My life is PG-13 sometimes, and I really want Josh Grogan to propose to me, and he just won't do it.

The most heartbreaking things are the ones that are sometimes the truest.

I really like grammar. And spelling. I was a spelling-bee kid. I'm hard-core about grammar.

My great hope for us as young women is to start being kinder to ourselves so that we can be kinder to each other. To stop shaming ourselves and other people for things we don't know the full story on - whether someone is too fat, too skinny, too short, too tall, too loud, too quiet, too anything. There's a sense that we're all ‘too’ something, and we're all not enough.
