To whom do I owe the first apology? No one's been crueler than I've been to me.

No-strings relationships have helped cure me of love addiction. All my life I've been in long-term monogamous relationships. I had to break that pattern by not allowing myself to have a relationship for a year, stopping myself from committing to men. I haven't been celibate. I've had lots of dates and lots of sex, but I haven't been pushing to turn a date into a relationship. This has been a huge thing for me.

It's not hard to feel afraid and insecure. I still fight an inner-critic voice, definitely. I hear it a lot.

Getting married and starting a family has been a lifelong goal and one that I have persevered through different paths up to it!

I'm lost, but I'm hopeful.

It's exciting for people to define who they are in relation to what I write - whether it be by loving or hating it.

If I could sell 500 million records every time, it would be great. But I've also had the luxury experience of having it when I was a teenager, in a very kind of model version of it.
