From Sunstroke:

To be quite honest Kano, I understand how you're feeling. You're right, being vulnerable is absolutely okay. It can be a beautiful, heavy feeling sometimes, and it can help you notice and discover parts of yourself that were otherwise buried. Other times though, what we need is to let go of a little bit of that heaviness. To put on some fun music and take care of ourselves by dancing it off. Growing up is hard. Being 17 is definitely hard. Don't let anybody tell you otherwise. Feel all of your feelings, treat yourself with kindness, and go ahead and lift yourself up with these feel-good songs.

On behalf of Sunstroke, you are so loved.
