The singer shared the news on her social media platform with the hand written message that read:

Hey You,

I’ve been trying to tell you a story for close to three years, I’ve been desperate to tell you something. Something to help me show you the thoughts I’m thinking… the feelings I’m feeling. I started to start, but then I got pregnant and said “not yet.”

Then my child was in my arms. In the arms of a woman whose love was so great, that it swallowed her whole and left her unsteady. It confused me, but for some reason, for a season, I became less sure – of the stories I wanted to tell. Of the way I wanted to tell them. I craved clarity. So again, I said “not yet.”

Moths passed, and I believed the moment had come. i was certain it was the time and that the stars had finally alligned. “Eureka,” I thought.

But when I listened, alone and in the dark I didn’t feel right. It felt too much like my story was tainted by too many second and third party opinions. Opinions and ideas I usually cherish and lean on – but not for this story. Just me, so again, I said “not yet.”

I paused my impatience, listened to only the voices in my head, trusted in only the instincts I was born with. Now, when I listen in the dark, or in all the places the sun likes to shine, alone or with everybody else , it feels right. Eureka!

On the 3rd of June I will share this story with you finally. #ToBeHonest.
