She acknowledges that life is full of choices and fears, but she is determined to face them. Along the way, she believes that there is someone waiting for her and that her dreams will come true. She hopes to find a sense of home, love, and family, and feels that her life is just beginning. She takes each step and hope one at a time, not knowing where the road will lead, but she is confident that she will find her future and the things her heart still needs to know. She sees this journey as a sign and a way to bring her back to her past. She continues to trust her heart and courage, knowing that they will see her through and bring her home at last.
