“No one should have to go to school in fear of gun violence.”

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.

Unique and different is the new generation of beautiful. You dont have to be like everybody else. In fact I don’t think you should.

Everybody has that point in their life where you hit a crossroads and you’ve had a bunch of bad days and there’s different ways you can deal with it and the way I dealt with it was I just turned completely to music.

I’d be a fearless leader. I’d be an alpha type.

I believe passion is the sword of love that pierces through the wall of fears that hold us back.

We’ve never understood the hate you fear in us. Our love makes protests feel like celebrations.

If we are honest with ourselves, most of us will have to admit that we live out our lives in an ocean of fear.

Fear of being a flawed person lay at the root of my trance, and I had sacrificed many moments over the years in trying to prove my worth. Like the tiger Mohini, I inhabited a self-made prison that stopped me from living fully.

The heart is like a garden. It can grow compassion or fear, resentment or love. What seeds will you plant there?

For love casts out fear, and gratitude can conquer pride.

Your limits are liars, you fears are thieves.

Fear is a great signal. It’s like a pain signal. Hey, look at me, look at me. Get your focus right over here, at the pain.
