“An impact is like a punch it may hurt put it passes.”

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.

Don’t be afraid to speak up, because someone will be there for you.

I can’t set my hopes too high, ‘Cause every hello ends with a goodbye.

I prefer to cry alone, Pride? No. I just want to avoid trial of people who don’t know the reason of my tears.

So I’m putting my defenses up, cause I don’t wanna fall in love. If I ever did that. I think I’d have a heart attack.

I’m an American for marriage equality. I believe that love comes in all different shapes, sizes, and colors. So whether you’re LGBT or straight, your love is valid, beautiful, and an incredible gift.

Love your suffering. Do not resist it, do not flee from it. It is only your aversion to it that hurts, nothing else.

Tell the truth boldly, whether it hurts or not. Never pander to weakness. If truth is too much for intelligent people and sweeps them away, let them go; the sooner the better.

You know quite well, deep within you, that there is only a single magic, a single power, a single salvation…and that is called loving. Well, then, love your suffering. Do not resist it, do not flee from it. It is your aversion that hurts, nothing else.

When you put Listerine in your mouth, it hurts. Germs do not go quietly.

Violence just hurts those who are already hurt. Instead of exposing the brutality of the oppressor, it justifies it.

I will never hurt a girl, I respect them too much.

And you think compassion’s a flaw And you’ll never let it show and you’re sure you’ve hurt in a way that no one will ever know.

What’s the worst thing I’ve stolen? Probably little pieces of other people’s lives. Where I’ve either wasted their time or hurt them in some way.
