Miles to Go

The minute you stop making mistakes is the minute you stop learning.

There are multiple sides to all of us. Who we are - and who we might be if we follow our dreams

Embarrassment is the worst! It's the feeling of having your entire body go numb and not knowning what to do with yourself for that one moment

It's hard to imagine that our love is a story with an end. But you know, at least I'm getting some really good songs out of it

The biggest moments of insecurity come when all self-confidence is lost and you feel like people are watching and judging. It should be the opposite. You should feel like the people who are watching care about you. This is something we can try to give each other – the feeling that eyes signal support, not disdain.

The dreams that you hold for your future are what you dream about at night. They’re always at the back of your mind. They’re what your heart desires. They keep you going. Accept reality and have a backup plan, but always follow your dreams no matter what.

It’s the little things that make us who we are in the bigger world.

The greatest opportunities in life come with fear and risk.

When you are ready to move on or if you come to peace with pain, you’ll find a silver lining.

Little moments attach themselves to other little moments and collect into big dreams. We become what we experience.

Even the hard times are part of your life story. If you acknowledge them and move past them, they eventually add up to the experience that makes you wise.

You need to see things, REALLY see them, feel them, live them, so you know what’s big and what’s little, what matters and what to put aside.

This is a new point in my life, and things are totally changing. But like the sunsets I saw on Tybee Island, the miles I’ve already gone are going to stay with me.

For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. You never know what it’s going to look like on the other side, but you’ll see it eventually if you keep your eyes open.

Do what you are afraid to do.

Music is the love of my life. It’s a total escape from reality. Music transports you to another place, someplace unexpecet and meaningful.

You deal. You survive. You grow up and you build a career. And you remember these big/little hardships. They make you human.

Sit back, enjoy the ride and hang out with me for a little while. ( sorry, cheesy driving metaphor!)

Dad always says that I could sing before I could talk

It is important to ask yourself why you’re doing what you’re doing and what purpose it serves in the big picture.

The reason I never want a book to end is that I start to feel like the characters are my friends. I'll miss them when they're gone.

Beauty is the enemy. We try to conquer not feeling beautiful all our lives. It’s a battle that can’t be won. There’s no definition of beauty. The only way to achieve beauty is to feel it from inside without breaking it down into individual physical attributes.

It’s hard to imagine that our love is a story with an end.
