I would not have lasted a minute, literally a minute, on this Earth without God and angels by my side, because I was born. And right as I was born, I went into a respiratory arrest. So, big things that keep me going are friends and family, God. And another thing is looking forward to what's going to happen tomorrow.

Sunset is still my favorite color, and rainbow is second.

Maybe I wanted to have kids because you want to leave behind lessons, leave behind everything that matters to you. That's how you touch the world. But I have to reconsider what it's like to leave a legacy.

Remember to look at your glass half full and not half empty. A lot of my strength comes from God. God has given me a gift - the gift of life - and it's amazing that I live each day.

Expressing my feelings and then the opportunity to share it with others is just such a gift.

We're divorced from my father because he did some mean and scary things to us.

I want to be remembered as a poet, a peacemaker, and a philosopher who played.
