“Everyone has their own path and we all kind of find them differently…”
– Debby Ryan

I love Debby Ryan’s honesty and reflections on starting her new show “Jessie.” She talks about why she pursued acting and not necessarily fame and why it’s hard to compare performers.

‘Not So Average’ from a new young artist V. Rose. talks about how we don’t have to put our worth in what other people say about us. I love the freshness and upbeat-ness of the song and video. V. Rose’s self-titled album was recently released, visit http://clearsightmusic.com to find out more and order today.

Who made up the rules of how you got to be
Picture-perfect everything, so magazine
I mean, I’m stuck in a world where I can’t just be me

So what if my nail polish always chips
So what if I prefer to where my kicks
You know, models aren’t really models when they’re not modeling

Why don’t you tell me something
Cuz what I’m really wondering
Is how long do you expect to be following
Trying to be a star like them
It’s not the way you’re gonna win, always trying to fit in… – Lyrics from “Not So Average”
