i'd like to take this moment to thank @paloaltongue1 for all that he's done. mental health needs to be taken into consideration within the entertainment industry; and i think he's one of the artists who have actively spoken out about it. from the bottom of my heart, thank you.

his work has proven that there's so much more to music than you may believe, and i think that's truly inspiring. alright, let's get back to the thread :')

i'd like to thank all the artists as well. being in the entertainment industry must be extremely difficult and a burden at times, however you're all able to stick through it. stay strong, we love all of you. and to all my fellow khh fans, i sincerely thank all of you too.
