Writing helps me process things that are happening to me.

I don't need a mirror to see that it's true, cause I'm ugly with a capital U.

Everything's been a struggle for me.

For a long time, music was hope. Now it seems music isn't enough to make me happy. It used to be that's all I needed to keep going. Now I need other things to take up the other parts of my life.

My music - that's the one area I won't let myself be pushed around. But in other parts of my life, I'm a confused mess.

How can I shield myself from the things that I hear?

I feel some kind of duty to be really, really honest as a writer. The same is true of my songwriting.
