No father picks a few just to leave the rest. That line gets me every time. Thank you so much for this song - I know it will be healing to so many people
I'm also exmormon. (5 years now) You got this. It gets easier. I promise. You got this!! I love that this song absolutely captures how it feels to leave.
You have given many of us the gift of hope. It sounds like freedom. Thank you. EDIT: That goes for you too, Sophie Holohan, I hear you, you dang angel.
I've heard this song so many times, but for some reason this time I remembered the night my first boyfriend broke up with me. I was so upset and thought "this is what I get. God is mad at me for being gay." Something in my head said "Where did you get that idea." I don't believe in God anymore but I am thankful for my brain or whatever it was in that moment.
Maddie I'm from Boise Idaho, I knew your brother Jake in high school, I'm so fucking proud of who you've become and your music and voice is incredible and inspirational 💖🤟
Now I really want to sing this for my Unitarian Universalist congregation. There’re so many of us who went through this type of religious trauma, but still wanted the community that comes with a fellowship. They’ll appreciate this song.
I am in no way shape or form religious, but this song brought me to tears. Every word hit, and your emotions were so palpable. You are INCREDIBLE. NEVER STOP. PLEASE.
Your message is powerful and honest. Thank you for your courage and vulnerability to write and release these very personal works of art. You never know who needs it. 🤙
Please stay. I know how you feel. I’ve tried to commit suicide before. It was in 2019 and I was put into the psych ward for a week. My life has looked so different since then. I’ve enrolled in one of the top beauty schools in the nation. I reconnected with my best friend who is my soulmate (platonic) we are now going to live together. We both came out of the closet. Her being a gender fluid lesbian and me a non-binary bisexual. We’ve found community! We’ve both tried to commit and we have always helped each other through it. I made a big move out of my hometown where I was born and stayed until this year. I turned 22. I got the honor of taking care of my grandfather who helped my mother raise me when he had cancer and got to see him live to age 97. I got to be there for him during his final moments. And though I miss him so much it hurts I’m so happy I was there. I promised him I’d live a good life and I will fulfill that promise. I know it’s cheesy and said all the time but life does get better. I promise. I found a good medication that works for me. A wonder psychiatrist and counselor. You deserve life and happiness and all the other emotions. ❤
I will never leave for anyone else. You are an inspiration for the boundaries you've cut out. if I didn't leave, I never would've come back. GO MADDIE ZHAM!!
I know this isn’t fat funny friend, however I just wanted to thank you for that song as you have helped me so much and I love you so much. You are so amazing and this song is fire 🔥 YOU ARE AMAZING
I could listen to this song on repeat all day long - the lyrics, your incredible voice and pure strength - all of it. Keep rockin' Maddie and spreading good vibes, positivity, and compassion. We will be behind you all the way 💕

This song feels healing. Thanks for bringing this to the world❤
(I’m an ex-Mormon that was gutted by my family for speaking up.)

I don't know who you are and why you got recommended to me, but thank you for this.
Same thing happened to me I was listening to a video and then one of her videos came up. She’s been such a blessing to my life
Maddie really is the singer our generation needs. ❤️

Amazing to hear what music can be produced when talent isn't hiding their secular work. What a loss Christianity is for music.

You’ve lost your faith in what’s true. I love you and hope you heal
Your music has helped me heal while I transition 🤟🏻🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈
Ghandi said that if it wasn't for Christians, he would be one. How sad it is that some people taint how great God is and turn souls away from him.
