I sometimes wish i could just be anonymous, walk down on street just like everyone else. Before i was famous i was a girl on the heel with a guitar. I was a girl that just wanted beautiful view of the beach. And now that i'm famous it's really difficult to do very simple things. I think it's the hardest thing to give up, but my mother always taught me to be strong and to never be a victim. Never make excuses. Never expect anyone else to provide for me, things i know that i can provide for myself. I have dreams and i feel like i have a power to actually make those dreams become a reality. When you're famous no one looks at you as a human anymore. You become the property of the public. There's nothing real about it. You can't put your finger on who i am, i can put my finger on who i am. I am complicated, I grew up with a lot of conflicts and traums and i've been through a lot, just like everyone else. Mu escape was always music, and i am so lucky that that's my job. But if i complex all of this things and had no one to share with it would be worth nothing. You know you need something real and order of any of this stuff to matter. You have to have something that is forever, something invisible. I was bright up seeing my mother tried please, and make everyone comfortable and i'm always feel like it was my job fix problem. People-pleaser. But i am no longer afraid of conflict and i do not think like conflict is bad thing. Cause i know that when you grow up when you learn a few things you are no longer afraid of letting go. You are no longer afraid of the unknown. You are no longer afraid of going to certain places in your body and your mind and your soul that may make you uncomfortable. And it all started with if you can look at yourself in the mirror, you say 'I like that person, you know'. If i had gone through, you know, some of the painful experiences in my life, i would not be me. I feel like my life is borrow in this life is very temporary. I watched my friend's body deteriorate and to watch someone pass on so gracefully put everything in perspective. We do not value ourselves enough, especially young people don't really appreciate how brilliant our bodies are. I've always been very specific and very choosy about what i do with my body and who i wanna share it with. People think they lose something when they get married, but it doesnt have to be that way. There is nothing more exciting about having a witness to your life. I always considered myself a feminist although i was always afraid of that word because people put so much on it. When, honestly, it's very simple. It's a person who believes in equality for man and women. Minium balance each other out and we have to get to a point where we are comfortable with appreciating each other. I have a lot of empathy for men and the pressures that they go through in the cultures that have been created especially for african-american men. I have the same empathy for women and the pressures we go through. The woman has to provide so many things for their children. I consider myself a humanist. You know, everybody is not good at everything, you know,it's okay to depend on someone. It's actually what we're supposed to do. We're supposed to depend each other, and when you find the person that you trust and you love and you feel is going to respect you and tak all of the shit you have and turn it around and bring out the best in you, it feeds you. It is the most powerful thing that you can ever feel in your life. Happiness comes from you. No one else can make you happy. You make you happy. And one thing that's for sure the love i have, the music, from my husband, from my child, it's something that will last far behind in my life.Teksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
