I think that just being alive inspires me.

I try to just take in every moment of being alive.

I strongly believe that whenever there's failure or you feel like you've failed, it's only just the beginning, and you can only learn from it.

Statistically, Portland, Oregon has the most street kids, like kids that run away from home and live on the street. Its like a whole culture thing there. If you walk around on the streets, there are kids living on the streets, begging for money, but its almost like a cool thing. They all just sit around and play music and squat.

You keep on going if you fail.

I know it sounds very cliché and not very exciting, but if I'm outdoors - in the wild or the ocean or the forest - it inspires me.

Failure can only open more doors for you as a person and as growth and life.
