00:00 I used to be managed by Elton John.

00:02 He would call me like once every couple of weeks to check in and say hi and make sure

00:07 that I was okay and there were some times in that period where I wasn't okay.

00:11 We parted ways and I wrote this long letter to say how sad I was about the situation and

00:20 there was a big Elton shaped hole in my life and over the next few years as my life began

00:25 to sort of spiral out of control I held much resentment for the fact that I'd made myself

00:31 very vulnerable in this letter and told him all about my sobriety and I was quite cross

00:35 with him for a few years.

00:37 For not responding.

00:38 And I thought it was mean of him actually.

00:40 And then when I moved here to America I was unpacking and I found the letter.

00:45 I never sent it.

00:47 Oh my god.

00:49 Elton, if you're listening, which you're probably not.

00:53 I love you and I no longer harbor that resentment towards you.
