"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

It’s crazy to think that i miss you, i never met you. Mom talks really good of you, tells stories about how you were the only sibling who wanted to play with her. I miss how my mom misses you, i think i miss you because of all the good things i heard about you, you seem so perfect and awesome i feel like i know you. I don’t know, i nver told mom i miss you, I remember how when i was little i used to talk to you and GG, i don’t know at least i knew GG but i didn’t know you, i thought it was so selfish to miss you, but i did, i still do. If you ever, somehow, read this i hope you’re good and happy. We really miss you, like a lot.

I finished reading your diary a few weeks ago in my literature class. That seems like such an awful thing to say. Just proclaiming to the world that I read something so private like that. However, it’s been published for the world to see, and it was assigned to read in class.

The most of the time I read your diary, I thought you were a spoiled brat who didn’t know how to be content. But one day I stopped and was thinking about things you had said. I thought about some of the things you had done. Then I realized you were like me, and that I was like you. Not a spoiled brat, but something more.

We’re both just teenage girls trying to live. Afraid and full of big dreams. But our fears won’t stop us, no. Those are the things that keep us going. Because we want to win.

I wonder how scared you actually were while staying in the Annex. I mean, did you think being raided was inevitable? Or were you not expecting it? I can’t imagine the anger that blazed inside you went you found out that someone had ratted you and your family out. I don’t think I would have been able ... Read more

I don’t know much about you. I haven’t read the series that you are in yet. However I do know that you are a son of Apollo. I just found out that I would be a daughter of Apollo. It seems kind of silly, taking quizzes to find out stuff like that. But I guess it kind of helps me feel like I know who I am. I wonder how you felt when Apollo claimed you. Did you feel like you had to fit into a certain stereotype? I hope you were just you. I feel a bit more complete now that I know this about me. I’ve always wanted to dress all cute and artsy, but I’ve gotten so used to being simple and wearing black I got too self conscious to do so. I’ll have to try when I get to go back to school. I feel like you would be really into Alternative and Indie Pop. Maybe you like classical music, I don’t know. I listen to people like Billie Eilish, Conan Gray, BTS, and a few other K-Pop and pop artists. I also like some classical music, but I mainly only listen to it when I’m reading. I ... Read more

Having a sister is like having a confidant, best friend and an enemy at the same time. You live knowing each other and seeing each other grow from a girl to lady and finally, a woman. However, you two face different phases in life which means, you do not go through each phase at the same time – in a way, you grow apart.

The challenge of having a sister is the challenge of communication. One thing that’s best to practice in sisterhood is communication. You do not grow together having the same struggles but if you do talk to each other and be each other’s reminders then maybe growing apart may not be that negative. I see a lot of sisters who grew up together and they still have a bond, as well I know sisters who grew up apart having a barrier. I wonder, what if they knew the magic of communication?

Laurel has seen in you so much positivity and light that when she saw you fly through the course of the wind; she found her world shut. She totally forgot of all other things than – my sister’s dead. It must have been hard for you to ... Read more

Desde que partiste hace 2 años pude descubrir que no todas las personas se encuentran bien por el simple hecho de sonreir, después de haber prestado a a tus canciones y tu libro logre ver que tu necesitabas ese descanso tan merecido que ahora tienes, espero que te encuentre bien (realmente bien) y que me estés viendo desde alguna estrella Deseo de todo corazón que tu gira por las estrellas este fantástica y que la disfrutes Te extraño mucho

hi baby, you’ve been gone for ten weeks and I miss you too much I’m having a panic attack or maybe an embarrassment attack because I need to do something for college but I feel, once again, so inadequate I feel like I don’t have any words I feel like I cant talk I feel like I cant say anything I feel like I’m gonna die I feel so bad and embarrassed and helpless and defeated and there’s nothing I can do about it jack last night I was listening to a recording I made last year of m having a breakdown and at one point I heard your voice you were in my recording and I’m so glad your voice was there but I feel so bad that it’s no longer here yesterday I told mom that life is good and that I like living and that even though life is shit a lot of the time it is also beautiful and there’s a lot for me to do still and I said “because yes jack died, but that was only one day. he lived with us for nine years and that’s what I keep” but I’m not sure I believe this I ...

Everything will be allright.

ya tiene 8 años desde que nos dejaste te extraño demasiado jamas pasamos tanto tiempo juntas ni me viste crecer realmente a ninguno de tus nietos jamas nos conociste a fondo pero eso no justifica que no sienta dolor por no haberte conocido a fondo al contrario me hubiera encantado conocerte mejor pero donde sea que te encuentres espero que te sientas orgullosa de mi la familia te extraña pero siempre estaras viva en nuestro corazones .

hi, so, I’m 20 years old. Its really a weird age grandpa, some of my friends are engaged, getting married, some are in probation or in jail for doing drugs. Its kind of confusing, I feel like its the age where everyone really have no choice but to act like an adult ? Idk. Some days, I wake up, I can’t believe that I’m 20 too. I feel like, every year, it really gets harder and harder. But, I really like to believe that I’m getting stronger too. But who knows if I’m really getting stronger? Can you believe that I’m graduating next year? Wouldn’t it be better if you got to see it in person too? :/ I hope you’re proud of me. I miss you, a lot.

a lot of years passed since I saw you the last time and I can say it still hurts when I think about you. I know that you wouldn’t want that I am still angry about the doctors but they did something wrong and I can never forgive them.

I miss you these days the most, especially when I have problems with boys or I struggle in school. I wanna talk with you about it, I wanna cry on your shoulder and I wanna hear your opinion. It was always important for me and it will always be.

Dear Grandma… I hope you are now on a happier place and you still look down to make sure that I am fine. I promise you that I will meet you on your on the other side. Until then, I try to make you proud of me.

I miss you so much and I love you to the moon and back. <3
