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.
Full Confession:
I have to admit Tori is no longer what she use to be for me. I love her still, but when I loved her and listened to her non stop, I was just surviving. Now I am thriving. I am engaged to the woman of my dreams, I have a career I love. I was listening to her the other day, and it brought so many memories of physical, sexual, and emotional abuse back.
I will forever be grateful for her, for allowing me to live and survive. Without her I never would of made it to this point in my life. I will also never regret the Tori tattoo I got. It signifies I survived.
