stuff, i was young and i felt a lot of shame in talking about it i felt like i had to go and just like have it all together and be this kind of like confident, you know, quote, unquote, pop star, that just went - and on the inside, i was just like, you know, like really struggling and this time around i was like, you know what? i'm not trying to prove anything to anybody. i'm not trying to impress anybody. i'm just trying to be me, be vulnerable, make songs that are really just like -- just be [ bleep ] honest sorry for swearing >> jimmy: yeah [ light laughter ] go for it. i -- i love it you know [ cheers and applause that's exactly what we want. >> yeah. and i think in doing that, i really, there's like -- i said this my album thank yous - i was like, you know, before i felt like i needed to be kind of healed or perfect to be seen and i realize that being seen is what, kind of, is the healing thing. you know >> jimmy: yeah >> and so that's why it's called "familia.
