You said it right the first time. She had to outgrow us eventually. Because, yeah, okay, I'll admit it. When I first started all the serious music stuff, it was because I wanted to be in the spotlight. I wanted to be something other than just that Stevenson girl or Danielle's best friend. I wanted to be...something that meant more. But these days? I don't care about fame. Sure, it's great to have connections and all, but I don't make music to sell records or have a fanbase or win awards. I make music because it's what speaks to me. It's the way I express myself. At the end of the day, I'm just Mandie. And that's all I'll always be. At least until Lyric starts school. Then I lose Mandie and become Lyric's mom.
We've all grown up. And as much as that sucks, it was bound to happen eventually. Just don't think you're getting rid of me, Royce. :P
