Remember what to do when you're at the bottom of a hole? You've got to stop digging.

But it there's anything I've learned in the past few months, it's that the only thing that's certain in life is that nothing in life is certain.

I miss CDs. I miss listening to a whole album, even the lame songs that sometimes grow on you.

I love being reminded that existence itself is all about the tangling of souls.

Prior to being bullied, I was a very footloose sixth-grader. You know, I was quirky, I was creative - I really felt good in my own body. And when I was bullied in seventh grade, my self-esteem tanked.

Never underestimate yourself

My own experience being bullied - it made me a more compassionate person. It made me more sympathetic to the adolescent experience.
