Little Lotte

One love, one lifetime

The Phantom of Therapy, better known as Little Lotte, marks 2025 as the year where I took experiences that could’ve stayed sticky and painful and instead bottled them into something beautiful. 26 songs total, aging same as I, with a spine, villains, counter-voices, humor, anger, tenderness, and growth — that’s a hell of a year for anyone, let alone someone who was also unlearning guilt, fear, and worth-earning along the way.

Origin

Why? And why?

In 2024, my New Year's resolution was to connect more with friends and family and a newsletter called "De Leut" was born. Every month an update (well, almost), that my brother and sister recognized meant so much to me that they actually gifted me a published version of De Leut this Christmas (!!)

In 2025, it was all about connecting with myself more. I discovered a new, healthy coping mechanism for the first time in my life. I used to surpress a lot of feelings, especially the negative ones by being ashamed of them, trying to be positive, pretending they didn't exist etc. Then in therapy, I learned the hard way that ignoring them only hurt me more in the end. Instead, I found a way to bottle the emotions I was experiencing, no matter how negative, contradicting or complex they were. I poured them into song lyrics and created actual tunes out of it with the aid of AI. And this place? This my published version of 2025, a place to curate the songs in case I ever want to revisit them.

P.S. Why Little Lotte? The theme of this website is inspired by Phantom of the Opera, my first ever and maybe even favourite musical.

Start with Out Of Touch

These are the songs about my psychological patterns I've learned about in therapy and how some voices in my head sound, maladaptive or supportive alike.

I'd love to hear your theories about how some songs fit together in some timelines. It's all fiction and fact, after all.
