Listen, I've always been very headstrong.

I feel like something has changed for me, but it’s a new change, so it’s going to be hard for me to describe. Maybe it has something to do with turning 30. I don’t feel as shy or nervous or self-conscious. I have more confidence that I can handle what life brings me. I don’t feel scared to have an idea and express it. I feel giddy about it because it’s a complete transformation. It’s like I’ve found my voice.

I love domestic life.

For me, relationships are the real action movies. Bombs are exploding every day and the kitchen is Ground Zero.

Everything's connected, and everything has meaning if you look for it.

I don't want to do anything to embarrass my family or my church because the town that I come from is so small. There are certain things that I just can't be part of because of my foundation.

I don't know what my version of a relationship or marriage is yet, because the typical model seems a little broken to me.
