“What I’m starting to realize is that when you conform, people are not accepting you for who you are. They’re accepting you for who they think you are.”

“Self-love is when you are genuinely happy not with the image you see in the mirror, but the person you see.”

“True change doesn't happen overnight; it has to happen gradually. You first have to have a change of heart, then a change of mind, and then your actions will follow.”

“The good thing about being numb is that no one can hurt you, but the bad thing about being numb is that no one can love you.”

“I strongly believe that you have to get lost to find yourself.”

“People can say anything, but a person’s actions show how they truly feel about you. Actions express priority.”

“We want to change our surroundings, but we don't want to change ourselves. We are so quick to point out others' flaws, but can't admit our own. We complain about the problems with society, but don't offer a solution or acknowledge that we could be a part of the problem. And once we feel like we've outgrown a problem, instead of sharing what we've learned from our experience, we act so enlightened and better than the next man.”

“Learn how to control your emotions and don't let them control you.”

“I think the times that we're fucked up and lost in the world bring us closer to figuring out who we are.”
