I been me from day one, I'm not ‘bout to start acting different, talking different, treating people different, or looking different.
— Summer Walker
As you know, I have been very open about my struggle with social anxiety.
Performing gives me so much anxiety.
I don't want to lose myself for someone else.
I fart. My backstage ritual is flatulence.
I take showers, I don't like them because I like baths in very nice jacuzzi or garden tubs.
I'm just a regular person, nothing more.
At the end of the day, I'm a person. I have feelings. I get tired. I get sad.
There's a lot of people out here faking a smile on their face like they got it together but inside actually suffering from some sort of traumatic experience, a loss, depressed, fearful, envious or whatever the case may be, but I can feel it.
I would be more at peace if I could just record music and slide it under the door.
Black women I'm talking to you, because it's not white women, it's not Latino, it's not Native American - I checked, it's y'all. The self hate is ridiculous. Why do you hate yourself so much, why do you hate your texture, why do you hate your culture, why do you hate your history?
