LISTEN NOW: Louis Tomlinson on Communication
When asked about the systems he has in place, Louis was quick to admit it's "communication."
"It's just really talking about how you're feeling and talking about your feelings and not being afraid of doing that, cause it's rarely not rewarding if you're brave enough to actually tell someone how you're feeling," he shares. "It doesn't always have to be something massive, you know, it can be something small as well."
"If you're brave enough to communicate and you've got friends, family that you can lean on, those things are, at least for me, are vital."
