Life tears at us and scars us as children so we adopt facades and masks to hide this part of us, to keep this sacred part of ourselves from the pain.

Music is what I do; Christ is why I do it.

Calling has this weight that somehow we think that your calling is fixed. That your calling is this line that you’ve finally found and now you're on that track and that’s what you’re gonna do forever and maybe that's the case. But I feel like calling has much more to to do with the moment that you’re in.

I think of myself as more of a lover rather than a fighter, but sometimes you have to fight for what you love.

There are tears that shine like a smile, sobbing like a sunrise for the truth.

When life hands you lemons, you make lemonade. But when life hands you hurricanes, you go surfing.

Sometimes the things that hurt are worth the pain.
