I am from spending hours at the firehouse,

growing up around trucks and commotion.

I am from spending weekends up north,
waking up to boats speeding past and birds chirping.

I am from midnight drives with the music loud,
to getting lost hours away from home.

I am from being up for an adventure,
to hiding away in my room under the covers.

I am from going out on weekends,
to staying home watching movies and relaxing.

I am from a stress free life,
to being paranoid about what happens next.

I am from a group of friends,
to realizing who was there when things got tough.

I am from being a giggly and happy girl,
to trying to find myself.

I am from seeing the light in the darkness,
knowing there are better things to come in the future.
