“Living will always be a struggle looking for someone to love you.”

Wait, I’m deciding to be my own individual self. And it looks nothing like what anyone else is doing.

What breaks my heart is suffering of any kind. Too often, our world is divisive and cruel where it needs to be uniting and loving.

The desire to play has always been in me. I remember my first experience at about four or five of really dying to sing and dying to play that came from no one telling me to do so.

A Minor is one of my all-time favorite keys to play in. It’s a very moody key, and also ‘A’ is the first letter of my name. It just represents the songs through my eyes.

I don’t have a ton of friends, but the friends I have are great ones. I don’t have huge family, but the family I have is a great one.

Yes I was burned but I called it a lesson learned. Mistake overturned so I call it a lesson learned. My soul has returned so I call it a lesson learned…another lesson learned.

You have to identify what you care about and why you care about it. It has to be personal. It has to be something that fires you up or means something to you, or it’s not going to drive you.

The most important thing is to be proud of the work that you put into something, and put the ego aside.

I pray to give thanks and to recognize all the good things that are in my life even during times of great change, confusion, or frustration.

I’ve stepped more into my womanhood, I’m a mother now, I’m having a beautiful relationship as a wife and as a friend.

You’re stronger, and you’re better, and you’re ready for whatever.

Why give up before we try?

Be driven, be focused, but enjoy every moment, because it only happens once.

No one will take care of you if you don’t take care of yourself.

Prayer keeps me centered.

Early on in my career, I was more closed off in every way. I thought I was protecting myself; instead, I was robbing myself of all I could learn and experience.

No single event can awaken within us a stranger whose existence we had never suspected. To live is to be slowly born.

It is nothing to die. It is frightful not to live.

Don’t just live a life; build one.

As a poet, one lives a bit on air. I always like someone who can teach me something practical.

There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.

It is not possible for any thinking person to live in such a society as our own without wanting to change it.

I could die for you. But I couldn’t, and wouldn’t, live for you.

I think that somehow, we learn who we really are and then live with that decision.
