I left a comment on the full album stream that I hope that, if nothing else, this album allowed Justin to live in peace with his demons. I'm grateful to hear that not only is he living in peace, but has found a way to thrive.
It's awkward as a fan having the implicit understanding that the art we are enjoying is a direct result of someone suffering to make it. Justin has always made it clear it takes a certain amount of clawing himself open to create what he does, and often all we can do is listen and say "wow this is amazing, I hope things get better for you". One's ability to reach out and share in someone's pain, or at the least emphasize with it, is pretty limited on these social media platforms, and so often it feels like a one way communication where an introspective, artful person is ripping themselves apart at the seams in the hopes that we find some enjoyment out of it. I'm not a creative, so the thought of going through that kind of brutal introspection for the sake of other people is tough to wrap my head around. But at the end of it, you emerged, wounds intact but healing. While I don't like pain or the thought of other people going through it, you did everything you could to take that pain and make it something beautiful. Violent, frantic, thunderous, and most certainly terrifying, but beautiful nonetheless.
So let me just say plainly and clearly, thank you for taking care of yourself, please continue to do so, and always keep your mental health your number 1 priority. Thank you for sharing your story and continuing to bleed yourself out for our sake. I hope you are able to rekindle the friendships and opportunities you lost, or forge new ones. And I hope you are able to genuinely smile today and every day moving forward.

At the end of 2011 I found your music.. I was blown away. Finally I found a musical artist who’s words felt as if they understood every fear in my mind and the pain in my heart and soul.. you helped me to push through the agony but even sometimes I would sit and cry and feel the agony with you through specific songs and lyrics you created.. I was latched instantly and felt so alone until I would listen to The Home We Made, Aporia, Runaway, Etc. I felt like I knew you and you knew me.. crazy how spirituality works even within music. You have come so far and today I finally get to see you live in LA and I can’t even begin to explain how much of my inner teenage years are about to be healed within this one night <3 thank you for being you!

You’ve made it so far, Justin. And by that I don’t mean only as a musician, but as a person. Hearing about your journey that plunged you into the depths, I was shaken to hear that at one point we would have lost you completely to those thoughts of wanting to disappear from life, but you pulled through and you redirected that darkness into creation instead of more self destruction. You inspire me to do the same, to rise up, to listen to the small part in us that screams “I want to live” in the face of all the agony and misery of life. I’m just a stranger on the internet who has followed you and your work for years, but I’m so so proud of you.

Thank you so much for being willing to share such a story. I've battled with severe depression and schizophrenia for my whole life, and for years and years I plotted, planned, and, every time, failed to act out my own end. That thing keeping me here, that small gossamer, it was hope. Hope that, one day, I'd be alive again. Your music brought me through those darkest times, those 3am nights of writhing in pain, willing myself to end it.
It's been three years since my last trip to the mental hospital for an attempt on my own life. In those years, I've experienced more life, more love, more simple contentedness than I ever imagined that I could in those painful years. I still have bad days but, like you, for the first time, I'm excited to live. To simply /exist/.
Thank you, Justin. Not just from me, but from my friends and family, too. I am happy that we've both made it through.

We love you Justin. Your story is inspiring because I'm sure alot of us have been in the same spot. But I'm glad you decided to keep going and share your story with us. I hope to eventually see you play a show again one of these days

This was beautiful and I'm SO happy that you were able to find your way back against that -- void. That takes a lot of courage, especially when you're in it and you've already tried multiple things, and it's SO good to watch you smiling at the end. that we aren't just hearing about what led you into writing a raw, honest, terrifyingly beautiful album but also -- that that album is something that's in the past, that you've overcome. idk, so many people are lost so often and so early and it's also such a common trap to think that despair is where creative value comes from and. i'm really glad you found that desire to live and that exuberance in the world beyond it.
i will stop rambling now! but yeah. much love <3

you are so brave for telling the world about your experiences, where many celebrities would often keep such things, developing addictions and disappearing from the world and all those coping mechanisms that society frowns upon, a secret for fear of shame. how you went in so deep to "know thyself" and therefore correct your flaws is an undertaking much easier said than done in the eyes of many, and yet you were a man of your words - and while you may say you had moments of weakness on the long and rocky path to healing, ultimately you stayed strong by staying in this world with us. you lived to tell the tale and light a path for whoever may fall into that darkness again, and we admire your example and are endlessly grateful for it.

I have been reading a book on the importance of role models in order to live a fullfilling life.
This is hard for me, since I have a deep distrust on everyone. Consequence of isolation in teenage years.
But everything I see from you Justin makes me believe that you are one of the best role models I would like to imitate.
I have identified deeply with your art since the first time I felt it.
Thank you for being you.

I didn't know I needed this, but I needed this very much.
Thank you for this and for you still existing.

exuvium and your intent behind (or at least to the extent that I understand and interpret that intent) has inspired me throughout many aspects of my life including music

This was an incredibly beautiful ending to this video series. I'm beyond happy for you that you've been able to crawl out from the pit you were in, Justin. It's such a difficult, brave thing to do. <3

Much love ❤! You are all loved!

Thank you so much, Justin. Your willingness to tell your stories, both in your interactions with us and through your music, is so powerful. To be honest, I feel inspired by this to take a deeper look at myself. I want to know who I really am, I want to explore myself and the world around me, and I want to feel that freedom, too. You’ve impacted my life more than you’ll ever know, and I’m so grateful for it. I also hope you will continue to grow and dive deep within yourself and the world around you—no, I know you will.
I’m also looking into taking music production classes because of you. More than anyone else, you’re the artist who has touched my soul in a way no other could from the moment I first heard Windswept and DRIP. Because of you, I really do want to become an artist, too. So thank you so much for everything, but especially for helping me not feel alone during my darkest nights. I really appreciate you.
