[3/end] With this perspective in mind, I decided to write about it -- not to drag her, but maybe understand her better.

My latest essay: "Bandaids Can’t Heal Confidence," coming tomorrow to @medium.com.

Let's turn this page together. 💜

[2] In her new single, #Bandaids, Katy’s still chasing the spark that once made her unstoppable.

But perhaps that’s the problem: She keeps trying to patch over wounds the world won’t let her heal.

[3/end] Tomorrow, we're diving deep into Hilary’s bravery and honesty.

She said she wouldn't return to music until she had something to say... and she's saying a lot. And we need to listen.

See you tomorrow. 💜

“Mature” revisits a part of an era that many have buried. Having lived this in a way, it changed the way I hear the song completely.
