Being yourself is one of the hardest thing because it's scary you always wonder whether you'll be accepted for who you really are.

Everyone messes up in relationships and has peaks and valleys in their personal lives. When I realized it wasn't the end of the world and I would keep on standing, I knew it was going to be OK.

The history of a soldier's wound beguiles the pain of it.

Murder most foul, as in the best it it; But this most foul, strange, and unnatural.
