If you work on anything long enough hopefully you’ll get better and I feel like we’re just growing.

I really hope that when someone puts my record on that they hear me.

Don't ever feel inhibited. It's harder to censor yourself than to just be yourself.

Life is too short to surround yourself with people who aren't looking out for you.

I have this red cardigan that my friend Coco gave me that has holes for thumbs. It's my cozy sweater. I wear it a lot.

Everything will be okay. I have a sticker on my laptop that says that.

I'm excited to go study and read and immerse myself in something.
