in Texas
October 25th, 2001
When you grow up it's like you get your view of the world and all the people in it focuses. Your thrown into a completely new reality. So much you depended on is now out of sight.
You now can better see your parents for what they are, not just mom and dad.
Your friends who have been there since the begining of forever are growing too and they're not the same anymore, they're entirely different people. What happened to them?
Your parents tell you They're going through changes and need space but, so are you.
You have relied on these people for support for years.
Now they've left you out, on your own in the middle of "growing up"
