There certainly are situations where I feel not empowered or uninspired. Particularly when the person's agenda is to intimidate through abusing their position or their authority. When I am present and in a nonreactive state, then I can become like snake and slide through their "intimidation net" back into the creative plane. When I am in a reactive state, I usually regret responding, because usually all that happens is that the intimidator feels righteously vindicated.

I realized that what was most important to me was following my own path, and not the one laid down for me by others.

I'm the queen of the nerds.

So close to touching freedom, then I hear the guards call my name

My favorite saying is, 'If it's too loud, turn it up.'

For many years, I shut down that place inside myself that needed to rage, cry, ask questions and basically just express herself. I made a conscious choice when I put (the song) 'Me and a Gun' on the record not to stay a victim anymore.

Right now, half the world is depressed and they need to be entertained.
