I was always the frugal kid growing up because I was saving for college. Or I was always that kid that was like, 'I'm going to save my babysitting money so I can eat an expensive dinner when I go to Europe.'
You forget that you do choose your life, and there are so many things to be grateful for. I feel like society has gotten to that point where we're always looking for the next and the better, and we lose sight of what's actually in front of us.
Have you thanked your body today? Be grateful, stay positive.
As a teenager, my struggle was how do I balance being empathetic and compassionate towards my peers, while also living my life for myself and not basing my decisions on those around me, and really living a life where I receive my happiness from my own experiences rather than from people pleasing.
I fall in love with human beings based on who they are, not based on what they do or what sex they are.
Everything is out of your control, and you can only be truthful about how you feel.
I think there is a point in every teenager's life where they are forced to come into themselves.
If I'm passionate about something, I'll do everything I can to be a part of it.
I definitely live for the small moments and the big moments.
I'd like to be like a hummingbird. You see them every now and then. You don't see them everywhere.
I think every teenager goes through their angst. People who are like, 'No, I had a perfect adolescence,' make me wonder how that is possible.
The reason I keep acting is that it fuels some kind of passion in me, but the day that those butterflies stop, is the day that I'm gonna quit because I could care less about the magazines or being famous or the money or the awards.
There are a lot of mountains with a lot of water.
Do you guys have any raw garlic?
