You can always care [about what others think]. You probably always will care. But don't let it dictate your choices and what you want and what you want to accomplish and who you want to be. Don't let anyone get in the way of that. That's being yourself.

Don't ever, ever, ever give up, because you're here for a reason, even if it's just to laugh at cats on the internet.

You are constantly changing & evolving through your experiences, how you interpret your experiences, and how you choose to do things in the future based on those experiences.

When I'm feeling sad, or lonely, and I don't know what I'm doing and I don't know where I'm going, I imagine the Cool Awesome Future Version of Myself just telling my present self, "It's okay. You just gotta grab that giraffe by the ears and ride it on out."

You become yourself, every single day of your life, through your choices and how you think.

The single greatest gift you could ever give the world is to be exactly who you are.

In order to find out who you are, you will, at some point, have to feel really isolated, left out, different.
