I want revenge, but I don't want to screw up my karma.

You can never completely know anyone, no matter how well you think you do. There will always be some truth about them you don’t ever get to know.

No one should be ashamed to speak up. Shame makes it easy for neglect and abuse and bullying to stay huddled together in their dark corner. It’s time to throw the switch on this spotlight. If I can inspire other kids to speak their truth, then everything I’ve been through will have been worth it.

Love is never guaranteed. Love is a risk we take because we hope it will make us happy.

And there are a million possibilities. Like the possibility of going separate ways. Together.

But maybe those things are like background noise if you’re from here. Maybe you have to experience this as a whole new place to appreciate it like I do.

Because my life isn't going to wait around while I figure out how to make it work.
