Behind The Song "Plug"

When I wrote the song “Plug,” I was dealing with toxic relationships in my life that I gave so much love to and those relationships I had were taking advantage of the support and love that I would give. I would give so much of myself to these toxic relationships that I was more worried about everyone else being happy, that I had no love left for myself. I was drained, it was unmanageable and I always had these reactions to turn to old behaviors because I didn’t know who I could trust, so I began to isolate again. The song is also about pulling away from the self- destructive thinking, taking the emotions and putting it into a song. At the time I had a few really close friends who understood depression and always made more than an effort to make me to feel loved and it was so hard for me to accept it or trust it because people had hurt me before. The song is about taking back the energy you gave to things that didn’t serve you and putting it back into yourself and those around you that nurture you for good things. It’s about taking that love and you have for the world and not leaving yourself out of the picture. Its about building that new relationship or finding that new relationship within yourself or one you create with someone else that is a powerful and unmatchable connection. Being the “Plug” for love can sometimes spread you thin, but I have learned there are so many different ways to show love and give love to others. We all have learned love differently, but we all deserve it. It was hard for me in the past to not show kindness to just about anyone, I would fall for the same type of person and end up being the “people pleaser.” Ex- relationships with people who don’t care about your well-being or people that bring risk to your stability will keep you from working on yourself. Sometimes we grow out of these relationships so that we can do better, love better, and find healthier relationships. “Plug” is about falling out of love with old ways of love and finding love somewhere else, whether it be with yourself, a passion, a new chapter in your life or someone else. This song was inspired by and written for a friend of mine.
