Throughout the years, Kesha has gone on a journey that she has allowed fans to take with her.
Even in her relatively young life, she has transformed over time.
Some changes have been obvious.
For example, she changed her namefrom “Ke$ha” back to Kesha.
Other changes have required a need for treatment and self reflection that took time.
According toRolling Stone, the star knew she wanted to be a singer since she was 2 years old.

She wasn’t “normal” and was called out for this.
As the singer toldRolling Stone, “I refused to conform and they refused to be nice.”
Even years later, this feeling never went away.
She also wrote songs for top pop stars Britney Spears and Ariana Grande.
Kesha struggled with this lack of balance in the content of her music.
She wanted to show the vulnerable side as well, but became known for this party girl persona.

In January of 2014, she checked herself into a treatment center for her eating disorder.
She was able to write songs about what she was thinking and experiencing in that moment.

She had a new understanding of who she was.
I’m just taking back my [expletive] life."

She wanted to be released from her contract.
The 27-year-old’s request was denied in court, due to the nature of her contract.
This is just what Kesha is now doing when it comes to social media.

Taking the time to work on yourself requires bravery.
