"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

Why did you go? I was little but you left. I never knew you but whenever I think of something it some how ends up being about you. You left me to face my own battles. To see how cruel and vicious the world is. But also to find the hidden beauty in all of it. Wherever you are I imagine you watching over me and that scares me. It’s scary to think that you can see all my flaws and mistakes. I always think if you were here what would you think of me. I was this positive ,bubbly person and out of nowhere I could only see darkness. Sometimes I can be the happiest person ever but other times I just want to take life’s clock and smash it against the floor. Every time we go and visit your grave I don’t know what to say because I feel like I’ve disappointed you. How I’m wasting my life being sad while you never got the chance to live yours. When I think of you I imagine you as my guardian angel looking after me. Fighting battles against the demons in my head I’m just scared that one day they’ll win and I’ll be stuck in a pit of darkness but no matter what happens, I want you to know that I love you . That even though you’re not here with me you’ll always be in my heart. And I hope that one day ill make you proud. Never forget I love you . Always
