Writing is such a weird emotional thing. It's hard. If you sit down with a plan to write something, it's going to be harder.

I was never one to sit down and write a plan for my future.

Yes, it's hard to write. But it's harder not to.

Brokenness is just like beauty; it's something we wear and carry, and if we let it define us, it will. But we are not our beauty or our brokenness, because souls are not made of beauty or brokenness. Souls are made of something permanent. Souls are made of truth.

There is nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and bleed.

I don't sit down and say I'm going to write a song about this or that. They are never mapped out.
