“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.”

This is a new year. A new beginning. And things will change.

Happiness isn’t a constant. You get fleeting glimpses. You have to fight for those moments, but they make it all worth it.

I had the time of my life with you Glendale, Arizona.

Never believe anyone who tells you that you don’t deserve what you want.

Silence speaks so much louder than screaming tantrums. Never give anyone an excuse to say that you’re crazy.

I’m very aware and very conscious of the path I chose in life, and very aware of the path I didn’t choose.

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.

Coping with love’s aftertaste, my fractal feelings sprint in haste, my mellow neurons transmit tears, like a cascade of caramel latte.

We wilted – like weeping willows wallowing wistfully in the wind.

You closed the book before we could reach the end.

Muses are born from a soul that is aching but I would sacrifice the most beautiful art if I could stop one heart from breaking.

Are we still in the same world? Then why do I feel so far away from you? As if our two worlds were separated.

When they try to break you down let the rain nourish your roots; let yourself flourish away.

You decided you loved me when I decided I was done waiting.

Talking to you wrecks me because it is a glimpse into what I could have had if only.
