“I’ve spent most of my life and most of my friendships holding my breath and hoping that when people get close enough they won’t leave, and fearing that it’s a matter of time before they figure me out and go.”

“Find a heart that will love you at your worst and arms that will hold you at your weakest.”

“Nothing of me is original. I am the combined effort of everyone I’ve ever known.”

I am learning to love the sound of my feet walking away from things not meant for me.

“You are ice and fire, The touch of you burns my hands like snow.”

Above all else, it is about leaving a mark that I existed: I was here. I was hungry. I was defeated. I was happy. I was sad. I was in love. I was afraid. I was hopeful. I had an idea and I had a good purpose and that’s why I made works of art.

“Every person from your past lives as a shadow in your mind. Good or bad, they all helped you write the story of your life, and shaped the person you are today.”

“You plant your own garden instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers. In other words, take responsibility for your own needs and your own happiness.”

“It takes great deal of courage to see the world in all its tainted glory, and still learn to love it.”

“True friends never leave you during hard times.”

“There are all kinds of love in the world, but never the same love twice.”

“Be weird. Be random. Be who you are. Because you never know who would love the person you hide.”
