A letter from the past |
Dear me
I hope you’re ok and not taking summer chem. Charlie just passed on January 12. Only a few moments after I got to school. I am not ok and not in peace.

But I can’t help but think I might feel better being in sun everyday, and that Charlie might have lived better, and if not coco would be less lonely.

And when I was writing this and starting to cry Riley B came in and made my stomach hurt laughing. And it must be a sign of a higher power protecting me. Maybe I was meant to stay home and maybe I am meant to be here and you can decide that when you get this
