I have so much more confidence in myself now than I ever did before.
That's a part of me going back to what I used to do.
I have no clue why, but maybe sometimes when there's someone you don't hear from, it's the person you want to hear from the most.
People do see me as sweet and innocent. Not to say that I am not those things. But I have other sides to me.
Too many lives go up in smoke - It's nice to laugh but don't be the joke.
I wanted to be a jockey. I'm serious. First time I got on a horse, I loved it. That's what I wanted to be, but my dad asked me to start performing with my family.
I can express gratitude for the simple act of being able to breathe in and breathe out. I can move away from darkness and depression to light and hope. I can be happy with who I am, not what I should be, or what I might have been, or what someone tells me I must be. I am me, the true me; you are you, the true you - and that's good. That's beautiful. That's enough.
There's other things I'd like to do. I probably won't tour for a very, very long time. It's something that you feel inside and that's the way I've been looking at everything.
I can be happy with who I am, not what I should be, or what I might have been, or what someone tells me I must be.
I lose things all the time. I used to lose my license all the time before I put a place in my car for it.
Big sisters and brothers... I am telling you, it never changes.
When I'm feeling down on myself or not feeling good about who I am, or maybe something happened and I'm feeling depressed, I eat to fill that void. Afterwards I'll beat myself up about it. I regret doing it, but I'll turn around and do it again.
I have a very strong family.
When I date different guys, I just have to stay away - and not let myself fall. Because if I do, it's over.
