You only get so many firsts, each one is a blessing.

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.

People are going to judge you anyway, so you might as well do what you want.

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

A dream comes from within you. It is what you were created to do, so it has always been there.

The trick in minimizing dark moments, no matter how tragic they may be, is to have ambitions placed far beyond them.

Heart thoughts are profound, hindsight aches and hope is obscure. I'm craving a great adventure -- one that leads me back home.

When you are quiet, you see everything with love.

In Europe, anti-Americanism is much more a hobgoblin of the political, cultural, and religious elites.

My thought is, if you're a book lover, you're going to enjoy winning a book even if it's not something you'd ordinarily pick up on your own. It's a chance to expand your horizons a little.
