I found her in 2007 with her second album Little Voice and assumed she’d already won a Grammy.


Took her another thirteen years!
Which speaks more about the world / industry and their incentives.


Because she’s amazing! Pure talent! In my mind she’s a #CaroleKing / #WhitneyHouston lovechild.

What would the dark say if she could?

What I wouldn’t give
If for just one night
I could shine so you’d see me
But all I’ve ever been
Is the absence of the light
I don’t shine
No one sees me.
So won’t you?
— Sara Bareilles

“The unread story is not a story;
it is little black marks on wood pulp.
The reader, reading it, makes it live: a live thing, a story.”

We are not resting to be productive.
We are resting simply because it is our divine right to do so.

Scared is what you’re feeling.
Brave is what you’re doing.

A good book gets better at the second reading.
A great book at the third.
Any book not worth rereading isn’t worth reading.
