"But I wrote for myself—
A language only I could read,
Only I could feel."

"The thing is, when I’m surrounded by people I love and care about, I don’t always notice others around me—they’re busy living their own stories. But being loud has made me a part of other people’s stories too, and I’m not sorry for that."

"Every silly thing we did lasted a week before we moved on to the next thing that had us laughing until we lost our minds."

"A mask is just a bandage,
Holding things together
Temporarily."
