“Be friends first when you’re dating. If it turns into something more, that’s awesome, and if not you have another friend.”

I think you really have to tap into your sense of humor in order to survive.

People are going to judge you anyway, so you might as well do what you want.

So don’t you worry your pretty little mind because people throw rocks at things that shine.

Love is unpredictable and it’s frustrating and it’s tragic and it’s beautiful.

Your crush is coming, act natural.

I love writing songs because I love preserving memories, like putting a picture frame around a feeling you once had.

My favorite thing in the world is telling stories, and most of what I do is telling stories through music.

Growing up is scary because it happens without you knowing it.

And when someone apologizes to you enough times for things they’ll never stop doing, I think it’s fearless to stop believing them. It’s fearless to say “you’re not sorry” and walk away.

When you fight to honor racists, you show black Tennesseans and all of their allies where you stand, and you continue this cycle of hurt. You can’t change history, but you can change this.

Any relationship I ever have will have to be hidden, or else it will be destroyed before it even starts.

Nothing ruins your day more than getting a bad review.

We all dream about love, want to be in love, and have been hurt by love.

When you’re pretttttty sure that if you were a man, you’d be the man.

Fixing your heartbreak by getting into another relationship is not the way to live your life – you need to live it on your terms for a while.

Your success, your life, your happiness. Don’t let mean people bring that down.

And I knew that it was better to live out one’s absurdity than to die for that of others.

One day you’ll understand the sheer awesomeness that is me.

I’ve dated a couple of guys who were awesome, and the celebrity part of my life and the traveling part are hard to get around. You never get to see each other, especially if you’re both musicians.

Allah says Jannah is awesome, imagine how awesome that is when the All-Knowing is calling it awesome.

We just did an awesome job of not dying.

We just did an awesome job of not dying.

I am not really single, I am dating my self , I take my self out to eat, I buy myself clothes, I love me, I’m awesome.

We live in a vast and awesome universe in which, daily, suns are made and worlds destroyed, where humanity clings to an obscure clod of rock.
