But Now, I Am Also Learning This:

I Look Older. Maybe It's The Short Hair Or Maybe It's Just That I Wear All That Has Happened Like A Mask. Either Way, I Always Thought I Would Be Happy When I Stopped Looking Like A Child. But All I Feel Is A Lump In My Throat. I Am No Longer The Daughter My Parents Knew. They Will Never Know Me As I Am Now.

It's Easy To Be Brave When They're Not My Fears.

Sometimes, The Best Way To Help Someone Is Just To Be Near Them.

But Now I Know How Large The World Is... Well. I Suppose I Have Grown To Large Out Of My Faction. As A Consequence.

Some People Will Always Fear Change. But We Can't Indulge Them.
