The story
I stopped apologizing for the contradiction.
An introvert who loves performing. A rule follower with a rebellious streak. Someone who craves routine but gets bored with repetition.
I spent years thinking my opposing needs meant something was wrong with me. I crave routine and novelty, order and freedom, closeness and space. My friends and family have always said, “I can’t keep up with you.”
A late AuDHD diagnosis finally gave me language for a brain I’d been fighting my whole life, and I realized I’d been doing the same thing with my music. Trying to pick a lane.
Country? Rock? Blues? Americana? Yes.
This song is where I stopped apologizing for the contradiction and started dancing with it.
Too rock for country. Too country for rock. Right where I belong.
