I have this feeling like I should be thinking more about my performance than I am.

I should probably be running it over in my head.

I mean, it should probably pop into my thoughts at least ten times a day?

Twenty?

It kind of feels like there’s homework I’m ignoring, but I’m one of those burnout kids who’s completely content not doing it.

It was different for the second performance. During the first show, I went out there and hoped I’d become this whole new person. I was so discouraged when nobody else saw the new thing in me.

But last night, I don’t know, I just wasn’t concerned about starting over. I sang before Ford’s family reveal, so it’s not like I was distracted. The theme was “songs that we felt represented ourselves.” I picked “Every Single Night” by Fiona Apple. I love that song. In rehearsal, Stacy had been pretty unhappy with me.

“You can’t find the melody unless you listen to it five times,” she said. “This is not an instantly enjoyable song. And the lyrics—no, no, no, no! You’re going to sing about your breast busting open?”

“Yes,” I said.

“No. No, no, no.”

I said, “It’s about how her brain won’t ever let up. So she’s caught in a constant struggle between being sensitive to everything around her and then also being tortured by all that activity.” It really spoke to me.

Stacy just stared for a good few seconds. Then she asked, “Do you want to go home?”

I just wasn’t worried up there. I don’t know why.
