“I don't think you should ever have to apologize for your excitement. Just because it's something cliche doesn't mean that it's not something that's awesome. The worst kind of person is someone who makes someone feel bad, dumb or stupid for, like, being excited about something”

“They told me all of my cages were mental,
So I got wasted like all my potential.
And my words shoot to kill when I'm mad,
I have a lot of regrets about that.

Fell behind on my classmates, and I ended up here.
Pouring out my heart to a stranger,
But I didn't pour the whiskey.”
― Taylor Swift

“Never be so kind, you forget to be clever. Never be so clever, you forget to be kind.”
