I don't let anyone's insecurities, emotions, or opinions bother me. I know that if I am happy, that's all that matters to me.

I'm losing myself trying to compete With everyone else instead of just being me Don't know where to turn I've been stuck in this routine I need to change my ways Instead of always being weak I don't wanna be afraid I wanna wake up feeling beautiful today And know that I'm okay 'Cause everyone's perfect in unusual ways You see, I just wanna believe in me

I want to get to the point where one day I don't have to have anything but a rug and a microphone stand on stage and still be able to sell out places like Madison Square Garden, like Bruce Springsteen does.

I pray every night before I go to sleep and every morning when I wake up.

All of my past challenges have helped me become who I am today.

One of the reasons I was so unhappy for years was because I never embraced my emotions and I was trying to stay in control.

My tattoos are reminders to hang in there when things get rough.
