In a world of smoke and ashes, you are milk and honey

It doesn't cost a thing to smile.

I managed because of my mother. I managed because I'm strong. I managed the same way every other abuse survivor survives, you just do. So many people have been abused, it's not rare, it's a very common human experience, and we survive. Also, my music plays a big role in my thriving. Having an outlet, it really makes a difference.

Things that I'm afraid to do are always about being afraid of being exposed. Every time, that's what it's always about.

I feel very strongly in my opinion that everyone is responsible to themselves for what they do.

I started dealing with my emotional pain by writing. I always had been a writer, but just not songs. Saying things on paper that I would never, ever say, and saying things to myself, admitting things to myself, about myself and my personality, just putting it on paper, is how I deal with emotional pain.

Any time someone is passionate about a cause, it's because they want to heal something inside of themselves.
