hard short film to watch. To know the pain you had to hide and felt makes me tear up and just want to give you the biggest hug. You are strong and it is so admirable that you shared this in your own creative journey. Sending all my love and hugs to you, this was a beautiful production.

I swear I know it’s hard bein a woman of stature but if you just had you a good ole East Tennessee man who truly cared about you for you are on the inside and not all the fame and the fortune I wanted to start a KZbin which I did and start singing then I took them down because I’m born and raised right here on wears valley rd in pigeon forge Tn at the base of Gatlinburg and I thought twice about it and took the videos down because I love my privacy and I want to find that one true love In my Life im 32 now so I’m not getting any younger and I hope it happens but if it don’t I guess it don’t! I never I guess you could say have LOOKED FOR HER OR SEARCHED FOR because I feel the good lord above will bring her into my life at the perfect time and if I never find her I guess il just die an old lonely man but I will never loose faith she’s out there! Sorry you just being from Knoxville so close to my area your story has spoken to me and I hate you’re going through what you are but keep your head up beautiful there’s someone out there for us all as they say But I’ve just learned to invest in myself in my time but at the same time it’s almost like if you invest too much in yourself how will you ever find that person ya know… I highly doubt you will ever read this or see this but if you do I just wish you nothing but the best and hope that you find your true love like I said I know it must be hard being so famous I could but it’s the same time couldn’t imagine but you’re a beautiful woman who deserves to be treated with respect and dignity, love and careI know it feels impossible to find that there is someone out there for you deep down inside sometimes you just gotta go back to your roots to watch a beautiful flower end up blooming…I’m sorry I wrote you such a long comment and like I said I know you’ll probably never read it or see it but I just want you to know you’re gonna get through this love you @KelseaBallerini 🧡

I love this reaction to it. I’ve always described my music listening experience as something I can “FEEL” and I always put it in all caps because I feel like for those that get what that means, genuinely get it. It’s not just about experiencing one feeling. It’s almost like a spiritual experience being able to understand your feelings through music and art.

[@chloethomas-wy7zs]

I love the expressions she gives the first time she says “yeah it was love but then it was just married.” She makes this fatigued hopeless expression but then she is also very stern and so very powerful. While you can see her pain, it also sends this huge message to not to get too ahead of yourself and lose yourself in the process. It doesn’t always end up how you imagine it to, especially if you are not growing with each other. Loving someone does not always mean that they are the one for you and it takes real courage to realize that. I have not experienced what she has been through but even still her message is so clear. She did an amazing job with this whole album and performance. Such beautiful art you have created kelsea❤️

Since separating, I lost weight and took control of my health. I found true love. I found myself again.

This left me shook. At this stage in my life, I can't relate to what is going on but this brought up so many emotions for me! THIS is a masterpiece in songwriting and performance. I LOVED this so, so much. The strength it took to put this out.. oof. Go off, Kelsea. Love.

TAYLOR will be so proud. I bet she already is. You’re that level. You made it to impeccable levels artistically, sonically, conceptually. This is INCREDIBLE. Keep going

Why are you bringing Taylor into this? lol
