and you come away with a great little story of a mess of a dreamer with the nerve to adore you

No matter what love throws at you, you have to believe in it.

I've been my mom's kitchen helper since I was a little kid.

I still love sparkles and grocery shopping and really old cats that are only nice to you half the time. I still love writing in my journal and wearing dresses all the time and staring at chandeliers.

I think love is one of those things that it's only really bad because it was once good. You can't miss something that was never amazing. So, what I've learned is that even if it ends badly, it's worth it if it made you feel something, if it taught you something.

I think there's something so attractive about mystery.

If guys don't want me to write bad songs about them, they shouldn't do bad things.
