If you’re living your life in fear, then you’re just not living.

Every life has a purpose. Share your story and you may help someone find their own.

Your imperfections make you beautiful, they make you who you are.

If I help one person out with getting through the struggles that I’ve had, then I’ve done my job on this planet and this life.

Do what makes you happy, and don’t care what others think.

You have the capability to change your life all with a simple shift in perspective.

Whatever you dream of doing one day, don’t give up on that dream because you never know where it can take you.

Don’t let anything or anyone define you. You are what you are because of what you make of tough situations in your life.

My stepdad provided me with an amazing childhood. I played outside like a normal kid, I rode my bike, I walked to school, but the happiest times were when I was acting.

Music is my life. Music runs through my veins. Music inspires me. Music is a part of me. Music is all around us. Music soothes me. Music gives me hope when I lose faith. Music comforts me. Music is my refuge.

Go where you are wanted and stray from where you aren’t. Surround yourself with positive people and environments.

Sometimes I think, ‘Why couldn’t I have been normal?

It’s amazing what you can hide just by putting on a smile.

I never thought that I’d be a role model. Everyone kind of just made me a role model, and I hated that.

You can’t love other people until you love yourself.

Life – a spiritual pickle preserving the body from decay.

It’s possible to be all the parts of you that live in your heart, brain, and body. Not divided into containers. A giant messy wait of authenticity. Where you are all the things. All the time.

We ignore our feelings a lot, I realize. Many of us have to… until they really bite us in the butt.

As a teenager, I had big breasts for my age, and my friends cracked on me a lot.

Hate is always a clash between our spirit and someone else’s body.

A corpse is what’s left after waking too often.

Meditation is a vital way to purify and quiet the mind, thus rejuvenating the body.

Dance is a song of the body. Either of joy or pain.
