"Soren... Soren... I'm not my mother, or my father. I don't need to live five places at once, or somewhere new every two weeks. I need... to know where I belong. I'll never say I'd rather my life had been different, but I feel like I've been lost since I was born. I don't need people to leave me to keep wandering. I need someone to find me and tell me I can stop. I need someone to tell me I've gone far enough and it's time to come home now."

I love you so much. All of you, however stupid you may think you are. I want you to know you can need me... I just don't know anything about life right now except that I want my life to be shared with you."
