It had been one heck of a year with everything I had been through with Daniel and school. But I came out of it stronger. With a bit of guidance from Michael and help from my family, I could move on.

Finals came, and so did our parents to collect us. I wasn’t sad it was over. It relieved me. I was ready to go forward instead of living in the past.

/"Thanks, Dad./"

/"I’m proud of you, Lyric./"

/"You are?/"
