When did we become the adults? When did we become the ones who had to make the hard calls? One by one, we've all left our teenage years behind. College brought new challenges even as Bound Hearts brought us more.

Whether we're making music, love, war, games, or trouble, we've found a good balance. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Together, we know we can do anything.

We've learned that even being apart doesn't mean we aren't together.

Life has a habit of throwing curve balls. School, careers, new hobbies, friends in need, and family demands are hitting us from every angle. We're going to need each other more than ever.

Archie, Coop, Ian, Jake, and I are a team. We're constantly figuring it out and sometimes, we fight. We also make up.

And we'll have each other's backs, today, tomorrow, and into the future.
