I've always felt like an outsider across the board, since day one. The challenge has been to simply not pay attention to my outsider or insider status and just do the work and play the shows and connect with the people.

When you're afraid of someone's judgment, you can't connect with them. You're too preoccupied with the task of impressing them.
Amanda Palmer
Image
You're not going to be perfect, you're not going to stop berating yourself, you're not going to stop the comparisons, you're not going to stop the judgment, but you can become evermore mindful of it, and that has to be good enough.

Twitter fascinates me because it's real. It feels kind of unreal, but it makes very real things happen.
