Sooner or later in life, we will all take our own turn being... - Ashly Lorenzana

"Never try to do anything that is outside of who you are. A forced smile is a sign of what feels wrong in your heart, so recognize it when it happens. Living a lie will reduce you to one."

"All we know is what we're told."

"You know all that sympathy that you feel for an abused child who suffers without a good mom or dad to love and care for them? Well, they don't stay children forever. No one magically becomes an adult the day they turn eighteen. Some people grow up sooner, many grow up later. Some never really do. But just remember that some people in this world are older versions of those same kids we cry for."

"Never do anything that you can't admit doing, because if you are that ashamed of whatever it is, it's probably wrong."

"You never know what lurks just beneath the surface of my fragile sanity."
