"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

En primer lugar escribo esta carta en español por que quiero escribirte tal y como lo piensa…..No se si tal vez no estés muerta aún, pero sé que estarás pensando en ello…espero que durante todo el tiempo que debe de haber pasado, hayas encontrado la manera correcta de enfrentarte a tus problemas,nuestros problemas, la manera adecuada de corregirlos sin hacer sufrir a nadie, y menos a ti misma, sé que hace mucho tiempo(ahora mientras escribo esto) estabas haciendo eso,lastimándote, tal vez no siempre físicamente, pero si emocional y mentalmente, sé que antes(ahora) no hice las cosas bien para ninguna de las dos, quizás ahora tu estés pagando por ello, espero que entiendas que, realmente jamás quise hacerte daño, solo trataba de proteger a las personas de nuestro alrededor ¿ Cómo ?, fácil, haciendo como si no pasará nada, tragándome todo el dolor que tu alguna vez sentiste y que yo ahora siento; no quise hacer sufrir a nadie, por eso espero que en los próximos, días,meses o años, puedes manejar correctamente las cosas, me sentiría muy feliz al saber que lo harás, que sepas resolver tus problemas, y que puedas contar con las demás personas, por ...

i like you. you probably already know that and i know you will never see this so thats why im writing it. i once told you that i never knew what true love felt like. but now i do. you have showed me what it feels like to love so deeply that every time i see you i feel like you should be holding my hand instead of your girlfriends. in the past few days, i have learned some things about you. i learned that you told my best friend you would date her when shes older. you told that to me too. i wish i knew the truth. i wish i knew if you loved me back. you mean a lot to me. you always will.

I know you’re dead and that is such a shame, but i figured that it couldn’t hurt to write to you. I know i could have picked another dead person to write to and tell mt feelings, but i knew that if you were alive and sitting in front of me you would say something to make me laugh. You seemed like the kind of man who never wanted someone to be in pain. I think thats why you were in so many comedy movies. Anyway. A lot has happened to me in the past year. I moved, met a guy that i really like (but has a girlfriend), told someone i liked them when really i didn’t. I know that doesn’t seem like a lot, but to me that is all a really big deal. My parents fought for a big portion of the year and it really hurt me. I became someone that i’m not. I am usually very shy and i still am, but i also used to be really nice. But ever since my parents (they are still together) and this boy (who my best friend likes) and my best friend who is going through a ... Read more

I know you are dead but I want you to read this please take me I want to be with you not with anyone else. Just think about what it would be like if we to together again. Love you again read in that weird way you know what is going on from you own

I’m writing to you because you once said things do get better. And I don’t know, I was just wondering when maybe? Because that’s what I need. Some form of certainty that this won’t last forever. That I won’t always be so sad and that my dad won’t always be the dark cloud over my life. I know my grandma is about to join you, wherever the afterlife is. I’m not sure that I’m ready to let go of her yet but there’s nothing I can do. It’s like I feel my life falling about around me and I am utterly helpless. So if you are listening, when does it stop?

You are part of the reason as to why I became an actor. Your performances in Harry Potter and Love Actually pushed me to pursue the art of theatre. Thank you so much. I’m sorry that you aren’t here anymore, we all miss you. I wish I had gotten the chance to tell you this when you were here. I cried when I found out and nobody knew why. I’m going through a tough time and you’ve helped me so much… thank you so much.

So, the next time I cry because I watch Harry Potter and see you, some may ask, “After all this time?” and I’ll reply, in tears, “Always,”

Lumos.

Are you proud of me..? Are you happy to watch me from heaven? (I know that’s where you went, seems how “hell” wasn’t even in your vocabulary.) I’m not on the path you led me on when I was 5, I’m not on any path at all. I’m trying to make my own but I’ve only collected a few stones over the years and I don’t really know myself yet. But I wanted to know if, other than my actions pertaining to things you wouldn’t have wanted for me, if my heart, and my kindness and my strength has kept up with what it was while you were here. Remember you used to tell me “you’re going to be so tall.” Well, not really. A senior in high school and only standing at 4’9, you would be surprised how big I have to be to even be seen or heard. But I hope I’m as much of who you saw me to be as you would like, and I hope the rest was worth losing to help me find who I really am. I’m sorry about all the sins though. I love you.

are you dead ? soon you are. i konw were you live

The reason that I am writing this, is because I thought that you should understand how much you mean to me. Of course I like you. You’re smart, you’re funny, you’re handsome, you’re different, you’re crazy, you’re perfect in your own imperfect way, you always speak your mind, you have the best laugh. Of course I like you. You’re you. And I know that you will probably think that this is the most stupid thing you have ever seen, since you probably don’t like anything like this, especially love notes. But please, try to give this letter a chance. Last year, you were my favorite part of every day. You made my day great, amazing, and everything in between. On the days you were absent, or we didn’t have class, I felt alone and like my day was worthless. You brought me laughter on my saddest days, you brought me happiness on my hardest days, and you showed me how to have feelings for someone. You showed me how to be easy going and not as stressed out about school, I don’t know how you did, but you inspired me. I truly like you for that. I respect and admire ... Read more

I’m so sorry I wasn’t there when you needed me the most. I’m sorry I gave up on you when I pinky promised I wouldn’t. But it was too hard to sit there and watch you turn into someone I could hardly even recognize anymore. You gave up on yourself a long time ago and I didn’t see it until it was too late. There was nothing I could’ve said or done to help you, I know that now. I still could’ve stayed though. Held your hand and told you that everything would be okay even though we both knew it wouldn’t. That was my job and I failed because truthfully you were always so much better at it than I was. We both had crazy lives, but together it seemed perfect. Like we were soaring above the sky and nothing bad could ever touch us. Unfortunately, like all good things, it came crashing down in a giant stinking mess. I guess what I’m really sorry for is the fact that you were the best friend I ever had and I let you go for my own selfish reasons. You said it was okay but it wasn’t. ... Read more
