You start to realize that the things that are different about you are the things that make you special. And, as cliche as at that sounds, you realize that if you are lucky enough to have something that is different about you...don't try to hide it. I don't try to blend in anymore, it's all about standing out.

Anything that encourages people to pick up an instrument and play, I'm fully behind.

I'm the type of person, I have to study to get an A on the test.

Say it to them. Or say it to yourself in the mirror. Say it in a letter you'll never send or in a book millions might read someday. I think you deserve to look back on your life without a chorus of resounding voices saying 'I could've, but it's too late now.'

I only sing in my church choir. Except the other night, I stole the show at karaoke night.

Words, how little they mean when they are too late.

I know my flaws before other people point them out to me.
