saved
When I say music saved me, I don't say that lightly.
feel-better interesting trying
We try to create this interesting appearance to make ourselves feel better about ourselves.
feels-right feels ifs
I don't tend to question things that much. If it feels right, I go for it.
confidence kids insecure
I was a pretty insecure kid, didn't have a lot of friends, and was picked on a lot, and music gave me confidence.
meaningful people creative
Music is very nebulous, and you can conjure up a lot of moods with music. But lyrics - they're a lot more tangible. They're much more specific. And you want to say something meaningful and creative and artistic and that tells a story and that takes people someplace else.
world worthwhile offers
Music gave me a sense that I was worthwhile and that I had something of value to offer the world even though everybody was telling me that I didnt.
people trying want
If you only try to please others, you're going to resent those people you're trying to please; the ones who are often closest to you. If you choose a path that you yourself want to take, then you're going to be much kinder to the people in your life.
night light darkness
Once there was a darkness, a deep and endless night, you gave me everything you had and oh, you gave me light
beautiful time years
Time is a beautiful thing. It's like when you meet an old lover on the street six years later and they don't look so ugly anymore.
loving-yourself trying trust-myself
I've learned to trust myself, to listen to truth, to not be afraid of it and to not try and hide it.
names long gone
You've been gone so long from all that you know. It's been shuffled aside as you bask in the glow. All the beauitful strangers who whisper your name, do they fill up the emptiness? Larger that life is your fiction, in a universe made upon one.
inspirational thinking ease
I think a lot of contemplation happens in bathtubs. It does for me. Nothing like a hot bath to ease the tension and think about what's going to happen next.
thinking people important
We're constantly being told what other people think we are, and that's why it is so important to know yourself.
heart romance desire
Colleen McCullough taught me that desire is the heart of romance.
