Getting a record deal at 14. Making two albums. Going on
tour for four years. Being home-schooled all of highschool. Living the dream as
most people say. That was the last six years of my life. But about a year and a
half ago I met a boy. On the rooftop of a 21st birthday party. I
remember every detail of the night in my mind. I was just 19 years old at the
time, still living in Nashville with my family. I was out in LA for my best
friends birthday party on the rooftop of the London. The air was crisp and cold
and the I could see the stars for miles. I never understood the expression "Love
at First sight" until this very night. I fell so hard for this boy. We started
dating immediately, and I ended up moving to LA almost three months after
meeting him. I told myself I was moving for my career, but really I moved for
him. I was head over heels, thinking I was going to marry this guy. SO CRAZY.

Last summer I would say, was the best of my life. Until
July. July is when my whole world had unraveled. My fairy tale love story had
come undone. I found out in July that the "love of my life" had been cheating
on me since the first day we started dating. He was my first and only boyfriend
so imagine the devastation I had felt. At this point, the only friends I had in
LA were his. I had no one. I was in LA all alone, by myself..
....
The next few months I was depressed not knowing who I was.
Wondering why I came out to LA in the first place. I had been going through
transitions with record labels. Trying to find a new manager. And also looking
for myself. I was so lost with everything I did. But around November things
took a turn for the better. I felt like myself again. Regained the confidence
that I had once lost. Found a new manager who was amazing. And Finally started
making happy songs again.
You always wonder why horrible things happen? I think it's because they have to make you stronger. Make you wiser. Make you a fighter. And through everything I've gone through, it had made me a strong woman.

Now it's early March and im sitting here in my condo in
Toluca Lake with the day off. Writing this letter to you all. I'm making new
music. My heart has never been so happy before. And I can say this with total
confidence, I know exactly what I want to do and accomplish in this world. I
want to be a motivational speaker for young women. I want to INSPIRE everyone
with my lyrics, and albums I will continue to put out. I want to do mission
work all over the world. And Hopefully someday down the road, adopt kids from around the world. My mission in my life is to live for God. Not for myself.
Be a light to those who need it. And be a voice for those
without one.
....
I am so thankful for my fans. I promise new music. Happy
songs, and promise to never
Be anyone but me J Thank you guys from the bottom of my
heart, I love you!
