I cannot love, I want to be aloneI will not love, I want to be alone

If I don't have an outlet in which to express myself...throug h songwriting or other mediums...I get a bit jittery.

A friend is a friend forever And a good one will never leave, never

I'm a bit of a magpie: whatever I see or hear or read feeds into the songs.

Oh! To not need cognitive justification for every single thing. Wouldn't that be a life?

Womanhood is something you don't consider until it hits you.

Love and pain are not the same. But sometimes it feels like they should be. Love is put to test everyday. Pain is not. Yet the two of them are inseparable because true love cannot bear separation.

Christ came to transform us from never enough people - to more than enough people; that through his poverty we may become rich.

The more messes you allow into your life, the more messes will become a normal (and acceptable) part of your life.

Nothing we say is gonna save us from the fall out

I know what I'm having 'em put on my tombstone: 'I have nothing more to say'.
