GOLDEN BABY

"Your pain is no credential here, it's just the shadow, shadow of my wound."

I’m sorry. I’m not one to go look at what kind of comments people like to leave on my youtube videos, but tonight I was enjoying looking at live versions of my songs because I have to go tour again and I think I have forgotten how to do some of them properly…and while on the Woods and Wires sesh video, I saw this.
Everything is wrong with this. Especially if he literally meant what he wrote. Not the tattoo thing, not really caring about that, that’s just petty nonsense, but as far as saying that one would go as far as self harm is another story, friends. 
I get people saying that I’m either fat, or have a bad voice, or whatever. To be honest, that gets to me once a month and it’s usually in my woman’s time of the month, so I get sensitive like EVERY human being out there. But as far as death threats, violence and intimidation goes? I can’t forgive. That just makes me lose it. Especially on THE INTERNET.
If anybody does this to you via Facebook, Twitter, e-mail, school, anything…just go to the source. Tell someone about it. I lived my first year of elementary school sitting next to the bus driver’s trash can on my ride to school every morning because if I was sitting on the seats with the other kids in the bus, well, I was getting my hair pulled or spit on. I told my parents like, years later, and I’m pretty sure it has left some deep deep scars (like an attraction to the first seats available in a bus when I ride them, or something).
I feel much better now.

  16. artistwithpride said: J’adore. You are an amazing musician, and beautiful person. People who can’t see that should learn to keep quite. Stay strong, you have all of us, who clearly see what a wonderful girl you truly are.
  17. gravest-words said: That guy is clearly a middle-aged douche bag who has ABSOLUTELY nothing better to do but sit on youtube (of all the things) and leave stupid comments. He’s just upset becauce his wife left him and now all he has is weird beastiality porn to look at.
  18. almost-killed-me said: What a nut job, you’re more than fine the way you are.

  22. wildtohold said: You are beautiful and talented and we all love you!
  23. shadowpuppeteer said: Well I think you are gorgeous, tattoos and voice, body and soul! I don’t speak french, and I still love your music, so that goes to show just how “world-famous” you are. Music is a universal language, and you speak it beautifully! :)
  24. trementine said: I know how difficult could be those comments, I admire you for being strong and such an awesome singer, just go ahead you’re really talented (: and don’t let yourself down for anything <3
  25. unfuckwithable said: YouTube comments are like the sewer of the internet. I always skip them, especially if the video is in any way about a Quebecer because there’s always so much vitriol. It’s too nasty. You’re a great artist - don’t ever change. xo
