“I don’t want to say that I’m glad that I’m not pretty, because sometimes in dark moments, it’s just like, “Man, everything would be so much easier, if I just looked a certain way, or was of a certain heritage.” But at the same time, in a sick way, it’s what truly drives me to make something that’s actually good, that actually makes people forget that I don’t adhere to those standards. But it’s still hard, not just as a musician, but real talk, as a person. As a woman living in the world, and how you’re valued, it’s so dependent on how you appear. At the end of the day, deep-down, all I want to do is be loved. Everyone just wants to be loved. And it’s easier to be loved if you fit certain standards, I suppose.”

you asked if i was feeling it, i’m psycho high 
know you won’t remember in the morning when i speak my mind
lights are on and they’ve gone home, but who am i?
oh, how fast the evening passes, cleaning up the champagne glasses 
                                                     we told you this was m e l o d r a m a.
