This Is Gonna Hurt: Music, Photography, And Life Through The Distorted Lens Of Nikki Sixx

Love those who hurt you the most, because they are probably the ones closest to you. They, too, are on a path, and just like you they are learning to walk before they can fly. Imagine if everybody you hurt in life turned their backs on you? You would be playing a hell of a lot of solitaire. Love them no matter what.

Friends tell each other what nobody else is willing to tell you.

Life can be cruel. It´s been my struggle, my personal battle, my obsession to make people see that different isn´t always bad.

Live in the moment. Moments make history.

Just let it happen and, I promise you, all that is magic will appear.

In life, when the baggage gets too heavy, you have to put it down.

I don’t fear death; I welcome it with open arms and a smirk. But until that wondrous day, I will continue to savor and celebrate all those who have graduated before me.

Life is full of so many false starts and abrupt finishes and unexpected detours. Just when you think you have it all figured out, something new comes along and rips the rug out from under you.

Meanwhile, my experience has shown me that beneath the darkest of visages usually gleams the softest of hearts.

Some days when you get out of your own way, and just put one foot in front of the other, amazing things happen. Like in the past, in my life, and the future in yours.
