Happy 27th birthday to my music career. I have had some very high highs and some very low lows but generally just suck way less than I used to, which is cool.

Thank you to everyone who has made me look hot and sound cute over these decades of doing whatever this has been or will someday become.

I probably love you much more than you realize.

I wrote SOFTCORE as something of a manifesto to myself about what I will and will not tolerate from men moving forward, as well as how I will or will not allow myself to react to the troubles of life relating to people in general.

The process of creating the album and film was really transformative in that way. It left me with a resolve around staying soft and open to finding love, while also shortening the runway and accommodations I provide for unkindness and indecision.

I went on a date last week — the first since calling off the wedding and flying solo again. It was nice. He was kind. I believe that is the bar now.
