I Was So Self-critical. I Still Am,

I Resent Limitations. I'm Going To Be This Way For A While.

When You Feel Things Deeply And You Think About Things A Lot And You Think About How You Feel, You Learn A Lot About Yourself.

I Don't Mind Making A Fool Of Myself. I Felt Like People Would Be Accepting Of That Because, To Me, That Seems Like An Interesting Way To Do A Show. I've Always Thought That It's Interesting To Watch People Work Things Out On Stage.

Hearing My Songs In Public Freaks Me Out A Bit. There Was One Restaurant I Really Liked In L.a., But I Had To Stop Going There When They Started Playing My Music. It Felt Kinda Awkward.

My Problem Was That I Felt Ashamed Of Feeling Sad Or Angry. Now, I Don't Hide My Vulnerability In My Lyrics. There's No Way I Was Going To Get Raped And Not Get Something Out Of It. I Learned About Power And Hope And Forgiveness. I Like Who I Am Now And I Wouldn't Be Who I Am If That Hadn't Happened.
