I don’t feel guilty per se but as someone who literally hates pop music and thinks that it’s like an evil institution to replace real culture in society with mindless mass market consumerist trash using pop stars as commodity figureheads… I have a huge soft spot for Britney Spearsā€˜s music. Long before Free Britney I really identified with her struggles and her profound suffering and her music got me through one of the toughest times of my life. This and Not a Girl, Not Yet a Woman were huge for me but I’m frankly very familiar with her entire catalogue. I am rooting for her always she is my Marilyn Monroe and my everything (Marilyn Monroe is also my Marilyn Monroe… I have a thing for beautiful women who have suffered a lot…) Stronger than yesterday Now it's nothing but my way My loneliness ain't killing me no more

I have never in my life been a country music girl ā„¢ļø and I don’t say this to be not like other Spotify listeners ā„¢ļø but more in the sense that I’ve never felt the thrill from pop, the emotion from r&b, the spectrum of emotions from rap, the nostalgic cringe of jukebox theater and the pain/suffering/heart escaping from your chest from theater!! (Of course I’m a drama club person could you not tell!!! ) This is not to say I’m discounting it at all bc these artists are brilliant and talented and gifted!! however we now find ourselves at a fork in the road bc Mrs BeyoncĆ© Giselle Knowles-Carter has me lacing up my boots and affixing my spurs and saddling up into Renaissance II!! Could not be happier and more honored to exist at the same time as her <3

ā€œLife shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage.ā€ — AnaĆÆs Nin This is uncharacteristically raw and personal, even for me, and pretty heavy! I know many of you have seen me posting through it and I feel safe to talk about it openly now that I’ve safely landed at the start of my new life. It’s honestly even a little bit embarrassing but I think it’s important to share. I’ve never publicly mentioned it on here, but I have a husband; as of Friday, we’d have been together for 11 years, and we’ve been married for 3 years as of 2/22. I realize now that I wanted to explore what I looked like outside of my relationship with him because I had lost that. This is why PI.FYI has been so meaningful to me as a space to express myself and connect with people—to rediscover my voice. I had been living a lie this entire time, to others but worst of all to myself. He’s been verbally and emotionally abusive, physically but without touching me, to the point that every day I spent with him I was in danger. I’ve been shrinking myself and walking on eggshells to avoid making him insecure and provoking his casual put-downs and fits of rage, while hanging on for dear life to the threads of good I could see. I’ve wanted so badly to leave, more than anything, but I felt like there was no way out and that this was just something I would need to endure indefinitely—but someone who is so very dear to me helped me see that I have wings to fly, not by acting as my savior but by reminding me of my own power. The emotional safety they built and the gentle care they showed me made me feel like I could open up to them. With their encouragement I was brave enough to tell the truth to my friends, my family, my boss, and they have received me with warm, loving and open arms and rallied to support and protect me. The financial andĀ  logistical aspects were the most intimidating to me and it’s going to be tough for a while but I’m going to be better than okay! Now I’m opening up to you. This isn’t the only abuse I’ve suffered in my life, and my old therapist told me she believed it was my mission to share my strength and light with others to inspire them and show them that change is possible. I hope that by sharing this, I can reach even just one person who is going through something similar and show that they are not alone, and they are not weak. People with certain backgrounds may be more vulnerable to abuse, but it can happen to anyone. It thrives in darkness, shame, and isolation—and breaking that silence is the first step toward freedom. Leaving is the scariest thing I have ever done but I have so many angels around me, and I am endlessly grateful. Thank you for being here with me šŸ’Œ

My dad teases me about how when I was a little kid, my favorite thing to do when I was on the landline phone with somebody—be it a relative or one of my best friends—was to breathlessly describe the things that were in my bedroom so that they could have a mental picture of everything I loved and chose to surround myself with, and where I sat at that moment in time. Perfectly Imperfect reminds me of that so thanks for always listening and for sharing with me too šŸ’Œ
