I had a lot of hurts and confusions. You know, it's hard when you're a kid to be different. You're all full of things, and you don't know that it's about.
Janis Joplin

Don't compromise your self, you're all you got.
Janis Joplin
Image
To be true to myself, to be the person that was on the inside of me, and not play games. That's what I'm trying to do mostly in the whole world, is not bullshit myself and not bullshit anybody else.
Janis Joplin
Image
If you've got a today, don't wear it tomorrow. Tomorrow never happens. It's all the same day.
