Barefoot travel allows you to get the true feel of a place.

I believe in myself. I believe in my vision, my life, my talent, my art. More than anyone. No one can take that away from me.

I am afraid to show you who I really am, because if I show you who I really am, you might not like it--and that's all I got.

Telling the truth is like exposing the underside of our wings. We only see that part when we fly.

I feel quite lost INSIDE myself, like I'm looking for my train tracks for my life, as if they would just appear and solve the growing questions I seem to face (my reflection in the morning).

I have learned that trying again is important and decisivness is good. I have learned that silence hurts. I have learned about starting over and releasing pride.

I have learned that frustration is allowed and talking it through is necessary.

I have learned that I am enough... I have learned that no one else can LOVE ME - FOR ME.
