“Step into the daylight and let it go.”

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.

What darkness is to you is light is to me.

Teaching is not filling up a pail, it is lighting a fire.

I release my handsfree the reins, as the blood diminishes through my empty veins; allowing life to flow as I go into the light that’s resided in my soul.

I want a blaze of light to flame in me forever in a timeless, dear love of everything. And why should I pretend to want anything else?

Contrary to the general belief about photography, you don’t need bright sunlight: the best moodiest pictures are taken in the dim light of almost dusk, or of rainy days.

You’ve got the kind of soul that leaves my heart open overflowing with the light you bring.

To the untrue man, the whole universe is false- it is impalpable- it shrinks to nothing within his grasp. And he himself is in so far as he shows himself in a false light, becomes a shadow, or, indeed, ceases to exist.

In the absence of you I look to the moon and pray that the stars light my way, too.
