The artist...is the voice of the people.

Writing about people helps us to understand them, and understanding them helps us to accept them as part of ourselves.

What you hope for, you also fear.

Even as I hold you, I am letting you go.

As you know from school, it's when you have not prepared for the test that you have the fear of failing. And if you have prepared, even if you fail, you've done your best.

I feel like to be where you need to be - where you know you need to be - is such a high. What could be better?
