Favorite Quote:
It’s sad when people you know become people you knew, when you can walk right past someone like they were never a big part your life, how you used to be able to talk for hours and how now you can barely even look at them. But everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go. Things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they go right. You believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart, so that better things can fall together.

You wear me down time and time again,
Yet I live for that sultry, bittersweet pain.
You wear me only to make you look good. But it’s okay-
The looks I get in an hour are worth a thousand lonely nights in shoebox.
