We all should choose our friends carefully.
I used to think that no one could know me better than somebody else,
because you're inside yourself, your body, you can't see yourself.
If you think like that, you surround yourself with
other people who are willing to tell you who you are,
which are usually judgmental people ...
we should really surround ourselves with the ones
that adore us and believe in the highest of us.

because your hands physically manifest thought.
So your world becomes what you feel and what you think.

If I could tell the world just one thing
it would be we're all okay,
and not to worry cause worry is wasteful
and useless in times like these.

I won't be idle with despair,
I will gather myself around my faith.
Light does the darkness most fear.

Suffering is everywhere. Don't ever think it isn't.

this is me down on my knees.

I'm having a bad day. I am not size six.
My legs are not skinny as sticks,

I'm afraid that I can't satisfy myself
and that my happiness depends on someone else.
I feel weak, so you're gonna take the fall.
You're so shallow.

A man who will Kiss the Flame.

I need to figure out how to be happy...
and I'm willing.

You always feel better when you sing.
Music touches people's hearts.

it just moves you and it will let you cry.
It's worth it doing a show
and when you touch a crowd
and move yourself at the same
