1
00:00:01,200 --> 00:00:03,400
Speaker 1: Hey guys, I'm Kaylie Shot and this is too much

00:00:03,440 --> 00:00:19,840

00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:23,120
Speaker 1: we're back. Um, it is too much to say. Two

4
00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:26,360
Speaker 1: point oh. I'm very excited about what's going to be

5
00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:30,360
Speaker 1: happening on the podcast and just like new things that

6
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:32,959
Speaker 1: I have planned. Um, but one of the first new

7
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:35,680
Speaker 1: things I wanted to bring in was what I have

8
00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:38,520
Speaker 1: too much to say about this week? Like every week,

9
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:40,560
Speaker 1: I feel like I have something that I'm obsessed with

10
00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:43,159
Speaker 1: that I can't get over, And this week it is

11
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:47,599
Speaker 1: the album Holy Fuck by Demi Lovato. Um, I literally

12
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:49,479
Speaker 1: I can't get enough. I think it's such an incredible

13
00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:53,959
Speaker 1: piece of work and um, yeah, the whole thing is amazing.

14
00:00:55,120 --> 00:01:00,200
Speaker 1: Demi has been a huge inspiration of mine for my

15
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:05,240
Speaker 1: entire teen years and she's been through so much. Also

16
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:09,120
Speaker 1: side note, she recently went back to she slashed the

17
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 1: A pronounced, so I'm going to be using both um interchangeably. Um.

18
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:16,319
Speaker 1: But she has been such a huge influence and I

19
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:20,480
Speaker 1: always loved that she was so rock driven and her

20
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:23,880
Speaker 1: music was like, I mean, it was like Disney, but

21
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:27,640
Speaker 1: it was also really really hardcore rock. And yeah, I mean,

22
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:29,959
Speaker 1: like you remember her old ones like every Time You

23
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:33,480
Speaker 1: Lie or Catch Me or my favorite was here We

24
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:36,440
Speaker 1: Go Again, Like I was obsessed with that song the

25
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 1: summer before ninth grade. And yeah, but this album, holy fuck.

26
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 1: It is very aptly titled UM but it is like

27
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:48,600
Speaker 1: rock rock. And I was listening to their interview with

28
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:54,280
Speaker 1: Zane Lowe on um Apple Radium and Demmy was talking

29
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 1: about how like she's had the same like she had

30
00:01:57,400 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 1: the same team for so long, and they really pushed

31
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:00,920
Speaker 1: her in this pop started direction. She was like, I

32
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:03,760
Speaker 1: was wearing, you know, bodysuits on stage singing pop songs.

33
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:06,800
Speaker 1: I didn't feel like myself. I wasn't enjoying the performances,

34
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 1: and like with this album, I'm like so excited to

35
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:11,239
Speaker 1: play them and it was just very cool and you

36
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:14,680
Speaker 1: could see how excited she was. I already am getting

37
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:18,399
Speaker 1: tickets to Nashville and l A on the tour. UM.

38
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 1: I think it's just going to be incredible. But there's

39
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:22,400
Speaker 1: The album starts off with a song called Freak by

40
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:26,799
Speaker 1: Young Blood and Demi wrote it like being inspired by

41
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:28,840
Speaker 1: coming out as non binary and having people on the

42
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:32,520
Speaker 1: internet be like you're fucking freak, and it's just such

43
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:35,120
Speaker 1: a beautiful album that talks a lot about their sexuality

44
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:38,359
Speaker 1: and experience in the music industry. But I'm going to

45
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 1: say my favorite song on there has to be twenty nine. Um.

46
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 1: It is a song about Demi, and um, they're supposed

47
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 1: I mean, it's I'm not gonna say it because of

48
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 1: defamation issues, but if you google it or look on Twitter,

49
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 1: you'll see who the song's about. But it's about somebody

50
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 1: that Demi dated when they were seventeen and the guy

51
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 1: was twenty nine. And the lyrics are just so brutal.

52
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 1: And if you've ever been a girl dating or a

53
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 1: guy honestly or whatever dating somebody older than you it

54
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:14,120
Speaker 1: and it's like had an unhealthy power dynamic. This song

55
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:20,920
Speaker 1: encapsulates it so well. And Um, I have my song eighteen,

56
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:24,079
Speaker 1: which is on the Open Book Underbridge version, and it's

57
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:26,359
Speaker 1: one of my favorite songs I've ever written, and this

58
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:28,800
Speaker 1: kind of feels like similar to that, and so it

59
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 1: touches a certain part of my heart. Um, that inspired

60
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 1: me to write eighteen. But I'm going to read some

61
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 1: of the lyrics from the chorus and then you guys

62
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 1: are going to go listen to the album, right because

63
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 1: I haven't shown up about UM Finally twenty nine funny,

64
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 1: just like you were at the time. I thought it

65
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 1: was a teenage dream, just to fantasy. But was it

66
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 1: yours or was it mine? Seventy nine? Ah, it starts

67
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 1: my feelings. It's so good though, it's so good. So anyways,

68
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 1: I'm obsessed with the album and UM. I have always

69
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 1: felt like I would die for dem Mo Boto, but

70
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 1: the fangirl fangirl me doesn't doesn't go away. So that's

71
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:22,960
Speaker 1: what I have to just say about this week. Okay,

72
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 1: So I've had a lot of time during the break

73
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:27,039
Speaker 1: that we took from the podcast to come up with

74
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 1: ideas about what I want to talk about because sometimes

75
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:32,799
Speaker 1: it's like, you know, I'm sure you guys being listeners,

76
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:34,880
Speaker 1: you know, when there was more ever put into an

77
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 1: episode than another, and I want to make sure that

78
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 1: I'm doing that every week. So I was able to

79
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 1: stockpile some ideas and like, you know, just things I

80
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:46,240
Speaker 1: wanted to cover because it's a lot of content. I mean,

81
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:50,640
Speaker 1: like I've been writing three to five songs a week

82
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:54,480
Speaker 1: and I'm doing a podcast that can be anywhere from

83
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:58,640
Speaker 1: thirty minutes to an hour, and also trying to come

84
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:03,120
Speaker 1: up with social content and have some visual things that

85
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:06,920
Speaker 1: like I'm working on for my for my next project

86
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 1: and figuring out where I want to go with that.

87
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:10,679
Speaker 1: So it's like I do only have so much brain,

88
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 1: So the time off was really great to have. Um

89
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:19,600
Speaker 1: But on this episode, I have been musing for ideas

90
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:21,600
Speaker 1: and I wanted to talk about the concept of being

91
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:25,280
Speaker 1: too much, and that feels very fitting because it's in

92
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:27,160
Speaker 1: the title and it's like too much to side two

93
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:31,240
Speaker 1: point oh first episode. But I feel like people get

94
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:35,559
Speaker 1: told this so much, and it always makes me really

95
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:40,040
Speaker 1: sad because like, I don't know, I don't know. It's

96
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:42,400
Speaker 1: like by people telling you that you're too much, it

97
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 1: feels a lot like being told that you're not enough,

98
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:47,280
Speaker 1: and then it like makes you feel like you don't

99
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:49,360
Speaker 1: have any self awareness and that you're just like all

100
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:51,600
Speaker 1: over the place, and like really, it's just people saying

101
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:56,880
Speaker 1: they're intimidated by your personality, and usually it's confidence and like,

102
00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 1: obviously I've heard that so many times of my life.

103
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:03,800
Speaker 1: My best friend Candy has heard that the entirety of

104
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:08,720
Speaker 1: their lives, and I personally feel like I am attracted

105
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:11,719
Speaker 1: to people who have been told that because I like relate,

106
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 1: and then I don't have to worry about making myself

107
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:16,920
Speaker 1: smaller around these people. Now, the worst kind of version

108
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:19,600
Speaker 1: is someone who's like, has a very large personality and

109
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:22,839
Speaker 1: also can't be around people with large personalities because it's like, Okay,

110
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:26,640
Speaker 1: well that's fucking dumb. But I love being around people

111
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:30,920
Speaker 1: who like collect friends who are quote unquote too much.

112
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:36,480
Speaker 1: And really it's like when you I mean, I think

113
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:39,599
Speaker 1: that some of it goes back to being neurodivergent, Like

114
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:41,640
Speaker 1: I have a d h D and a lot of

115
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 1: my friends are um have that or are on the

116
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:49,000
Speaker 1: autism spectrum. And I've always connected with people very quickly

117
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:52,039
Speaker 1: who have like a little bit of a quirk or

118
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:54,920
Speaker 1: you know, are just an artist or just something that

119
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 1: other people consider quote unquote weird, even though none of

120
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:01,520
Speaker 1: those things are weird. But I found, like, you know,

121
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 1: I'm just really comfortable around people who just get to

122
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:09,040
Speaker 1: the fucking point, you know, Like it's the the tacit

123
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:12,640
Speaker 1: rules of social interactions where you're not supposed to do

124
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 1: this and you're not supposed to do that, and none

125
00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:17,680
Speaker 1: of it makes any sense to me. Honestly. The whole

126
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:22,680
Speaker 1: concept of white lies to protect social norms really stresses

127
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 1: me out, Like I don't think I'm capable of it,

128
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:27,760
Speaker 1: and I try really hard, and I think that's why

129
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 1: I like I've historically gotten along really well with autistic

130
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:33,560
Speaker 1: people because I'm not offended by bluntness, and I think

131
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:36,480
Speaker 1: that's a huge characteristic of being on the spectrum. And

132
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:39,640
Speaker 1: then like they're not offended by bluntness. It's just like

133
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:43,280
Speaker 1: I don't think I'm harsh. I think i'm efficient. I

134
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:45,640
Speaker 1: think I say exactly as on my mind, and it's

135
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:48,000
Speaker 1: not in a like, oh, here's my unsolicit opinion about

136
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:51,440
Speaker 1: your life way and your personal choices. It's like in

137
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:55,520
Speaker 1: a I'm not going to waste any words, because why

138
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:58,240
Speaker 1: would I waste our time like that my time, your time.

139
00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:02,160
Speaker 1: I respect both and just trying to like make my

140
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:05,360
Speaker 1: language more flowery to deliver something that someone might perceive

141
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:10,320
Speaker 1: its harsh. It's really exhausting, it's really hard, and I

142
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:11,920
Speaker 1: just don't The thing is, I just don't know what

143
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 1: I'm doing it, and so like just coming in hot

144
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:20,360
Speaker 1: with some real old fashioned black and white communication. People

145
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:23,240
Speaker 1: think that's too much, but really I'm like, well, what

146
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:26,000
Speaker 1: I think is too much is beating around the goddamn

147
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:28,760
Speaker 1: bush for three hours and like making me listen to

148
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:30,680
Speaker 1: a bunch of stuff that's irrelevant to what you're trying

149
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:34,400
Speaker 1: to say. And also when people say something but they

150
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 1: want you to immediately know that they meant something different,

151
00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:41,320
Speaker 1: what the heck is that? What is that? It's like, well,

152
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:43,120
Speaker 1: you should have known that I meant this. It's like, no,

153
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 1: I should have No. I don't think that it has

154
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 1: ever crime to take something that somebody says at face value.

155
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:51,880
Speaker 1: It is your responsibility to communicate your needs and your

156
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:53,920
Speaker 1: feelings that if you can't say them out loud, then

157
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:56,760
Speaker 1: there's probably something wrong with your needs and your feelings. Girls,

158
00:08:56,760 --> 00:09:00,800
Speaker 1: he wouldn't feel so weird about it, right. Obviously that's

159
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:03,840
Speaker 1: not a universal statement, but I do feel like it

160
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:08,280
Speaker 1: applies very frequently. And yeah, so I've I've always been

161
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:12,080
Speaker 1: told that I'm too much. Because of that, I've as

162
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:13,680
Speaker 1: much as I've had friends that I feel like I

163
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:16,320
Speaker 1: can be comfortable doing that around. I've also had friends

164
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:22,440
Speaker 1: in my past who were constantly, like just threatened by

165
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:26,000
Speaker 1: my very existence, and that's not a healthy friendship to have.

166
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:31,079
Speaker 1: For self explanatory reasons. Um, but when we come back,

167
00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 1: I'm going to talk about one of the saddest times,

168
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:36,319
Speaker 1: I had a friend telling me that I was too much,

169
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 1: and yeah, I agree with that. Okay, we are back

170
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:54,960
Speaker 1: on too much to say and talking about being too much,

171
00:09:55,800 --> 00:10:00,400
Speaker 1: overwhelming people with your individuality, with your confidence in their intensity.

172
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:04,600
Speaker 1: And I had a friend and I used to attract

173
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:07,680
Speaker 1: these people a lot um and I would just find

174
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:10,480
Speaker 1: like they were constantly trying to make me less and

175
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:15,920
Speaker 1: I would try to like compete with me in social situations.

176
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:18,840
Speaker 1: And I didn't really see it as that until I

177
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:22,160
Speaker 1: got older and until I went to therapy, And honestly,

178
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:26,719
Speaker 1: I feel like my romantic relationships have been, you know, difficult,

179
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:29,760
Speaker 1: but nothing is nothing can hurt me quite like a friend,

180
00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 1: because you don't assume you're going to break up, you

181
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:36,880
Speaker 1: don't like question it, you don't wonder if they're going

182
00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:38,560
Speaker 1: to break up with you. You're just like, okay, cool

183
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:40,960
Speaker 1: for best friends forever. It's a lot easier to say

184
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:42,760
Speaker 1: that than it is to say, like, I'm gonna date

185
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:46,360
Speaker 1: you forever. But like, I've met people and been friends

186
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:48,320
Speaker 1: with them and immediately been like best friends forever, and

187
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:50,880
Speaker 1: you would not do that in a relationship like Candy

188
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:53,160
Speaker 1: and I became friends because Candy literally just walked up

189
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:54,800
Speaker 1: to me and was like after we played songs E

190
00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:56,880
Speaker 1: for dants together and was like, hey, like do you

191
00:10:56,920 --> 00:10:58,440
Speaker 1: want me friends? And I was like yeah, for sure,

192
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:03,080
Speaker 1: and then like here we and I think that's beautiful.

193
00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:09,000
Speaker 1: But my more complex really friendships have really like left

194
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:12,360
Speaker 1: me feeling so insecure and so down on myself. And

195
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:14,439
Speaker 1: that's what I've had to spend a lot of therapy

196
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:18,199
Speaker 1: dealing with was my family and my friendships versus ex boyfriends,

197
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:22,000
Speaker 1: because that feels easy for me to understand. It's like, Okay,

198
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:23,720
Speaker 1: we don't you didn't like me anyone, that's where we

199
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:27,200
Speaker 1: broke up. Or you are insecure and needed to end

200
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:29,760
Speaker 1: the relationship but couldn't do it without cheating on me,

201
00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:33,040
Speaker 1: and you have to do that in order to get out. Okay, fine,

202
00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:37,920
Speaker 1: easy to understand. Not cool, but easy to understand. So

203
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:41,600
Speaker 1: with this one friend, um, it would be little things. Um.

204
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:45,320
Speaker 1: We worked together a lot and I I loved working

205
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:47,079
Speaker 1: with them, and I still get kind of sad thinking

206
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:49,920
Speaker 1: about it because I missed that creativity I got to have.

207
00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:53,440
Speaker 1: And there's a Dolly Parton song It's like you can't

208
00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:57,880
Speaker 1: make old friends and that's so true. You can't. You can't.

209
00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:01,080
Speaker 1: And so that was hard, like losing the friendship just

210
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:04,280
Speaker 1: because I wanted an old friend as I was going

211
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:06,720
Speaker 1: through these like really rough things that inspired up in book.

212
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:09,439
Speaker 1: But the friend was gone. And I think it was

213
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:12,599
Speaker 1: a slow burn leading up to that point, but I

214
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:15,480
Speaker 1: didn't necessarily see it because I just was taking things

215
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:17,640
Speaker 1: at face value. But there was so much to see

216
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 1: between the lines. And there was a time that this

217
00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:27,240
Speaker 1: friend and I, um we had. I was releasing a

218
00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:31,160
Speaker 1: song that I wrote with them, and they were releasing

219
00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:34,439
Speaker 1: a song around the same time, and they knew that

220
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:36,280
Speaker 1: our song we wrote together was coming out, and I

221
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:38,760
Speaker 1: was like, I would be so excited, Like I just

222
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:41,000
Speaker 1: think that would be awesome. I don't know, I don't know.

223
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:43,040
Speaker 1: I was like really pumped to have written the song

224
00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:45,440
Speaker 1: with my friend and how it coming out, and we

225
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:47,120
Speaker 1: both knew we were have them coming up like the

226
00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:48,800
Speaker 1: same month. I was trying to figure out my release

227
00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:50,600
Speaker 1: date and I had to move it because I got

228
00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:52,800
Speaker 1: a really big radio premiere that I had to take

229
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:54,240
Speaker 1: them up on and that was the only day they

230
00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:55,959
Speaker 1: could do it. And you don't get to be like, oh,

231
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:59,679
Speaker 1: never mind, sorry, huge radio conglomerate, Um, we have to

232
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:01,400
Speaker 1: pick a different day because my friend has a song

233
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:04,000
Speaker 1: coming out that day, And trutually, I didn't even think

234
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:05,199
Speaker 1: about it because I was like, oh my god, that's

235
00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:07,040
Speaker 1: gonna be so cool, like they have their single coming

236
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:08,920
Speaker 1: out and a song they wrote with me coming out

237
00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:13,080
Speaker 1: on the same day, Like how freaking fun. Right, Well,

238
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:16,160
Speaker 1: they did not feel the same way, and I kind

239
00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:18,440
Speaker 1: of had a pit in my stomach feeling like it

240
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:21,400
Speaker 1: was going to be contentious when I told them, But

241
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:23,360
Speaker 1: I was like, I mean, I knew it shouldn't be,

242
00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:25,240
Speaker 1: but I did also know that I was like kind

243
00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:27,520
Speaker 1: of a little bit afraid of this friend and walked

244
00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:30,640
Speaker 1: on eggshells around them because there were so like many

245
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:36,000
Speaker 1: tacent rules to like dodge and all of that. And

246
00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:38,720
Speaker 1: I remember telling them like, hey, by the way, like

247
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:41,600
Speaker 1: we had to change the release date because we got

248
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:44,080
Speaker 1: this huge premiere, like is not so exciting it's our song,

249
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:47,200
Speaker 1: like it's going to be on the radio. And they

250
00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:49,920
Speaker 1: didn't talk to me for a week and made it

251
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:52,160
Speaker 1: very clear the reason why they didn't talk to me

252
00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:56,319
Speaker 1: for a week, and it was because like they're like, well,

253
00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:58,320
Speaker 1: I just feel like you're you're stealing my spotlight and

254
00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:00,120
Speaker 1: you're taking my day away from me, and like I

255
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:02,600
Speaker 1: really wanted that day to be about me and my song,

256
00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:04,439
Speaker 1: and I was like, well, it's about you and both

257
00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:06,559
Speaker 1: your songs, like you know, and I don't think it

258
00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:09,520
Speaker 1: impedes on anything, Like, if anything, I thought it would

259
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:11,000
Speaker 1: be really cute. We can have like a little party

260
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:14,720
Speaker 1: together and be like happy release day. But this friend

261
00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:19,640
Speaker 1: was always really threatened by um other other girls in

262
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:21,800
Speaker 1: the music industry. I think I think that's been a

263
00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:25,360
Speaker 1: recurring problem for them. And yeah, it was just a

264
00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:29,120
Speaker 1: huge bomber and it totally like took the fun out

265
00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:31,800
Speaker 1: of the release for me because I was so sad

266
00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:34,200
Speaker 1: that I was making my friend like hurting my friend's

267
00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:38,040
Speaker 1: feelings and like I wasn't able to like fully be

268
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:42,280
Speaker 1: present for the release. And they got over it, or

269
00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:44,360
Speaker 1: maybe didn't, but they made it seem like they got

270
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:48,200
Speaker 1: over it. And then there was a time that I

271
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:51,320
Speaker 1: was making my opera debut and we were um I

272
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:53,120
Speaker 1: was playing a song that we wrote together, which I

273
00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:55,960
Speaker 1: was so excited and I've gotten to be at the

274
00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:58,720
Speaker 1: opery when Mickey Guyton sang a song that we wrote

275
00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:00,960
Speaker 1: together and it was like the cool thing ever, Like

276
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:03,200
Speaker 1: I love when my songs have lives through other people,

277
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:06,280
Speaker 1: and it was so special and like I just was

278
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:09,200
Speaker 1: like there to see Mickey doer thing. But when I

279
00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:12,480
Speaker 1: made my opera debut, you only get like a certain

280
00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:14,240
Speaker 1: amount of tickets, like I think you get like ten

281
00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:18,760
Speaker 1: discounted tickets and ten people backstage, which sounds like a lot,

282
00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:21,200
Speaker 1: but it stacks up really quickly because I had my

283
00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:23,440
Speaker 1: two musicians, so that's two people who played with me,

284
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:28,280
Speaker 1: and then I had, um, you know, my manager, my videographer,

285
00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:34,000
Speaker 1: my other manager, my publicist, his assistant, my agent, I

286
00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:38,160
Speaker 1: think my other agent came, and my publisher. So that's

287
00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:40,760
Speaker 1: ten people already. And I think they even bent the

288
00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:42,600
Speaker 1: roles and let's have some extra people. But my friends

289
00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:44,760
Speaker 1: had to be in the audience, and like it wasn't

290
00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:46,280
Speaker 1: always going to be like that, Like I was going

291
00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:48,240
Speaker 1: to play the opery. I mean I played at like

292
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:50,120
Speaker 1: twenty five times at this point, so there were many

293
00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:52,680
Speaker 1: other times that I could bring people with me, but

294
00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:55,240
Speaker 1: the first time like had to be it was it

295
00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:57,880
Speaker 1: was very work related. It was fun, but it was

296
00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:00,000
Speaker 1: like a celebration for me and my team. It was

297
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:04,800
Speaker 1: necessarily a party with my friends backstage, um, and they

298
00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:09,040
Speaker 1: were like really really upset that they weren't backstage, and

299
00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:14,360
Speaker 1: they were really upset that, like they weren't close to

300
00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:17,680
Speaker 1: the stage, and I felt like I wasn't giving them

301
00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:20,359
Speaker 1: enough attention that night, and I had a party afterwards

302
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:23,040
Speaker 1: because there's a David Busters across the street from the opery,

303
00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:25,160
Speaker 1: so it was like really special and oh and my

304
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:27,440
Speaker 1: mom was there, like my family came in and like

305
00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:29,440
Speaker 1: that never happens for me, so that was like a

306
00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:32,280
Speaker 1: really big deal. And they just felt like I'd been

307
00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:35,280
Speaker 1: like blowing them off, and I was like, well, I mean,

308
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:37,760
Speaker 1: I just I'm not I just you're my You're my

309
00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:39,200
Speaker 1: best friend. You know I love you. You You know that

310
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:42,560
Speaker 1: this is cool, but there's so many people to balance,

311
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:47,360
Speaker 1: and they just felt like I was being like sucking

312
00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:49,600
Speaker 1: the air out of the room and needing to be

313
00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:52,600
Speaker 1: a diva and not being able to acknowledge them, which

314
00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:57,440
Speaker 1: is like so incorrect, and it just made me feel

315
00:16:57,560 --> 00:16:59,800
Speaker 1: so bad, and like at the time, I was like, oh,

316
00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:02,040
Speaker 1: my on, I'm a horrible friend. Like I wasn't like, oh,

317
00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:05,560
Speaker 1: you're asking unrealistic things for me, and actually it feels

318
00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:07,320
Speaker 1: like you're trying to suck the air out of the room.

319
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:09,800
Speaker 1: I was just like, wow, I'm a horrible friend. This sucks.

320
00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:14,600
Speaker 1: And as time has gone on, I've been like able

321
00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:17,240
Speaker 1: to and I still work on it because I've had

322
00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:19,520
Speaker 1: a lot of times, especially in the past year and

323
00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:21,680
Speaker 1: a half, like, as I've gone through some really hard

324
00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:28,320
Speaker 1: friendship losses, I've been so insecure and questioned myself in

325
00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:32,080
Speaker 1: social settings and felt like I don't know what I'm doing,

326
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:35,120
Speaker 1: and then I'm just like flailing about and everyone can

327
00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:37,240
Speaker 1: tell how awkward I am accept me and that I

328
00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:39,359
Speaker 1: have no self awareness, which is like my deepest fear,

329
00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:42,600
Speaker 1: because there's nothing worse than being a completely different human

330
00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:45,000
Speaker 1: than you think you are. Like that stresses me out

331
00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:48,240
Speaker 1: so much, and so I actually think I have pretty

332
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:50,880
Speaker 1: good self awareness. But even as I'm saying these things

333
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:52,960
Speaker 1: and I kind of know them, I'm still doubting myself.

334
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:57,560
Speaker 1: I'm like, no, you don't, and it's just been a

335
00:17:57,560 --> 00:18:02,600
Speaker 1: difficult process to be fully my elf. But I'm also like, Okay,

336
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:05,320
Speaker 1: I don't work in a cubicle and I don't have

337
00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:07,639
Speaker 1: a boss who needs me to dress the same as

338
00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:09,719
Speaker 1: everybody else. And I've had those jobs and all that

339
00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:12,119
Speaker 1: like I'm like, I'm an artist, and I, to some

340
00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:16,520
Speaker 1: extent get to do whatever the funk I want in

341
00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:19,159
Speaker 1: certain areas of my life, and so why would I

342
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:22,560
Speaker 1: conform to somebody else's expectation to me when I have

343
00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:26,040
Speaker 1: the freedom in the way that my life is set

344
00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:28,400
Speaker 1: up and the way my life functions to be completely

345
00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:34,840
Speaker 1: myself and I am no longer going to entertain thoughts

346
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:41,080
Speaker 1: about being too intense or being too loud, or talking

347
00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:45,840
Speaker 1: too much, or you know, just acting like myself. And

348
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:49,359
Speaker 1: my friends know those traits about me, and clearly it

349
00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:52,320
Speaker 1: doesn't bother them because they're still around. The ones who

350
00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:56,280
Speaker 1: couldn't handle it are gone. Um, And I care so

351
00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:58,920
Speaker 1: deeply about people, and I really love being around them

352
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:00,760
Speaker 1: and I love getting to know them. And I don't

353
00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:03,639
Speaker 1: like how I feel when I'm socially anxious, Like I

354
00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:05,520
Speaker 1: really hate it because it doesn't feel like me and

355
00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:06,960
Speaker 1: it doesn't feel like the core of who I am.

356
00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:10,080
Speaker 1: So I'm working on that, and may we all feel

357
00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:13,000
Speaker 1: more comfortable taking up space in the world and being

358
00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:16,760
Speaker 1: our fullest selves, but also you know, knowing when to

359
00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:19,640
Speaker 1: tone it down and like let things be about other people.

360
00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:22,879
Speaker 1: I think there's also a balance there. But thank you

361
00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:24,480
Speaker 1: so much for listening. This is too much to say.
