I really like how you talk about growning up and leaving the parents protection because so many poepl are going trough that right now and it all makes soo much sense!

This is sad, but true. People break away from their parents. I think I don't rely on them for everything, but I would feel so much less without them. Growing up just sucks though. Sorry, random thoughts just flowing from my fingertips. Great job.

Clearly represents the separation of child and parent. Nicely done.

Just like when you hit 300, I forgot to say it there. So it shall be said now: HAPPY 400! Why do I always forget? ;/

Oh, the poem: Sounds familiar. *sigh* We're so small and trusting, then everything changes and we're not the same person anymore... great job.
