When I'm in emotional pain, I usually embrace the pain, cry, and let it all out. Then I try to look on the bright side.

Hiking is really great for centering; you get to be out in nature and although sometimes it seems like hell when you're getting up that mountain, it always feels good when you're done.

The truth I know for sure is that if something feels good and makes you happy on the inside, you're probably moving in the right direction.

One of my favorite activities is just to drive and listen to music - of course, only when there's no traffic.

My biggest lesson is patience. I always want things to happen overnight and they don't. I've had to learn this lesson a few times in life and, usually, it results in taking more time to fix the problem because it was rushed.

Everything has a reason, even things that aren't pleasant.

As horrible as this sounds, I am a little vulnerable about appearances.
