18 year gone by so quick. From learning how to walk to almost crossing stage into the chapter of this life of mine. 

Age 6 your innoconce taken so quick but by 17 you understood that it wasn't your fault. Found the beauty in such tradgey. Found the love in yourself that no one could take away. 

One major event that may tear me apart from time to time.

Momma? Dad? Do you see the strength you've passed down to me?

From learning not to cry when I fall to my 1st heart break. It's you who you have tuaght me to be strong. Love each and every part of me. 

Age 13 : Image... That's all that matter. What brand you wore or even how much you weighed. Damage that all it caused to my mental state to even my physcial. 

I'm so sorry for the damage I've caused to myself. But theres no other person i want to protect but you. 

It took 18 years with just these two event to show the growth of a young girl. To learn to love with such passion and no regret. The love parents who never gave up on me. Thank you for that. Cheers to 18 and many more.
