My favorite place in the whole world is Nashville. Because it's my home, it's Music City. It's like, everybody there is so artistic and so creative, and nice! Everybody's really friendly.

I'm captivated by you, baby, like a firework show.

I'm shining like fireworks over your sad, empty town

you're an expert at sorry and keeping the lines blurry

You are the only one who gets to decide what you will be remembered for.

Believe in everything you do. Believe in your mistakes and grow from them.

No matter how bad your day is, just be grateful this day is added to your life.

I still love writing in my journal and wearing sparkly dresses and looking at old chandeliers.

People are going to judge you anyway, so you might as well do what you want.

I think every girl's dream is to find a bad boy at the right time, when he wants to not be bad anymore.

I wish all teenagers can filter through songs instead of turning to drugs and alcohol.

What does it feel like to be lonely? It feels like being hungry: like being hungry when everyone around you is readying for a feast.

The wisest word man reaches is the humblest he can speak.

Remembrance is a strange thing. With love its pain is bearable. With bitterness it simply destroys.

I want for myself what I want for other women, absolute equality.

Oily marks appear on walls / Where pleasure moments hung before

Whenever you write for someone else, you're always aware - sometimes overtly, other times at an almost cellular, subliminal level - of the rules about what you can and can't do.

People are always backing up when I'm just going to shake their hands.

I'm sorry. I can love you. I can grieve for you, or with you. I can share your pain. But I cannot judge you.

The last verse that became clear to my vision that day was this: "Give thanks in all circumstances, for this is the will of God's in Christ Jesus for you."

I'm definitely somewhat of a tomboy. I grew up a pretty big tomboy actually, and was really obsessed with basketball.
