Dear Finch,

You are only a book character that isn’t even from the book that this website was based on. But you were so real to me, because all of your feelings were so deep and unique that you felt like a real person, seeking help and not seeking help. With that, you got somewhere and nowhere because you met Violet. To be honest, I didn’t like reading from Violet’s point of view most of the time because I didn’t connect with her character like I did with yours. The only thing I really liked about her was that her presence seemed to make you feel better about things. In the end, however, Violet didn’t really help you because you still committed suicide.
Throughout your story, I always had this feeling that you’d end up taking your own life one way or another. I don’t know why, but when it happened I just wasn’t surprised. The weird thing is, I wasn’t disappointed about it either. It wasn’t one of those situations where I cry at the end of the book because something tragic happened. I don’t know what happens to people after they die, so all I felt I could do was hope that you ended up somewhere better for you. And you’re only a book character.
To tell the truth, I wrote to you because I don’t have any dead person that I miss or that truly inspires me, but I felt I still needed to write to someone. I’m not sure exactly what I needed to get out by writing to you, but whatever it was, it’s out, and now I feel better.
And all I have left to give you is my favorite quote, which is from your story, and I feel like if you were real, it’s what I’d say to you.
“May your eye go to the sun, to the wind your soul. You are all the colors in one, at full brightness.”
Love
