life. If you write for a living, you make enormous compromises….

not what pays”

“Anything you can aquire is only another thing you'll lose.”

“At some point, your memories, your stories, your adventures, will be the only things you'll have left.”

“There's always a voice saying the right thing to you somewhere, if you'll only listen for it.”

“As we grow up we learn that even the person that wasn't supposed to ever let
you down probably will. You will have your heart broken probably more than once
and it gets harder every time. You'll break hearts too, so remember how it felt
when yours was broken. You'll fight with your best friend. You'll blame a new
love for things an old one did. You'll cry because time is passing too fast, and
you'll eventually lose someone you love, so take many pictures, laugh too much
and love like you've never been hurt because every sixty seconds you spend upset is one minute of happiness you'll never get back.”

“Best friends are important. They're the closest thing to a sister you'll ever have.”

“The most important thing in life is to love what you're doing, because that's the only way you'll ever be really good at it.”
