The outside the lines to my inside the lines,
The rebel to my rule follower,
The bold colors to my nudes,
And though–
I’m safe, comfortable, calm
One look at you and my entire body shivers with potential adventure!

An epic journey ends today. Now, Je par, I go back Home sweet home– Filled to the brim I stand today: taller and stronger.
