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.
