Zolita - Grown Up (Official Music Video)

[@jellyrcw12]

Our children deserve BETTER. No tolerance for predators.

[@Grace-vn5tv]

Attendance check!!! 🥺🤧😭 we are so proud of you. praying for your healing.

[@asmaelghouch5398]

Lieve Zoilta. Wel doen.

[@Yours_sincerely_thedreamer]

Thank you for talking about this. Especially when abuse is in the “grey zone”, where it is not apparent for everyone that it is completely wrong, it is so hard to talk about. My guitar teacher that I had since I was 14 started grooming me. When I got 18 he immediately moved to becoming sexual with me. He never broke a law. I never said no. But he was twice my age. I felt honoured in a way that I was an “old soul” for him and felt so “grown up”. My parents didnt intervene, they liked him. I never wanted sex, but my mom told me that I would have to have it when I wanted to have kids one day. I felt under pressure to comply with expectations. Now, many years later, I am out and proud as a lesbian and have a girlfriend! ❤

[@jellyrcw12]

Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry that happened. We really need to have NO tolerance for predators in our communities regardless of their affiliation or how well we know (we think) we know them.

[@carolinabaruzzo4417]

Oh my gosh, your mum!!! I'm so sorry to read this and so angry about it!! 😡😡😡😡😡 But I'm happy that you now are healed and have what you deserve, a los of love from yourself and youe GF ❤❤

[@ILUandYuri]

Воу,посылаю лучи добра и крепкие объятия❤ Рада,что у вас всё хорошо сейчас

[@kyosxmatriarchy]

So proud of you to say this, crazy cause I'm also a lesbian and happily with a girlfriend. It's sad majority of us are living the same lives ♥️♥️🫂🫂

[@kyosxmatriarchy]

I meant about the grooming

[@chelsjones]

going from the small town scandal music video straight to this one is possibly the biggest whiplash i have ever experienced.

[@mariajulyalaurentino1716]

YES

[@nashanovoa]

im so aware this songs gonna make me cry 🫂 the child in me thanks u for writing this song

[@angiemurray4458]

This reminds me of a part of my poem Zoe that I wrote a long time ago…”the words were so easy to hear and to say and my innocence was lost along the way”. No one has the right to take your innocence.💗

[@mellifluouswriting]

My name is Zoë 🥺

[@TiffanyZeyer]

I feel every single word you're singing down to my core, especially 'where are all the grown ups growing up' - I was SA'd by my aunts bf at age 3 with my extended family in the same damn room, so yeah where were all the grown ups? I had to grow up to protect myself. I'm in tears. Sending you so many good, loving, and healing vibes. 😭

[@colemaxwell34]

aww i’m so sorry (hugs) your so amazing for sharing that i’m here as a friend if you need me 💕

[@TiffanyZeyer]

@@colemaxwell34 Thank you!!

[@ChrissiFCA]

I'm so sorry to read this, sending lots of love to you. You deserved better❤

[@TiffanyZeyer]

@@ChrissiFCA Thank you so much, you're too kind!

[@kakiejackie9058]

Sorry for that

[@angel-no5sy]

Thank you Zolita, for saying in a song what I couldn't say in person. Congratulations 🎉

[@Mikka.Landry]

Not many people would have the strength to stand up and face something so deep like this. Thank you for still being here with us. Entertaining us, teaching us. We appreciate you and your music immensely. ❤️ So proud of you

[@ynabran]

Crying my eyes out while screaming the lyrics of this song rn Even when I saw just a chorus part on the Instagram I got goosebumps and tears because of all the bad memories coming back. Later I thought I would be mentally prepared for this song coming out, though I’M DEFINITELY NOT It’s breaking my heart over and over again and I’m getting angry understanding that such an experience is sadly too relatable for too many young people. I hope all of us will find healing one day ❤️‍🩹 Please, don’t be afraid to talk aloud about this shіt, all of those grown up аsshоlеs did this only because they feel their complete impunity!!! Thank you, Zoe ❤️

[@myaccount5002]

We are proud of you Zolita!

[@callmewtvruwant]

her smile could light up the world, this is so pure and raw i might actually cry 🥹

[@meganbryantofficial]

The way this film is put together is so incredibly well done. Poignant, beautiful, and guttural. Thank you for being brave enough to share your story 🤍

[@robynwest3625]

the fact that I'm going to wake up at 4 am for the premiere of a song that will mentally destroy me

[@maxl9643]

As someone who is currently living overseas I feel you🖤

[@Sky-cq4br]

One of the few songs I hope nobody relates too 😭💔

[@micaelamorrigan2544]

A lot of people do

[@ctrpillar]

Wow, I was expected a light hearted great song only to realize what you were saying and as a survivor of sexual assault and abuse as a child, it hit hard.

[@DDD2323-z5i]

This is heartbreaking, Zoe. You're such a strong and beautiful person. You're so brave to share this with the world. This song is going to heal people as they listen to it, help people who never had the words to say what they wanted to, and people who were never listened to or believed. Thank you, Zoe. This song is extremely needed. 🤍 🤍 🤍

[@w0nyysfl0wer]

This hit really hard.. it can be difficult to even talk about and get validation for especially in what I went through where I was really young, the person was 3 years younger, and I gave in after being asked so many times. I hope everyone can get validation and know that I’ll always be on your side no matter the circumstances ❤

[@CaseZapor]

Zolita, I just wanted to say that it's ok if you are still processing what happened. Everyone needs time and it's ok to reach out to others for help or assistance. I think it's good that you wrote a song about what happened. I hope that it helped you and that it will raise awareness. All of us are proud of you and we hope that you will continue to heal from this ❤

[@1Cosmic_Squid1]

Well this absolutely destroyed me. I mean, in a good way because same, where the FUCK were the grownups when we needed them. I was 12 and no one noticed. It's validating and also horrifying to realize so many of us had the same experiences. We need to do better for the coming generation. Thank you for being so open with your music and your experiences, it really does help.

[@jellyrcw12]

WOW girl, this song HITS. Thank you for sharing your vulnerability with us. The melody is memorizing.

[@adorosemarie]

zolita, this s breathtaking. thank you for sharing and this beautiful piece of art that came out of a dark situation that no one should endure.

[@cbrown1887]

Having been through this too, I am so thankful for all of the support and therapy in my life. As an adult, if I had heard this song without the support of friends and counseling, this song could have wrecked me. Now, my heart only aches for everyone else who's gone or unfortunately are going through this. This song was well written.

[@senuriamarasinghe5918]

It makes me sick how much I resonate with this...we love you soo much zolita❤❤

[@moochildddrm_6904]

I love you so much and I wish I could hug you and protect this little girl❤️

[@padmasa]

Emotionally destroyed by this wonderful song. Thank you so much.

[@alilovesyou]

So Heartbreaking 😭 thank you for sharing this with us

[@vaniaroquegarcia7369]

I'm having so many feelings... This song... Listening to it and looking back, made me see clearly, our mind is really amazing and make us forget or paint it with more lightness some traumatic experiences... Thank you so much for this song, this lyrics, for having shared it with us! This is helping me so much! I'm so grateful, wish you and all the people who relate to this song a lot of strength, love and happiness so so much happiness in your lives ❤

[@alliecatscute5155]

Thank you for making this song, I know alot of people have dealt with this growing up and feeling like an old soul and I appreciate this even though it made me cry and remember!

[@angel-no5sy]

WOW, you took the words out of my mouth. To my step grandpa, and male cousins this song is for you.🪽

[@Slices_Here]

So good to see Zolita's childhood, I fell in more love with her

This is so vulnerable and eye opening, I dealt with so much as a young child and this song brings it all together. Thanks for sharing!!!!!!🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤

[@lesbianmoneysexual3945]

My experience is mostly mind games, but the chorus hits. Honestly I didn't expect this to be the theme (maybe I missed some memo), was blown away by the song and the lyrics and the matching videos even more so. Thank you!

Desde Venezuela con mucho amor ❤❤🇻🇪🇻🇪🇻🇪hermosa canción 😢 canción muy fuerte, además, hoy día las canciones son siempre temas romanticos o de excesos, es tan diferente y me recuerda al tiempo de los 90 o inicios y mediados delos 2000 donde las canciones tenian temas más variados, cantaban sobre todo, por más desgarrador que fuera.

[@anais3646]
