I got to play Kim in Bye Bye Birdie, Sandy in Grease, and Maria in The Sound of Music. And it was so much fun for me, but the thing that I looked forward to the most was at the cast parties. After the shows they had karaoke machines set up and that's when I could sing country music.

When I was 8 years old, it mattered what my favorite singer said and wore and expressed opinions about.

I don't think you should ever take life so serious that you forget to play.

Believe in everything you do. Believe in your mistakes and grow from them.

But you held your pride like you should've held me

I dream about finding an exception and finding someone who would make me believe in love and realize that it can work out.

I'm so lucky that my songs are basically my diary put to music.
