“I refuse to live a life of regret. I refuse to hope things will get better in the future when I have complete control over making them the best possible right here and now. We have one life—and none of us knows how long our life will be or what will become of it. The possibilities are truly infinite.”

“If people refuse to look at you in a new light and they can only see you for what you were, only see you for the mistakes you’ve made, if they don’t realize that you are not your mistakes, then they have to go.”

“The funny thing is when you start feeling happy alone, that’s when everyone decides to be with you.”

“Those conversations you skip sleep for.”

“You have to meet people where they are, and sometimes you have to leave them there.”
