Now, with four days left before I enter treatment, I want to honor where this song really came from. Before it belonged to anyone else, it belonged to me. I realized I didn't want it to be only about me. I wanted other people to be able to hear their own story in it. So I changed the title to Because I Found You. The heart of the song never changed—only the invitation. Instead of asking the listener to understand my journey, it invites them to think about the moment they found the person they had been searching for, whether that person is themselves or someone who changed their life.

When I sing, "from my soul through my heart, chasing my pen," that's exactly what I mean. I found myself in the words I wrote. My story has always lived at the end of my pen because that's all I ever really had was my story. A story that started out in despair, ⎯a story that almost was cut short ⎯a story of survival, ⎯a story of hope. If I have hope I have every tool I need to make it back – back to a recovered – “show up and be good people”.
