I Learned The Cello ,

Risk The Fall To Know How It Feels To Fly.

I Do Feel Like I Owe Something, But Not To The Industry. When You Say "industry," I Think Of A Group Of People Who Don't Really Care Much About You And Treat You As A Commodity. So, In That Regard, I Don't Feel Like I Owe Anything. But The People Who've Always Been Supportive Of Me And Have Always Seen Me For My Greatest Potential-those Are The People Who I Feel Like I Owe Something To. I Feel Like I Am Their Voice. I Owe It Them To Represent Them In A Way That They Can Be Proud Of.

I Thought I Had To Be Perfect. I Would Often Make Choices I Thought Would Make Everyone Else Happy. I Lived At A Pace That Was "good For My Career," Whether It Was Good For Me Or Not. I Have Learned How Important It Is To Check In With Myself And Listen, Really Listen.

And Im Happy That Im Not Super Skinny.

People Don't Expect Me To Be As Funny As I Am.
