In my mind, I see all of my passionate memories in bright, burning Red.

When I was a teenager I felt like we were always being stereotyped as being really intense and dramatic and passionate and hopelessly romantic and excitable, now in retrospect I think I need to let you know those things are amazing. I hope you never lose those things.

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

I stay out too late, got nothing in my brain.

Standing there at the stage door to the rest of your life. Time to dip your toe into the deep end. Try things. Say hi already. Laugh a lot. Mess up. Apologize. Mess up again. Hug people. Take chances. Trust yourself. Lose things. Get over it. Hold your friends close. Gather your strength. Gain wisdom and beautiful stories. Be brave, and you'll have the time of your life.

being open isn't the same as being weak.

Maybe you're not meant to fit in. maybe you're supposed to stand out.
