"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 always need someone to talk to but whenever i find a person i can never seem to convey my thoughts and emotions. I’m a crybaby; more so than before. The thing i want so much makes me cry but the thought of doing it also scares me to tears.

Do you know how awful it feels to realize that you’re useless and that you bring everyone around you down?

if i weren’t scared i’d go and be with you. I miss you.

7th grade has been a tough year for me, I had to do an art project in art class. It was pop art, so we had to choose a celebrity that meant something to us and then we would make a pop art picture. I chose you and I used a picture of your character Ziggy Stardust it made me feel proud to use a person that was open about your sexuality and I Was happy to share this with my classmates. So, thank you for being an inspiration to me. Your influence on this world is greatly appreciated, and will never be forgotten.

It’s me again, and I’m proud to say that my days are becoming more…joyful at some point. I know this won’t ever reach you, cos letters written in the future cannot reach the past. Anyways, I still hope that somewhere, in another universe, you do receive this. I continue to hope even after my passing, although that’s not gonna happen for like a ton of decades anyway. So yeah, I just keep hoping, cos remember my quote:

“Always hope, but never expect.”

I have a few questions. 1) is how you just let Eliza take Hamilton, I mean she was your sister and you loved him. I am kind of going through the same thing only with my best friend. I really need some advice. 2) is if you ever regretted letting him go. You are really a big role model in my life and I hope that you are happy where ever you are.

Sometimes life without you gets hard. My mom talks about you a lot and I wonder what you were like even though we met but I was one two or one. I can’t remember. But I wish you could just come down and say hello to me at least one last time. Maybe spend the day at the movies with my mom and I or go out to the park and buy some ice cream. Hope to see you soon

No one will ever fill the space you left in my heart when I was 7 years old. I wish you could see my babies growing. I always hoped that you had left me a letter. For years I thought you had died that way, without anything to pass along to talk about how to live without you. But then I found out there was one, but not addressed to me. To Dad. I’ve never read it even thought he seems to think my sister has. I will always love you. I will always miss you every day I’m alive.

Sweetheart, what can I say? I loved you. I still would, but you left. You died. What you left behind…I’m sorry. I’m sorry that you turned out this way. You were the best part of my life. I am sorry for everything I put you through. I am sorry for the OCD. I am sorry for leaving you behind. Depression didn’t kill me successfully. But it killed you. 7th grade, you were already gone, but you left behind some part of you. 7th grade, 8th grade, Prozac, 9th grade. They took you from me. They stole you. I can’t even turn to Pony Pony anymore, you know? You always turned to her. But she is too small for my grief. She can’t hold it. She is broken too. I am looking into your face. You were happy, joyful even. You weren’t a brat. You weren’t messed up. You were the good child. The smart child. The best child. You cared. You knew what you were doing most of the time. You were even beautiful. I miss you. Every single day. I think of you. Of what I would give to go back to you. To be you again. To play ... Read more

It had been more than a year since you left me alone here forever. Initially, I found it was very hard for me to let you go to afterlife as I loved you the most than everybody else in this world since you were my life tutor who taught me everything from A until Z about truth meaning of life. Anyway, I promised to myself that one day, I will visit your cemetery just to tell you that I am currently a medical officer as you wished for a long time ago. I will become a better doctor than someone else. Frankly speaking, I love you very much as I always tries to make your name proud in front of the world. By the way, I am currently to find a sweetheart that will be become your replacement as I once took care you very much during my childhood. Although you have left the world for a long time ago, you will be always in my heart along with my late guinea pig, Bobbi as all of you have been my sunshine in my life back then. Sleep tight there, Abah. See you again in afterlife, once ... Read more

Okay idk why I’m actually writing this since I only got here bc I have to do a book presentation about Love letters to the dead but yeh I guess I’m just gonna write a letter to you. You died only 2 days ago and even tho I only know 3 of your songs and I don’t know you at all, I’m like really sad and I miss you kinda. I remember hearing waiting for love for the first time and it flashed me omg I love that song so much! And now I’m listening to this song again and it makes me cry really hard. I just wanna tell you that your music is always gonna be alive, that we all miss you and i hope that you’re taking care of your family and friends right now bc I think they’re having a really hard time at the moment. I hope you good ♥

I miss you more than words could ever explain. I would give literally anything to have you here. I will never understand why you were taken from this world so soon. I never got to hold you or play with you or even see you. Not a day goes by that I don’t wish I could have you with me. I am never not thinking of you and the life you would have had. I just wish you were here so bad. It’s not fair. I’ll never understand why you had to go. I suppose you were too beautiful for Earth.
