In my opinion, the only way to conquer stage fright is to get up on stage and play. Every time you play another show, it gets better and better.

I'm captivated by you, baby, like a firework show.

I'm shining like fireworks over your sad, empty town

you're an expert at sorry and keeping the lines blurry

You are the only one who gets to decide what you will be remembered for.

Believe in everything you do. Believe in your mistakes and grow from them.

No matter how bad your day is, just be grateful this day is added to your life.

I still love writing in my journal and wearing sparkly dresses and looking at old chandeliers.

I think every girl's dream is to find a bad boy at the right time, when he wants to not be bad anymore.

I wish all teenagers can filter through songs instead of turning to drugs and alcohol.

It is easier to pluck a flower than to nurture it

I have less energy than I did when I was a younger parent, although I was never really a young parent.

Trust happens when leaders are transparent.

So that is what hell is. I would never have believed it. You remember: the fire and brimstone, the torture. Ah! the farce. There is no need for torture: Hell is other people.

Love is selfless, it is a weakness, a giving in, a constant falling.

The only man you will ever get is some fool named Grady who falls asleep in his soup.
