Hey, do me a favor and excuse my raspy voice today. I know it's sexy. I know it's mysterious. I know it's distracting. But I went to the Sabrina Carpenter concert last night. I sang my heart out and now my vocal cords are fatigued. I hope you can understand. I mean, to go to the Sabrina Carpenter concert and sing your heart out is to be human. That's all I have to say.
If you go to the Sabrina Carpenter concert and you don't sing your heart out, you might be an alien. You might be a reptile. I don't know. Go get it tested. There's something wrong. Go get that checked out. If you wanted a test to see if I was human, my voice is raspy the day after the Sabrina Carpenter concert because I sang. Because that is what humans do.
Anywho, so my voice is raspy, and it's kind of fun because I haven't lost my voice in a while. I've been a bit more chill in my lifestyle recently. I tend to lose my voice more when I'm more of a party girl going out more, and I just haven't been recently. So my voice has been really solid. My vocal cords have been really solid. But Sabrina Carpenter, demolish them. Please, please, please.
demolish them. And now my voice is raspy. But anyway, let's make a really big pivot here. Okay. I'm about to, I don't know how to transition to the next part of my conversation. So we're just going to do a really strong pivot.

So let's say for the first five years, my relationship with Los Angeles had many ups and downs. You know, when I first moved to Los Angeles, I loved it because it was new and exciting and I was making new friends. The city itself was this symbol of freedom and independence and also a huge milestone in my career. So it was very exciting and positive. But very quickly, things got complicated.
And my relationship to the city of Los Angeles changed a little bit. I started to see the negative sides of the city. Now, I think some of that was accurate because as with all cities, as with all things, there's negatives. But I think a big part of my perception of Los Angeles was skewed by the industry that I'm in that is based here in Los Angeles.
And I started to see the negative sides of this industry, which also sort of skewed the way that I perceived the city. And so for many years, I struggled with that. But I was here because for career purposes, it seemed like unthinkable to leave. And, you know, a lot of people around me at that time also didn't love Los Angeles.
And we were all very immature, in my opinion, and wanted to be punks and wanted to hate everything. And You know, it's part of being a teenager, young adult, like, rebelling against shit and hating stuff and wanting to be different. And all of that led to me hating Los Angeles.
