Its okay to be imperfect.
Its okay to be messy.
Its okay to flit back and forth with ideas and perspectives.
God & Man
Its okay to not just be black and white.

You are not one color.
You are not simply red, or blue, or yellow.
You are not one-dimensional, not static or still, not always following the same set path.
You are not just angry, or happy.
Not one emotion or thought running through your head.

One minute you want to be alone, the next you crave love.
Dont have to be one thing?
Dont need to be stuck in a little box, shaped and labeled and frozen?
The truth is, you are not one thing.
Not one color or person or idea or thought.
Not one emotion or feeling or perspective or being.
Were not going to stay the same person.
Were not always going to know what we want, or where were headed.
Were sometimes going to be unsure, or unsteady, and thats perfectly okay.
What I love about Megans song is its relatability.
Its okayto be wherever we are, to feel, to still be figuring it all out.
Davies began her career on YouTube, sharing mashups and covers to well-known songs.
I wanted to write something honest, she said, about the creation of Black and White.
But when asked about the process, she admitted she struggled.
These things are real.
I kept asking myself, How do I write the rest?
To feel and imagine their lives.
I wanted them to sing in their heads and think its aboutthem.
So Ill stand upMake my peaceWith the choicesAt my feetIts the drama the chaosthe unknown that sets me free.
Everybody is complex, Davies said, when she talked about the writing process.
I struggled with social anxiety when I was younger.
I had trouble connecting, was always anxious.
Music has helped me to connect with people.
And I found confidence in putting myself out there.
I just love the brutal honesty.
Youre going to search for love, but also crave your aloneness.
Youre going to besoft and strong.
Youre going to want to grow up, but also stay young.
Youre going to crave change, yet hope to stay the same.
Youre going to be more than one color, one idea, one person.And thats beautiful.
Because you are an ever-growing, ever-changing, ever-becoming masterpiece.So celebrate that.
