I believe in Heartbreak. I fell in love with an amazing girl. Granted I’m only 18 years old and most people doubted the maturity and promise behind my so called “love”. People told me that my youthfulness and raging hormones must have been confusing lust for love‚ that it’s natural at such a young age to mistaken the two. I’m sorry‚ but I had to disagree.

I believe in change. Not changing who you are on the outside or fixing who you are on the inside; but changing to be the best version of yourself.
