I certainly could've gone off track many, many times in my youth.

When I first saw you, I saw love. from You're Still The One

If foundations made of stone can turn to dust, then the hardest hearts of steel can turn to rust.

It always disappoints me when I go to a concert and they don't play my favorite song, or at least one of their biggest hits.

I won't lie, I've had a lot of discouraging moments in the past years, moments I wasn't sure about things and doubted myself.

You have to set your own boundaries. We all do. You have to self-check. At the same time, the transparency is liberating. It is so much easier than screening every little thing you do and say. There's got to be some fluidity to self-expression without constantly editing things. The older I get, the more confident I feel in that. The filters are just flung away... lets face it, filters interrupt the flow of sincerity. If you're embarrassed about something you've done, then just say it.

Now that I have and I'm not a have-not, I've learned how important it is to maintain humility.
