"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

You’ve helped me more than any living being in front of me.
I started listening to your music at the age of 11 when my uncle came over.
We started talking about music. I at the time did not have a huge interest in music, but he has always like you and your music. In fact you are his favorite band as well as mine. That night he made me listen to multiple different songs by multiple different artist and bands. He made me listen to, AIC (your band obviously… The guys are doing very well with their new music by the way) he also made me listen to Stone Temple Pilots, Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Soundgarden, Staind, Breaking Benjamin, ect. But you and your band stood out the most. I loved what your music had to say. And I still do. I done so much research on you and AIC. I’ve talked to your mom. She is such a sweet lady. I should really email her again. It’s been a few years… Sorry Nancy. You were and still are the only person help me get through my depression. You’ve stopped me from killing myself as well as self harming. Your music has helped me so much, and I’m beyond grateful for that. I dunno where I’d be without you. I’ve always felt like you understood me on a deeper level that most people would. I am now 13 almost 14 years old and my life is still a living hell. My depression and suicidal tendencies are worse than ever. I still listen to your music when I’m like that. Which seems to be more often than usual. But you always seem to find a way to get me to pull through and not give up on life just yet. So thank you. I miss you even though I never met you. I wish I could have, but sadly you over dosed the year I was born. I wish you could have stayed strong longer than you did. But I’m proud of you for making it as long as you did. I hope Demri is doing well as well. She was such a beautiful young lady. I would die to have a face like hers. But anyways I hope you’re doing well and thank you. So, so much. I love you.
