I really, really like this, which may be because I can really identify it.

My dance teacher says, “You have to be able to stand on your own before you can hold someone else up,” which is really true not just in ballet, but in life. Really well written!

This was awfully deep. Good in a sense that we kind of know what happened to her and her self discovery in such short words.

Echo the thoughts of someday and Mr.G. I know this feeling all too well and you captured it brilliantly. The hurt is really clear and concise.

Way to portray the change in a person, from thinking about how they relate to the past memory of another, to how they must take care of their own self! Though the shift from focusing on ‘you’ to ‘I’ threw me at first, because I wanted continuity, I do see what you did here and I like it.

I can’t help but wonder what it means that the other person doesn’t protect themself… Are they under fire socially? In what way is this weakness portrayed?
Great job.
