/plays Schubert Serenade/

“I spent my childhood learning how to fear, and now I spend my adulthood learning how not to.”

“How someone reacts to your sadness says a lot about how long they’re going to be in your life.”

“She doesn’t want to hear that she is flawless. She wants to hear that she is loved regardless of her flaws.”

“When the world says ‘Give up’, hope whispers 'Try it one more time.’”

There'll be a moment when you realise you're 27 when yesterday you were just 17; and you wouldn't be able to tell how a decade passed away and your life got divided into before and afters. The fury of youth will subdue and nothing will really change but everything will feel different when you look at old photographs and blurry videos taken on cheap mobile phones. Scents will remind you of childhood and certain friends you don't talk to anymore, hangouts will become reunions and mom's burnt pie will become the best food you ever had. And I know on some days you won't be able to show anything of those 10 years but I hope you remember to breathe, and let go of the knot in your chest. I hope you go out in the sun and live a little, because tomorrow is 37.
