"I've Been In The Public Eye Since I Was 15 Years Old. On The Beautiful, Lovely Side Of That, I've Been

"I've been in the public eye since I was 15 years old. On the beautiful, lovely side of that, I've been so lucky to make music for living and look out into crowds of loving, vibrant people. On the other side of the coin, my mistakes have been used against me, my heartbreaks have been used as entertainment, and my songwriting has been trivialized as 'oversharing'."

I speak too fast and this will certainly help me with being less awkward in convos ._.

Do you think you speak too fast/ too slow?

Here is what I learned from a speech coach.

warm up:

start this exercise by taking a deep breath and saying “aaaaah” - try to extend this to 30 seconds. Now if it doesn’t go till 30, that’s fine. Aim to work your way to that. If you can work it up to 30, go for 45/60 seconds. Do this 5 times.

next. Download an app called Metronome beats. It’s basically what singers/ musicians use for beats.

Settings: keep beats/bar as 1,

clicks/beats as 1

start at 90. It will start with a click sound and continue “beeping.”

Match your words to the beep. One beep = one word. Now slowly, increase the beat by 5 till you reach 110. Increase it at your own pace but try to spend at least 20 seconds on each number (90 for 20 seconds; 95 for 20; 100 for 20….) That’s when you stop.

either start by reading something out loud and matching the beat, or select a topic and speak freely.

do this every single day. This will help with your breath, if you’re speaking on a topic it will help you think better and improve over time. The best way to further complement this exercise is to improve your vocabulary. Try to learn 1-3 new words a day and incorporate it in your vocabulary.

This is a great tool to use when learning new languages too. You can practice your speaking skills and see how fast you can remember/ read words.

be as kind and cute as hello kitty, be as hard-working and compassionate as hello kitty 🎀🤍

Study Tips for Students like Me & You

Organize your time if it's not a distraction. Planners are meant to help you and get work done, not procrastinate by planning.

Get all the jitters out before studying, addressing all of your concerns so you enter with a clear, determined mind.

Eliminate distractions when possible, or filter out the distractions with music!

Create mini-goals to make the daunting tasks more simple and less scary to complete.

Step away if you get too frustrated with a concept or don't understand it. Come back to it when you have energy and tolerance.

Know how to balance your hobbies with your responsibilities, allowing you to avoid burnout for much longer.

If studying a weak point, remind yourself it's okay, and no matter the outcome, you're going to go down with the ship trying and fighting.

Be realistic and optimistic. Don't procrastinate too much when you think you have more time than necessary.

If you are doing last-minute studying, acknowledge the possibility that you might not do as well, but don't lose hope as any amount of studying always counts!

Create one big goal to help motivate you for your little goals. My grand goal is to one day earn a PhD.

thank you 🫡

just found out the Rep Tour movie is being removed from netflix :(

lovely little possibilities

my adorable three little lilies

teddy bears on the stand

fairies being little sillies

waiting for you to understand

silk ribbons dangled

skirts alongside the horizon

velvet pearls

braids shaped into the story of the time

lipstick to sharpen the hyphen

looking dashing in crisis

bubbles floating

roller blades

our cherry charades

vampire cocktails

the twisted flower trails

your adorable little charm

the blush as I lean and hold your arm

a few characters that remind me of cotton candy hehe:
