Top 10 Best Quotes

“The boy with no direction taught me something unforgettable: happiness comes again if you let it.”

“I've become this happiness scavenger who picks away at the ugliness of the world, because if there's happiness tucked away in my tragedies, I'll find it no matter what.

“I’m more happy than not. Don’t forget me.”
