What an absolute priceless gift it is to feel so embraced by people who build your sparkle in this life & make you feel seen.

"This past year has taught me more than I could even begin to describe, in such a way that I feel so sentimental and nostalgic over it. It’s given me the chance to feel a multitude of emotions in the most extreme way, and it’s because of that that I was able to see the beauty in all of life.

"What a gift it is to cry so much that you run out of steam to keep crying, and then find yourself one day laughing so hard that tears run down your face from pure joy. To know the feeling of picking yourself off the floor with more questions than answers, and then find yourself reflecting on that time with so much newfound peace in your heart.

"I’m truly so thankful for the chapter of 26, and I do believe heavily in this new chapter of life… "

She continued: "Here’s to 27, I’m curious and so excited to see what it will bring and who I’ll have become by the end of it."

Roommates, Madison's most recent project, released to mix reviews this year and sits at a respectable 68 percent Rotten Tomatoes score.
