People are always trying to change you. You know who you are, Lucas. Don't let them take that away from you.
Sometimes the greatest strength is in accepting help from others.

We all have secrets, but it's how we handle them that defines us.
The hardest battles are often fought within ourselves.
Don't let the darkness of your past dictate your future.
