I've spent the majority of my life estranged from either one or both of my parents, and I've really had a lot of time to break down all the reasons why. There was something buried inside of me that said, I've got to kind of unravel the reasons why I don't talk to them; why not just one, but both of my parents and I have these really messed up relationships. And why I've been so fractured all these years. I got to the point where I thought, I was not the best kid. I openly admit that. But then I realized it doesn't matter. I was a kid!

There's no such thing as a perfect life, but if you hold on to that long enough and watch it get chipped away, that's really hard to deal with. I had no one telling me otherwise.

If you took every pop song to heart, you'd be a bleeding romantic with a crushed heart every five minutes.

You can become something you don't want to become, but it's a change, a new phase. Hopefully one you want.

You can always be writer. It's not so much a metamorphosis as it is finding what you want.

There are people that will try to hurt you and hold you down.
