You're on Your Own, Kid

This is a discharge letter to youth: those who cheered and carried you, eventually you're on your own. Haven't you found "relying on yourself" isn't a choice, it's just growing up?

It writes "independence" bittersweet. Taylor, in a cheer beat, tells a "I became my own audience" relief. You'll sting, then stand tall.
