Doctor, our insanity is not that we see people who aren’t there. It’s that we ignore the ones who are.
–  WHEN THE BOUGH BREAKS

You’d
say, “This kind of love has to be a verb.” We are paint on a slick
canvas – it’s gonna take a whole lot to stick but if we do, we’ll be a
masterpiece.
– I DO


“What do you mean you’re small? Of course you’re small. We’re all small, but we are small like the moon is small in the sky and not a wave would ever find its way to shore without us
–  SHINE


‘NO NO NO I am not fine’! Fine is the suckiest word, it never tells the truth and more than anything i have ever been afraid of I am terrified of lies
– PANIC BUTTON COLLECTOR


And every time you’re full of sorrow. Every time you wake up crying, Know that that day is a perfect day to shine
– SHINE 

Sometimes it takes the most wounded wings, the most broken things to notice how strong the breeze is, how precious the flight”
– THE MOON IS A KITE


“ Forests may be gorgeous but there is nothing more alive than a tree that learns how to grow in a cemetery.”
— GOSPEL SALT


You are not weak just because your heart feels so heavy.
– THE NUTRITIONIST


We have to create; it is the only thing louder than destruction, it is the only chance the bars are gonna break.
– YELLOW BIRD


So this morning, I decided how I want to live. What I want to give..What kind of song I want to sing. Now I’m no longer looking at my days like they’re a cup calling them half empty or half full when they’ve always been enough. They’ll always be enough to fill me up if I stop thinking so much and start drinking them up
–  ENOUGH


Don’t google your name.  Ever.  Don’t “search” for yourself on anything that glows in the dark.
Don’t let your beauty be something anyone can turn off.
Don’t edit your ugly out of your bio. Let your light come from the fire.
Let your pain be the spark, but not the timber.
Remember, you didn’t come here to write your heart out. You came to write it in
– DON’T
