AN: Just a little Finn introspection for "Mash-Up". Hope you all like it!
Prompt: Lux - "And when those unknowns are too overwhelming, it's the constants that we have to hold onto. Like our friends. The ones who are not afraid to tell us that there's no such thing as normal. The ones who have been in our lives for every minute with you, even the hardest minutes. Like those who could have walked away, but chose to stick around. Even though they had their own lives, families. Their own children. Like our parents, because we wouldn't be here without them. Who pick us up when we fall, who come when we call them, who answer the door when we knock." - 'Life UneXpected'
