I was in the winter of my life ad the men I met along the road were my only summer. At night I fell asleep with visions of myself dancing and laughing and crying with them. Three years down the line of being on an endless world tour and my memories of them were the only things that sustained me. And my only real happy times.
ย
I was a singer. Not a very popular one. I once had dreams of becoming a beautiful poet, but upon an unfortunate series of events saw those dreams dashed and divided like a million stars in the night sky. That I wished on over and over again, sparkling and broken, but I didnโt really mind because I knew that it takes getting everything you ever wanted and then losing it to know what true freedom is.
ย
When the people I used to know found out what I had been doing, how I had been living, they asked me why? But thereโs no use in talking to people who have a home. They have no idea what its like to seek safety in other people for home to be wherever you lie your head.
ย
I was always an unusual girl. My mother told me that I had a chameleon soul. No moral compass pointing due north. No fixed personality, just an inner indecisiveness, that was as wide and as wavering as the ocean. And if I said I didnโt plan for it to turn out this way Iโd be lying.
ย
Because I was born to be the other woman, who belonged to no one. Who belonged to everyone. Who had nothing. Who wanted everything. With a fire for every experience and an obsession for freedom that terrified me to the point that I couldnโt even talk about it. And pushed me to a nomadic point of madness that both dazzled and dizzied me!
