• Little world, full of little people
  shouting for recognition, screaming for love,

  they worked hard enough to reach them.

• I started making choices based on what I wanted, and didn’t feel like I needed to justify them. If I wanted to cut my hair, I did it. If I wanted to move to New York, I did it.
