“People will come and go in your life, it is the ones that touch your heart that are your true friends, whether near or far.”

“Surround yourself with others who are not silent of their love and support of you. Remind them of their worth, too.”

“I suppose I love my scars because they have stayed with me longer than most people have.”

“Nothing can compare to books and writing while it’s raining.”

“My flame next to yours, could set the world ablaze.”

“Now, every time I witness a strong person, I want to know: What darkness did you conquer in your story? Mountains do not rise without earthquakes.”

“…I like simple things, books, being alone, or with somebody who understands.”

“I do not miss childhood, but I miss the way I took pleasure in small things, even as greater things crumbled. I could not control the world I was in, could not walk away from things or people or moments that hurt, but I took joy in the things that made me happy.”

I would like to be known as a person who is concerned about freedom and equality and justice and prosperity for all people.
