Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

I need to be strong, no one can see me like this. I need to be strong like she taught me to be.

Be like a phoenix, Maddy. Blossom and grow from the ashes of your heart, and never give up. If you do, I just come back and cheer you on!
And don't ever be afraid to let someone see you cry. After all, you're human, but the world is yours. I know you can do anything. I have complete faith in you.

I'll always be here to support you. No matter what. My alligence is unmoveable to my friends.

My tears are short and yes, they will fall for tonight, because shifting is a hard thing for anyone. But for my friends.... I can shift and still smile.

Tomorrow will be hard. I must hold me head up like a queen and not ever care about my ashes. Madelyn... you are not my ashes. You are the feathers in my wing that support me.

Thank you for these weeks. I've grown to become a woman now. I thank you for that.
