thing so beautiful about struggling. I know maybe that doesn’t sound right, but there is something beautiful about going through hard times. I’ve learned so much about myself, and even though it’s been the hardest pe- riod of my life, it’s taught me about being grateful for what you have now. How have you used your platform as a way to talk about your physical and mental health? cause I was feeling very helpless and hopeless. I started having seizures back in July of last year. That’s really why I took to Instagram, because my I initially made [an Instagram video] be-
family and I were trying to find doctors, and no one could figure out why this was happening. I’m grateful to have a platform because I got many recommendations. At the same time, it saddened me when opening up that some of my words were misconstrued. It’s why I haven’t been more present on social media about men- tal health, even though I’d love to. But, through this time, I’ve learned that music and writing are my creative outlets. And what about your journey with sobriety? My sobriety is something I’m very grateful for.
It also got really misconstrued. I haven’t really spoken about why I became sober. I chose to be sober because of the seizures that I was starting to have because of brain inflammation. I’ve been a year and some months sober from alcohol and other things. I don’t think about it. I love this lifestyle. I wouldn’t push it on anyone, but it’s definitely an amazing feeling. It’s such an interesting word, the word ‘sober.’ It’s shown me the connotations that come with it—like, “she’s an addict. ” No, I’m really just living my life without substances to get me to feel something. I feel enough. What’s a piece of advice you would give Delilah from two years ago? This one’s emotional. I always see people saying, ‘I would’ve told myself five years ago X,Y, and Z.’ But, I didn’t know that I’d be here, to be honest. This one’s a hard concept for me to grasp because you never know. Maybe: keep fighting, you’re gonna figure it out, you’re still gonna be alive, and your dreams are coming true.
