“I
was in the winter of my life- and the men I met along the road were my only
summer. At night I fell sleep with vision of myself dancing and laughing and
crying with them. Three year down the line of being on an endless world tour
and memories of them were the only things that sustained me, and my only real
happy times. I was a singer, not very popular one, who once has dreams of
becoming a beautiful poet- but upon an unfortunate series of events saw those
dreams dashed and divided like million stars in the night sky that I wished on
over and over again- sparkling and broken. But I really didn’t mind because I
knew that it takes getting everything you ever wanted and then losing it to
know what true freedom is.
When
the people I used to know found out what I had been doing, how I had been
living- they asked me why. But there’s no use in talking to people who have a
home, they have no idea what its like to seek safety in other people, for home
to be wherever you lied you head.
I
was always an unusual girl, my mother told me that I had a chameleon soul. No
moral compass pointing me due north, no fixed personality. Just an inner
indecisiviness that was as wide as wavering as the ocean. And if I said that I
didn’t plan for it to turn out this way I’d be lying- because I was born to be
the other woman. I belonged to no one- who belonged to everyone, who had
nothing- who wanted everything with a fire for every experience and an
obssesion for freedom that terrified me to the point that I couldn’t even talk
about- and pushed me to a nomadic point of madness that both dazzled and
dizzied me.
Every
night I used to pray that I’d find my people- and finally I did- on the open
road. We have nothing to lose, nothing to gain, nothing we desired anymore-
except to make our lives into a work of art.
LIVE
FAST. DIE YOUNG. BE WILD. AND HAVE FUN.
I
believe in the country America used to be. I belive in the person I want to
become, I believe in the freedom of the open road. And my motto is the same as
ever- *I believe in the kindness of strangers. And when I’m at war with myself-
I Ride. I Just Ride.*
Who
are you? Are you in touch with all your darkest fantasies?
Have
you created a life for yourself where you’re free to experience them?
I
Have.
I
Am Fucking Crazy. But I Am Free.”

“I
would teach children music, physics, and philosophy; but most importantly
music, for the patterns in music and all the arts are the keys to learning”

Plato
“The
man that hath no music in himself, Nor is not moved with concord of sweet
sounds, Is fit for treasons, stratagems, and spoils; The motions of his spirit
are dull as night, And his affections dark as Erebus. Let no such man be
trusted. Mark the music.”
―
Shakespeare, The Merchant of Venice
“Music
sounds different to the one who plays it. It is the musician's curse.”

“If
I cannot fly, let me sing.”

Stephen Sondheim
“If
you feel so empty
So
used up, so let down
If
you feel so angry
So
ripped off so stepped on
You're
not the only one
Refusing
to back down
You're
not the only one
So
get up”

Three Days Grace, Three Days Grace
“We
are the ones who take this thing called music and line it up with this thing
called time. We are the ticking, we are the pulsing, we are underneath every
part of this moment. And by making the moment our own, we are rendering it
timeless. There is no audience. There are no instruments. There are only bodies
and thoughts and murmurs and looks. It's the concert rush to end all concert
rushes, because this is what matters. When the heart races, this is what it's
racing towards.”
