What Ken has accomplished is so dope. His story is part of why I fell in love with him.

Sometimes I sit and listen to women talking about men and I hear things like, “He’s got to have good credit; he’s got to have this type of car; he’s got to have such and such job.” I find myself wanting to say, “Well, girl, you will never be in a relationship, because we are all flawed people who have been through certain things, Plus, those material standards you are demanding may come with hidden costs.”

Before I met Ken, I was a queen in the making. But along the way, I was also a very depressed teenager who had battled years of insecurities. Over time, I came to realize that those insecurities that I carried were rooted in trying to meet the expectations of others instead of living my life in my own rhythm. I went through the fiery furnace and came out pure as gold. Because I went through all the things I went through, I was able to see the greatness in Ken even though he was a work in progress too. I saw the king in him. Lots of people miss out on a great relationship because they are too busy trying to put together a list of perfect things. But while you are so busy looking for all that perfect stuff, great people are passing you by.

I think that one of the problems in a lot of relationships is—everybody is chasing perfection. But a part of the reason so many fans follow me is because for the most part, I’ve never tried to be something I’m not. Lots of times people say to me, “How did you make it through” this and that situation? Do you know how I sleep so well at night? Because I do not want to be perfect and I do not want to make people think I am. A lot of things are out in the media about me, but nine times out of ten I shared the information myself. I gave you the information, so you cannot hold anything over me to try to embarrass me. I am allowing myself just to be human. There are people who are stuck in the past, who want to try to keep me back in my past, not understanding that I have been long gone from that. I am so far into my future.

I have never felt like I could not be myself. I take my shoes off; I am country; I tell people what I eat when I eat, when I am hungry; I make songs about it. I had a song about it on my first album that said, “This is me.” So I am straight-straight. From our first date, I took the risk of telling Kendall who I really was and he told me who he was as well. And now, I sit around sometimes and think about some of the things
