I just wanted to take this time to thank you guys for the incredible and breath-taking support you have given to me for this album and its singles.
You managed to get the Skyscraper single to #1 when it was practically still a fetus, and now look at the success that Unbroken has become! It was all FOR AND BECAUSE of YOU guys!!!
I could not have came this far without you. How much I have recovered was ALL because of you. I recovered so fast. Without you… I would not be here today and I don’t mean not a success, I wouldn’t be alive. Honestly, that is not an exaggeration.
You don’t have any idea how much you have helped me and how much you mean to me because of this, all of you.
I am forever in your debt.
‘For the Love of a Daughter’ (track 14) was written a few years back. I didn’t release it to Here We Go Again because it was too mature for my then-fan base, but we’ve grown together now and I thought we had matured. I was finally ready to let the most personal song I have ever written out into the public.
I love you. Stay strong.

Just thought I would give you all a little gift :)
Band of the week : The Cab
So, words cannot explain the undying love I have for this band. Not only are they some of my best friends in the entire world, but I lived with them for two months on a tour bus on the Warped Tour last summer. That’s CLOSE QUARTERS, people. Usually being around a group of smelly boys 24 hours a day makes you want to kill yourself. But this wasn’t the case with The Cab. I know these boys inside and out, and they are, without a doubt, the most hardworking, passionate, and talented individuals I have ever had the pleasure of calling my brothers. Instead of partying every night like everyone else (yup, I’m guilty of that), they would be in the back lounge of their bus, writing and writing and writing for hours on end. And I would come back and just observe their creative process all night. I would be a little fly on the wall, analyzing the interaction and collaboration between the guys. I was present when most of the record was written, and that’s a really special feeling for me. We would constantly BEG the boys to play the songs every day. We were seriously their biggest fans.
And all of their incredible work paid off. Their new record, Symphony Soldier is flawless. Every song belongs on top 40 radio. Every song is THE perfect pop song. And with this being said, every song is distinct, complex, and has it’s own voice. It hit number 6 on the iTunes charts its debut week. Oh, and did I mention that they are UNSIGNED? Suck on that, conventional music industry!
I always thought I had to be skinny, beautiful, and my self esteem was really low during that time. I was always being put down because of my weight and the way I look. It didn’t please others, and I guess I was really trying to please people, and it only messed me up. So, a few months after, I finally woke up and smelt the roses, and realized that not everyone is going to like me, I had to be happy with myself, so I signed myself in to the treatment center. It was a terrifying experience, but I did it for myself, and for my fans, I didn’t want to disappoint anyone else. I was hurting everyone during that time. It also had a lot to do with PEER PRESSURE and TEMPTATION, those are dangerous things, and I advise everyone to stay as far away from it as much as possible. God has a plan for everyone, and the plan he had for me, saved me. Or well, made me save myself. God is good.
Also, I’ve been getting judged a lot more for who I am and what I’ve done, you don’t know me like that. Those who judge me, don’t know the first thing about me. Judging a person does not show the type of person they are, it shows who YOU are.
I want my fans to know that you need to always stay strong, and I’ll always be confident, and I’ll stay true no matter what. There is always going to be people who don’t like you, and want to bring you down, DO NOT let them win! Don’t forget that you can overcome anything, and everything.
If you guys need any advice, or someone to talk to because you are going through a rough time, you can always talk to me, I’d be more than happy to help you out and to speak to you, my fans mean the world to me, and I’d like to help anyone who is going through difficult times, even if you’re not a fan of my work.
It’s really important to be aware of the people who you’re hanging out with—the people who you surround yourself with—when you’re at an age where you’re trying to figure out who you are. I think a lot of us subconsciously rely on our peers and our friends to tell us exactly who we are, because we really don’t know ourselves. So when we’re growing up, it’s a really tricky time, and we have to make sure that the people that we’re hanging out with are a positive influence on us.
We don’t realize it, but we do look to our friends for fashion advice, and to help make decisions that will affect our futures. It’s really important to remember that you are who your friends are, so if you’re hanging around a bad crowd, people will perceive you as part of that crowd.
The kinds of people that I’m surrounding myself with now are people who are beneficial not only to my recovery but also to the lifestyle that I want to have, which is peaceful and serene. I look for people who I can hang out with without relying on bad habits to have fun—people who I can go bowling with, or literally just watch TV and knit with, people who love me for me and don’t care if I’m tall or short, fat or thin. My friends today love me for me—they’re people who I can act like myself around.
Stay Strong,
