nothing will ever understand our pain as well as music does

I've learned a lot of things this year...not everyone who smiles at you is your friend. Fear really is terrifying but when you face it, the feeling is euphoric. I can say no and not feel guilty. I can say yes and not feel guilty. I know when to walk away from anything that isn't good for me, but the best thing I learned is that happiness is inside of me and always has been.

everything is temporaryexcept for my loveyou will be long gone and i will still love youthat will never go awaythat, my love, is permanent

I AM strong today because weak didn't suit me. I AM beautiful inside today because being ugly was horrible. I AM kind, generous and loving today because I've been poor, broken and unloved. I AM who I am today because of my yesterdays and I don't regret one single day.

You sure as hell didn't come this far to only come this far. Keep going.

One day you're going to look back and wonder why you wasted so much time worrying about things that never mattered much.

I'm the most awesome person I know.

It's not always about fixing what is broken. Sometimes it's about starting over and creating something new.

...but I am only one, and if I can make a difference, so can you...
