It's not life in the present moment that is intolerable; the pain we are avoiding has already happened. We are living in reverse.

Treat yourself as if you already are enough. Walk as if you are enough. Eat as if you are enough. See, look, listen as if you are enough. Because it's true.

It's never been true, not anywhere at anytime, that the value of a soul, of a human spirit, is dependent on a number on a scale.

If I am part of a group of 100 people, do 99 people have the right to sentence me to death, just because they are majority?

I don't write songs in order to stick it to my exes. I don't release underground dis tracks.

I'm cursed with this puritanical streak that makes me want everything to be about something. It's a terrible affliction.
