For a while I was looking forward to having to get another job, ... I had this fantasy about applying to this place in upstate New York, Green Chimneys. They do occupational therapy with kids, using farm animals. I thought that was something I could be passionate about. But music just kept on coming back.
My biggest inspiration has been romantic relationships, because there's something about the way that you are in a relationship that is reflective of your relationship with the world.
This a real but minor issue involving a vendor-quality problem in a small number of units,
They basically wanted me to audition my songs,
I got my feet on the ground and I don't go to sleep to dream, you got your head in the clouds you're not at all what you seem.
I don't go on lunch dates with friends. I hear about people having dinner parties, but I never do that. I'm not really human.
You think you're looking at things all the time, but you're not looking at things, you're looking at what your brain is interpreting through light and color. And who knows what everybody else sees?
I really don't think anything I do is a mistake. It could be if I didn't learn from it.
Everybody sees me as this sullen and insecure little thing. Those are just the sides of me that I feel it's necessary to show because no one else seems to be showing them.
I read on the Internet that I was dead.
I'm a really good parent to myself sometimes, and I do things that make me learn and grow.
If I were to imagine myself as an idler wheel inside some big mix of gears, then I would be connected to everything. It's not like there's just me and then nothing.
And if I'm being honest, I don't think I have an ex-boyfriend who would have something mean to say about me.
Everything that happens to me, I experience it really intensely. I feel it very deeply.
