she hits like ecstasy

"Ha, right. That's what I used to do too. All that I'd ever post is covers and, well, occasionally an original but it'd be just me and my guitar and my crappy laptop quality. So now that I've been writing this for over a year now and trying to perfect it, it's so weird that it's real and personal nonetheless. You should do that, honestly. Start working on an EP because as nerveracking as it is now, it was fun putting it together.”

"music, art, wine, vinyls. call it boring, if you will but it makes for a good sunday night. 'least for me anyway."

For now. In the long run it won't be. It's cute that you wanna sacrifice your own comfort for her though.

oh wow, you have a daughter? well, that explains it. how old is she exactly?

“just say something civil and vague. we never actually said we were dating. people spun that on their own. so they can’t actually hold anything you say against either of us. just… don’t stay on the topic. i don’t want your interviews to become about me.”

"I mean... well, yeah, that's true. people just assumed so technically we never really lied. I'll tell them the truth—that we're friends— and shift the topic because I know they'll try to ask about it a couple of times."

kauri: you should, i know some people it'd actually impress

kauri: least i can do. i never really admitted to anyone how scared shitless i was when i released my first legit stuff, but seriously, i was so nervous. you're making yourself so vulnerable to strangers. but when it's out and you start to get people's feedback, it's pure excitement. you're gonna be great, don't worry

kauri: oh also congrats on taking my best mate off the market, takes a special kinda girl to do that

cara: yes exactly! that's how I feel right now. I've been writing all these songs and constantly changing them up to make sure they're perfect because I want this to be great and it's such a big opportunity I'm not really known for having things go my way haha

Cara nodded, offering him a small smile. "Yeah, I mean I guess you're right. I'm freaking out way too much about this, I'll end up ruining it," she ran a hand through her hair as she took a deep breath. "Thank you, that helped just a bit."

"Yeah, I don't think so."

@carahamilton: walked into the office today to find this giant teddy bear right in the middle. my manager thought it’d be a great gift for finally releasing my ep. I don’t know whether he was aiming to make me happy or scar me for life. oddly enough, he succeeded at both. #godsavetheempty #rufusthebear

“wait, hold on, take a breath, but —- are you doing an interview? with who? do you know what they’re going to ask?”

"I'm doing more than just one interview and I'll bet you everything I have that a question or two about us will come up at some point. Which is making me freak out even more because I still have no clue what to say."

kauri: you put up with my shit and got me to change my mind about you, i'd say that's tough

kauri: good, at least there's that then

kauri: never got around to hearing any of your stuff, but i'm sure it's great. i know you've been waiting for this for a long time, so i'm excited for you too. i'll pick up a copy on friday

cara: I'll add that to my list of accomplishments

kauri: don't know about the others, but i can vouch that you are

kauri: in the end, this probably has more people buzzing than before anyways, so good timing?

kauri: excited??

cara: how sweet.

cara: tbh it is. it's both positive and negative feedback which was expected but I've gained fans out of it so it's not all bad??
