“I like people whose eyes tell stories and whose smiles have fought through wars. If you’re perfect, chances are we aren’t going to get on. If you’re one of the cool kids, chances are, you won’t like me. You see, what I want is authentic. What I want to see is your purity; I want to see the way you wear your scars, I want to see how brave you are with your vulnerability, how emotionally naked you let the world see you. Your damage may not be beautiful, but it has made you exquisite. It makes you original, different — and one of my kind of people because people like you are the most incredible things about this world.”
