On Kam Hwy, there’s a blue house that stands on stilts. Two gates. One road. The car tires bumping up and down. When you enter through the last gate, there’s a splash of green. Green plants of all shapes and sizes — longan, coconut, mountain apples — spiky, pokey, and sleeping kinds. If you happen to wake up on a day when the sky is clear, lean against the balcony rails and push your body forward…

We started the garden, Green, tall, and lush, Yellow Pansies, Carnations, And Daisies. We enjoyed being in it, For those sunny days, I tended the garden, And you danced in yours. My daisies flowered, Blossomed, Turned my lush, Into a sanctuary. I gave you some pansies, You put it aside and thanked, With a grin on your face. The next day, A single weed, Grown from nowhere, Or always been a…
Our bodies, facing each other, in our pajamas, in a heated tent. I asked him, “What was the highlight of your day?” He answered all the fun things he enjoyed that day — being in nature, being with people he loved. I thought that would be it. He then looked at me with concern in his eyes, a look I haven’t seen before when we talked about the highlights of our day. I retrace the day and nothing…
““Another thing the world can talk about, another thing that gets tongue twisted. I stand with Taylor even with the claims put out by others look justifying to about anyone. It’s so easy to target a successful person. As I said to my supervisors and also having played basically a part of a woman that is a master of her art, people will always want to bring down a female and especially a top, strong, and bold female.
In the past, I read many articles identifying Taylor as someone that paints herself as a victim. I read one yesterday stating she leaves “omits” information even using an example from YEARS ago about Taylor not giving the full story on a break-up with Joe Jonas. Really? Call our teenager selves that label. Then it was a feud between Katy Perry and Taylor. She said this, no she said this argument. We really won’t know what the full argument was all about, though, right? We weren’t there. So, Kanye decided to go full out and Kim put out an illegal phone recording of Taylor “giving” her blessing to his Famous song, without even giving out the full recording.
I stand with Taylor because even with all of his, it’s not convincing enough to give Taylor this character people have created. When Kanye went up to the VMA’s stage and publicly basically said that Beyonce deserved that award, Taylor didn’t punch him like many others could have if it was them in her place. Instead, she even forgave him. A friend does NOT record your conversation though or have his wife do it. Taylor has shown grace in situations like these.
Fast forward to current day, once I saw that Scooter bought Big Machine Label, my first thought was, “How does Taylor feel about this?” This was before she posted a post about it, and before any headlines or article came out with who is siding with who. I thought of this because, well, BML was her first. She has a history with it. Secondly, I never thought of Scooter as a great person in the music world. I’m surprised that there were people who thought he was. My gut feeling was that this might be a bad thing. And, it is. No artist should ever have to “earn” back their records. No artist should ever get a less than 24 hour notice via text about their work being bought. Reality is, though, it happens, and it’s a shady, mothereffing world out there. And it takes strong, bold, and top women to bring it up.
I stand with Taylor because this fight is hers and many other women that gets put down and shot down for the work they put in. I stand with Taylor because she represents the tough conversations we do not want to bring up or talk about. I stand with Taylor because I believe in my soul and heart, she’s a beautiful human being that we all need in our world and lives. I stand with Taylor because this is also my fight.
P.S. I think we should refrain calling Scott and others a rat. Throwing names won’t do any good.
1.) “you were given the opportunity to own your masters, you passed.”
Taylor did have an opportunity. And like she said in her own post, she declined it because she had to “earn” it back, which leads me to present Scott’s blog picture: she had to “execute it for a period of 10 years.” There’s always a catch to something. Taylor’s team offered a 7 year period, but Scott’s side countered it with a 10 year period. There was no offer to purchase her albums though. He was trying to check mate her.
2.) “Your dad is a shareholder and was notified...Borchetta personally told you this...”
According to Scott’s post, he is a shareholder but was not present in the meeting. You can’t claim to have one personally tell someone something if it’s well, not personal, which could a whole another debate. Text messages are not personal, they’re direct an excuse to get messages through without having to work on actually meeting someone face-face
3.) “and no..you did not find out with the world”
We’re not sure where Taylor was or if she saw the messages...because from what I said in number 2...text messages aren’t the best way to tell someone important (something I learned about early on the beginnings of texting world), but in her post she said, “I learned about Scooter Braun’s purchase of my masters as it was announced to the world.” Which only means she learned about Scooter purchasing her masters. Like others have said, she may have learned about a potential deal or what not, but to learn about a specific person? It’s pretty clear there.
4.) “And girl, who are you talking about bullying. The world has watched you collect and drop friends like wilted flowers ”
Bullying is such a sensitive word, and in recent decade, it has been thrown out so easily. My problem with this statement is when dropping and collecting friends is being related to “bullying.” Dropping friends because they have hurt you or did something mean to you is not a form of bullying. I was even sensitive to Taylor using bullying in her paragraph but because it is such a sensitive and strong word for me.
From stopbullying.gov:
An Imbalance of Power: Kids who bully use their power—such as physical strength, access to embarrassing information, or popularity—to control or harm others. Power imbalances can change over time and in different situations, even if they involve the same people.
I think it’s important to note “use their power...to control or harm others,” and to deeply think about the meaning.
So, I wanted to respond to Yael’s post to clarify some things I saw were issues in the headlines. We will never know the whole story, and as a person watching this, I just hope at the end of it, we have conversations about rights and female rights.
For years I asked, pleaded for a chance to own my work. Instead I was given an opportunity to sign back up to Big Machine Records and ‘earn’ one album back at a time, one for every new one I turned in. I walked away because I knew once I signed that contract, Scott Borchetta would sell the label, thereby selling me and my future. I had to make the excruciating choice to leave behind my past. Music I wrote on my bedroom floor and videos I dreamed up and paid for from the money I earned playing in bars, then clubs, then arenas, then stadiums.
Some fun facts about today’s news: I learned about Scooter Braun’s purchase of my masters as it was announced to the world. All I could think about was the incessant, manipulative bullying I’ve received at his hands for years.
Like when Kim Kardashian orchestrated an illegally recorded snippet of a phone call to be leaked and then Scooter got his two clients together to bully me online about it. (See photo) Or when his client, Kanye West, organized a revenge porn music video which strips my body naked. Now Scooter has stripped me of my life’s work, that I wasn’t given an opportunity to buy. Essentially, my musical legacy is about to lie in the hands of someone who tried to dismantle it.
This is my worst case scenario. This is what happens when you sign a deal at fifteen to someone for whom the term ‘loyalty’ is clearly just a contractual concept. And when that man says ‘Music has value’, he means its value is beholden to men who had no part in creating it.
When I left my masters in Scott’s hands, I made peace with the fact that eventually he would sell them. Never in my worst nightmares did I imagine the buyer would be Scooter. Any time Scott Borchetta has heard the words ‘Scooter Braun’ escape my lips, it was when I was either crying or trying not to. He knew what he was doing; they both did. Controlling a woman who didn’t want to be associated with them. In perpetuity. That means forever.
Thankfully, I am now signed to a label that believes I should own anything I create. Thankfully, I left my past in Scott’s hands and not my future. And hopefully, young artists or kids with musical dreams will read this and learn about how to better protect themselves in a negotiation. You deserve to own the art you make.
I will always be proud of my past work. But for a healthier option, Lover will be out August 23.

Set along the #amalficoast near #positano, is a cute little restaurant that needed an italian driver to course along the windy and edgy roads to get to. And in the back of this restaurant is a #hillsidegarden, and besides the wheat, every meal is from ingredients in the garden. The #pasta is homemade from the wheat they get elsewhere. The food tasted like the freshness of the garden, and there was no question that this is how food should taste like. This was my beginning to a lifelong goal to #cookseasonally, #cooklocally, #cookfromscratch . . #fattorialatagliata #traveltoitaly #goodeats #justinaeats https://www.instagram.com/homemade_happyness/p/BtGtVStgWL5/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=w7gl1uf7dd1l
You are over 100 miles away from me, and I want to tell you how much I want to laugh with you, to feel like I can make someone laugh and love doing it with them. I want to feel your energy and how it energizes me. I want to have our deep conversations and stay up with you over and over and still not feel tired the next day.
You are over 1000 miles away from me, and i want to call you to tell you Taylor's new song. I want to laugh and bother you. I want to just tell you how much I love you, and not really tell you because big sisters like me don't really do that, at least not all the time. Because I got to get you keep guessing, although we both know I can't surprise you.
You are over the ocean, and I want to paint our dreams together and be the best when I'm with you because that's what you do; that's your super power. I want to do everything because I know you'd want to do it with me too.
You are in a foreign place that I dream about, and maybe one day my stepdad will invite me. I want to be obnoxious because you see me for who I am and not what I am.
You're so close and you're so far. And, I just want to do something crazy and feel like the world is off my shoulders. Because I know you love it too.
And you'll be back soon, but all I want right now is to be under the warmth you have always created for me. The calm in the storm.
I made a mistake. And, now it will be on me. I hope whatever happens afterwards, the loves will still be there.
I feel terrified much of the time of being judged incorrectly and to lose friends I care about. I am afraid of others feeling like how I feel of her, like one day we're friends then the next we're not because of some dark thing they see and don't love. I'm afraid they'll feel the way I feel about her, that anxiety and feeling of never feeling like things are in harmony.
But it isn't that. While one showed me one part of the light, the person I care most about showed me how valuable I am to her and how bright the light is. She showed me that I am loved for even all of my dark and shadow parts. She brings me back to the brave space of myself. She reminds me that I'm also in a safe space.
Her and I went to get her nails done. The nail artist expressed how lucky we are to have girl friends because she doesn't have any she can call on. And even when I empathized with her, I also felt that every woman, every female, every lady, should have a female, woman, lady to be loved by. To be loved in a way no man could love another or fulfill. Even if it's just one that is your every part of your soul and nature. Sisterhood is a brave space, and I couldn't be any luckier to have such giving, forgiving, and loving people that I call sisters in my life.
The boys wanted to go to Vegas after we turned 21, and I needed to get away from the confusion and mess I put myself in. I wanted to forget and score even with her. I let loose that night at Tao, things I am not proud of doing and had too many witnesses to forget, but are now terribly great stories.
He caught my eye and attention. He had a grin on his face, and I had a short dress on. He came over and pulled me in his arms to dance with him. I let him. I felt the urges he craved for and gave into his longing because I also longed for it. I wanted to go back to the room, so he took me back.
We walked and got to know each other. The Vegas strip lights were beaming, and people were in line for food even at 2 AM. The street was still, and I could hear him louder and clearer. He asked me if I was cold, and I said I was. He took off his coat and draped it over me. I wanted that night to last. I wanted to remember how it felt like to be cared for. I knew him and I wouldn't ever be a thing, set in a mirage by the courage juice.
I opened the door and she stood there surprised to see the guy with me, and when he left, she wanted to know everything that happened. I blushed and it was the first time in a long time, I felt again. The mess I was in wasn't real and true, and I needed a reason to leave it. I had found it. I had found it in him or the idea of us. I had found it in the feeling that stirs in the beginnings. The hope that had bloomed was my motivation to leave. I was too happy and hopeful to ever go back to how I used to feel before this night, and I made it my goal to have it stay.
Something had to happen. Either he moves on, I move on, or we both at the right time together. One of them happened though. He got with someone. He got with the girl I speculated he would. And, im okay with that. Im happy he did because he is such a good person, and she seems so too (from all the google searching, admittingly)
A big part of me feels relieved because I dont need to stress or worry about missing a dream. Now, it just feels like I have this dream that im living in -- my teacher dream. And, in some light, that husband dream will merge with my teacher dream...thats what everyone says at least. I hope theyre rightt.
Because I thought about that the other day, when I got sick on saturday, that im acrually afraid ill end up alone forever!! Ill be that old dog lady or something. I hope im that loving that someone wants to love me.
But im serious when I say that I feel relieved. I dont even feel bummed or sad. jordin sparks posted this quote after her and jason derulo broke up. It was, "dont cry because its over, smile because it happened." and im smiling about it all the time.
So this new sam francisco chapter is finding how to be justina in a city that isnt like her at all. Where do I fit in this city? What piece of this puzzle can I fit? Then I realized thats the great thing about me. That I find the positive in every situation. I found a ribbon store this past weekend and got really excited about it. They even have workshops and ive always wanted to do it. I got so excited! I wasnt able to find one in san jose, so im glad I found one in the city.

Here is a picture of a girl wanted for winning at poker and super smash bros and not smart enough to do all of that.She is wanted for feeling sure and confident and accepting all mistakes as opportunities to rise up.And the reward for bringing her down is the feeling of displacing your own insecurities.If you find this girl, be sure to have an army to exclude her from joining it.
You remind me of someone I know when you took my sign off and made it your own. And when you friend me like you wanted to be closer only until you shove it right in my face whose side you're on. You pick and choose then exclude me from your own narrative. And, I will not understand why I do this to myself. I think, "oh, great. She's cool. We're going to be friends," then you took out that knife and shoved it in my back. You lead with light, and then slash with fire. And in that burning flame being caught off guard, I found myself asking, "who are you?" and in that thought I knew, "she's got to be a gemini," because you remind me of someone I know, and she created a bad rep for geminis.
Ah pies. I take #piemaking very seriously when its thanksgiving and christmas - - from making homemade pie crust to pinching the crust. My favorite part about this #pie was the apples were from the #farmersmarket. Fun fact - - not only is #sugar an important flavoring part of making #applepies but it is also essential in absorbing the apple juice so that you dont get a soggy top crust. . . . #foodscience #eatseasonal https://www.instagram.com/homemade_happyness/p/BszKaBrglFF/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1x3h8i5iymd8u

Xi'an famous food in #newyork made it to the top 38 eateries in the U.S! Here is my order from there. I think i ordered something with oxtail. #xianfamousfoods #foodguidenewyork https://www.eater.com/best-american-restaurants-review/2018/11/13/18071890/best-restaurants-america-2018 https://www.instagram.com/homemade_happyness/p/BqMHXihAu3j/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=13ptfpz27jdut
The #coconut is one of my favorite #seeds and #fruits. Yes; it is a seed. To be even more specific the whole thing is a fruit, but the coconut that we often see in the grocery market (the spherical shape with 3 eyes) is just the seed part of it. It is used in so many different ethnic cooking from #polynesians to #vietnamese. And a lot of the whole tree is used up. My favorite fact is that these seeds can travel in the oceans for miles and when it reaches land can grow new coconut trees. . . This is a picture of my sister holding the coconut on my dads mini farm in the #northshore right after he machete d it. . . . #coconuttrees🌴 #worldcoconutday #onedaylate https://www.instagram.com/p/BnRJ0dUnne7/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=11tjz1wwfgc8w
