Really great Quote by Sarah Dessen

“There was something really great about being able to put something out into the world—a song, an introduction, even my voice—and let people make of it what they wanted. I didn't have to worry about how I looked, or if the image of me people had fit who I really was.” quote by Sarah Dessen
