Every person faces their own unique challenges and you may not always know what others around you are going through.

Don't like me for who I am? Then you don't like me for who I am. And all you're gonna get is who I am.

I wake up in the morning, put on my face. The one that's going to get me through another day. Doesn't really matter...how I feel inside. This life is like a game sometimes. When you came around me the walls just disappeared. Nothing to surround me and keep me from my fears. I'm unprotected. See how I've opened up? You've made me trust.

It's so easy for me to do a boy-bashing pop song, but to sit down and write honestly about something that's really close to me, something I've been through, it's a totally different thing.

My mom wouldn't let me sing 'Strawberry Wine' because it had 'wine' in it.

I want people to feel inspired to reach out and be inclusive and supportive of others in their community who might be facing any kind of challenge, whether it is a health issue or a disability.

Why should I care what other people think of me? I am who I am. And who I wanna be.
