“And they don’t deserve that. What you’re doing by being yourself is you’re keeping it real, and you’re being really brave.”

I need to be able to explain myself in context.

I’ve been kind of toying around with the bi thing in my head. I wouldn’t ever give myself the label ‘bisexual,’ but bi-curious? Yea.

I think, for the majority of my twenties, I was always so concerned with what I didn’t have, or what I still wanted.

I knew that it was my only shot to be taken seriously in the recording industry, because it’s fast and broad.

Conjure up all the strength you have and drive through whatever it is keeping you on your knees. Build up the strength and your knees may never buckle again!
