Kimya Dawson

I am really inspired by Kimya Dawson. Her solo albums are just so amazing. I'm listening to them on repeat. Along with her other bands like Moldy Peaches and Antsy Pants. I love how she collaborates so much and that a lot of her songs are recorded very in a lofi way. Song of her songs sound childish in content but she can cover some pretty disturbing topics like bereavement and depression. She seems to have a way of singing like she's "been there". 

I feel like she just does what she loves and loves what she does. She is an artist without a full stop. She is whatever she wants to be at that given time. I truly respect that.

You must have so much drive and determination to just break from the norm. 

She puts in one of her songs that she likes to be on the road, that she's a bit nomadic. I like that because I can relate to it. I never really feel like I'm at home. I don't feel settled ever and it has been something that worries me. Maybe I should see it as a good thing?

Maybe it's ok not to have a home, I mean bricks and mortar are just that. 

Sometimes I think I get down because I cant understand why I'm not "normal". The thing is, these are the things that I would say as advice to others, yet can never take myself. 

I'm nearly 25 years old. I still have fears and demons that I have only just started to deal with. At least I'm dealing with them. I feel so much better now. Still a little scared of getting "out there". The first step is the hardest.
