“One year ago today I released my second album The Pains of Growing,” she captioned a slideshow of images. “I owe so much to this record and that time in my life for everything it brought out of me. I wouldn’t be the songwriter, artist, or woman I am, had I not lived through every moment TPOG put in front of me. it was a million things more than a record.”

“I’ll always look back on this one with such bittersweet feelings, but I saved a space in my heart for it that’s warm and really special,” she added. “Thank you to those who have done the same. here are some noteworthy moments—including playing the album front to back for the first time over some soup in London, diving into 15 foot deep water for the art, the listening party at E & C’s place at midnight etc. walking out of this era with my suit and tie on, both a little more fitted now. 🌻🌻🌻.”
