There they stood. Jane, Sarah and Kylie. In our apartment. They wanted to stay with us. They wanted to be with us and all live together. They were ready to grow up. Mrs. Babley knew where we all where and were okay with it. She knew it would happen sooner or later. We have to visit her for a hour each month just to see where we are.
As I looked at all my friends. I sat there and realized something. I was ready. I was ready to let people into my life. I didn't need to keep pushing people away.
Not everyone's gonna hurt me-not everyone's gonna hurt us.
And I'm done-so done-keeping people at arms length. Here we were. Standing there hugging. Together.
