“You know, it's pretty easy reading this book to see why I was angry and confused for all those years.

“I forgive my mom for being a psycho and my dad for being a loser.”

“Beauty, to me, is kind, generous, and people that are humble.”

“I love the way my tattoos look. I especially love Japanese-style tattoos and being completely sleeved by them, so it's not just these little individual and unrelated pieces, but everything's working together to create a larger design.”

“I had to find the courage to turn my life around.”
