One of the things I've realized is how portable God is. No really, He's everywhere!

As a younger person, my philosophy was jump off a cliff. I realize now that there are stairs and elevators. I am learning every day to allow the space between where I am and where I want to be to inspire me and not terrify me. I can even ask for help! Not feeling that I have to know everything, and that’s where the growth comes in, in the not knowing.

Throughout high school, I was obsessed with magazines. I used to just comb through them and plaster things on my wall.

I like to choose compassion over judgment and curiosity over fear.

In some of the darkest and hardest moments, there is always a part of me that is okay. And I can always access that part of me.

I sometimes think to myself, you're not going to meet a new friend of any kind at home in front of the TV with your DVR. As much as it's great, and there are so many good shows on TV, and I have great books that I'm reading, get out and interact with people.

I don't really talk about my personal life. It's a strange and funny and weird thing. Sometimes you have a conversation with someone and the paparazzi snaps a picture of you and people decide you're dating. If I try to answer everything people say, I would be up all night.
