"More than a stunning debut. It is the announcement of a bold new literary voice"
—Stephen Chbosky, author of The Perks of Being a Wallflower

I am so sorry I was not a better friend to you. Im sorry I left for college and barely spoke with you. Im sorry I didn’t ask how you were doing before telling you how great I was. I miss you so much. I struggled for so long to understand why you left this world. I thought it was my fault for not protecting you and caring enough as a friend. I finally stopped crying when I hear your song. I understand that there’s a plan for all of us on this earth, I just wish you could’ve lived a longer life. I’m sorry it took so long for me to be able to talk about you, or to you. I’ve just never experienced the loss of someone so close to me, and it made me emotional for so long because I didn’t know who to go to. I kept all my feelings inside because no one else truly knew how to help me. I miss you everyday and I know you’re with me. Thank you for always being there for me, I love you, rest in peace.
