If I'm not doing anything to make a change, then I'm responsible.

Some people just don't like to be their self. I'm always looking, analyzing myself.

I have, my whole life, been healing the girl inside, the part of me that struggles about being a female in the world. That's why I write about the things I write about.

It seems nobody really talks about what we do with our emotional pain. Only the ascendant perhaps, who have learned how to fully meditate or do yoga or whatever through their emotional pain.

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.

In reality, on the grand scale, in my opinion... we are actually all responsible for each other.

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