“We have to live bravely in order to truly feel alive, and that means not being ruled by our greatest fears.”

I had the time of my life with you Glendale, Arizona.

Never believe anyone who tells you that you don’t deserve what you want.

Silence speaks so much louder than screaming tantrums. Never give anyone an excuse to say that you’re crazy.

I’m very aware and very conscious of the path I chose in life, and very aware of the path I didn’t choose.

I think you really have to tap into your sense of humor in order to survive.

People are going to judge you anyway, so you might as well do what you want.

So don’t you worry your pretty little mind because people throw rocks at things that shine.

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.

Have I been buried alive by chronic pain? I can taste the dirt as they put me in the earth, thick on my lips like the honey that drips down my lips.

Hate all you want that doesn’t change the fact I’m one of the hardest young niggas alive night now.

I won’t be like Snow White and wait around for some guy. Prince charming’s kiss isn’t the only thing that makes me feel alive.

Hope is the only thing that keeps us alive. Without hope there can be no you or I.

Sometimes life breaks us and buries us alive, but that is how we find our purpose and rise bloom in love.

In the morning it was morning and I was still alive.

Pain is only a reflection that proves you are alive.

Every day is a holiday: you open your eyes, and you realize that you are alive, and this is already a great start, because you might not have woken up.
