damaged fallen love
I think there are times in a lot of people's pasts where they've unintentionally fallen in love with really damaged people. You go out with someone who's a mess so you can feel less of a mess.
learning
I'm still learning how to be comfortable touring. I haven't found that balance yet.
cathartic hard helped performing
The only thing that's helped me get through some really hard times was just being able to write and express - it's very cathartic for me. I'm hoping that, by writing and performing for other people, it affects them the same way.
express figure figured helped life songs
Writing songs helped me figure out how to communicate with other people. I finally figured out that if I could express something in a song, I could probably express it in my real life, too.
great love putting
I love being domestic: making coffee, just putting on a record, and just sitting, not doing anything. It's so great.
along city curse deal learning met moving people performers ridiculous social york
Moving to New York City and doing what I do, social anxiety is a really ridiculous kind of curse to have. But I met people along the way who deal with it - performers as well - and they are learning to deal with it daily and deal with it in different ways.
struggle thinking people
The musician lifestyle is not easy for most people to understand. This is something I'm struggling with. When you're on tour, people think you're just having the time of your life and it's really romantic.
long get-better growing
If you work on anything long enough hopefully you’ll get better and I feel like we’re just growing.
want
I don't want to bury anything in poetry.
hard-times talking feels
I'm really out of touch with myself emotionally. I've always had a hard time talking about how I feel.
study excited
I'm excited to go study and read and immerse myself in something.
life-is-too-short people surround-yourself
Life is too short to surround yourself with people who aren't looking out for you.
trying cooks
Im trying to learn how to cook.
laptops okay sticker
Everything will be okay. I have a sticker on my laptop that says that.
