full, clearer confession:
I started listening to Tori around the age of 13. I was diagnosed as having Aspergers so I was always teased and bullied for being different her music gave me [and still does] the voice I needed to survive daily life and cannot thank her enough for that. Somehow I feel as if she is one of my best friends and her songs are our little conversations to help me out when things get bad in life. I am forever grateful for her talents she shares with the world.

CONTEST CONFESSION TEXT CHOICES:
“I’ve always wondered what little fascist panties looked like.”
OR
“I listened to it over and over on the night that I tried to kill myself. I’ve ruined 1000 Oceans for myself. I loved that song.”
OR
“I can imagine Tori covered in white roses
With one blue rose near an ear
The bats are nearby
And a giant light house
With an American flag dropping down to the sea
I don’t have a clue what this would mean?”

Thank you and best of luck to all the participants! We can’t wait to meet our new team member!

full confession:
“I discovered Tori Amos’ through A Sorta Fairytale. It truly was a fairytale. It was the one song I listened to a lot that summer before my attempted suicide. Post-suicide one morning I was feeling empty and completely lost and I was looking through some Vincent Van Gogh pictures and I hear Don McLean’s Vincent in the background, hours later I found Tori’s cover of the same song and I cried so much that day. It was almost like a breakthrough and ever since then, three years ago I have been rebuilding my very own self through and with Tori. With each and every album of Tori Amos I find another piece of me. Currently being in love with Boys for Pele. I guess you could say I’m in an angry, hurt phase, but it’s almost just as effective as valium mixed with whiskey. It’s a true Healing process and I’m getting there, step by step. Boys for Pele sucks me deep and I don’t feel like meat at all! In fact, I feel blood roses grow in my body with each and every passing day as I become the person of my dreams. (Always in debt to the wonderful Tori Amos!)”
