Summary

In this quote, the speaker admits that while writing and singing provide them with a form of therapeutic release from their past demons, their marriage holds greater significance in terms of self-acceptance. Despite the catharsis found in their artistic pursuits, it is through the loving and supportive bond in their marital relationship that they have truly embraced themselves. This suggests that intimate connections and emotional support from loved ones can have a more profound impact on one's journey towards self-acceptance and healing than any artistic outlet alone.
