On another note, these past few days have felt somewhat somber to me. 😍
Back in the spring of 2009, Newsom ended up developing nodules on her vocal cords, and apparently, whenever she tried to speak, it sounded just like the hiss you hear when you crack open a cold Coke. She spent two whole months lugging a notebook around because she wasn't allowed to sing, talk, or even shed a tear. “Crying was actually the absolute worst thing for my voice,” she noted. “I had to constantly tell myself, don’t feel, don’t feel, don’t feel.” As she recovered, there was this sense of grief once she realized her original voice was gone for good, though she claims she owes it to everyone to be "fully transparent" about the fact that she's made intentional choices regarding further vocal adjustments since then.
