"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 were the one person in my life that I could tell anything too. You were the best listener, and you would never judge me. My life has changed a lot ever since you passed away from lung cancer that developed into brain cancer, about one year ago. I wish that I could be talking to you right now and just sitting with you. Now I feel like I am alone, with no one to talk too. I truly believe that you are keeping me strong, because I have not even cried once since you died. I don’t even know how that is possible because I loved you more than I have ever loved anyone in my whole life. I think about you all the time, and I watch videos and look at pictures of us together, but nothing. It’s like I have no feeling because I don’t even start to get sad, or happy remembering the times we had. I’m just like a soulless rock out in the wild. I wish that is not how I was but it just is. My grandpa makes me feel bad about it, he tells me that ... Read more

I’m sorry I never got the chance to love you and hold you close at night and take the rope and chair away from you so these hearts wouldn’t be so broken. It hurts to see these people hurting and burning things in bonfires that make them upset, chopping wood with axes to get the word suicide out of their head, or smoking in attempt to cloud over the memories of you in a casket. AJ, you mother loved you, no matter who you were. You didn’t have to leave. I wish you wouldn’t have left. We are all hurting.

I remember how overprotective you are to me and my siblings when you were still here. I remember being angry with it because you’ll not let us have fun like some other kids outside you’ll always said “it’s dangerous” and deep inside I’ll hate you for that. But daddy? Now that you’re gone, when I realized how cruel the world is. I suddenly told myself. You’re right, I should have known what you said is true. I should have built walls upon myself. Especially my heart. I miss you so much, daddy. I know things will never be the same without you. I love you and I hope you’re always there watching us, protecting us like what you always do..

I love you now for a very long time, but since you’re gone, my heart aches so much, like it never did before. Please come back. I love you…

I first saw you in a park where you sat alone on the grass watching the other kids play, little 7 year old me hesitated to talk to you but eventually after a few minutes of pondering I grew up the courage to sit beside you. Now, I cant really remember all the details as to who talked first but that day was the start of our friendship which well developed into something more over the years. Everything was perfect, we were in sync together like two peas in a pod, some even said that we were made for eachother; soulmates. We were opposites but similar at the same time. We like writing but unlike me, you were always so shy to show everyone your poetry. I remember that we had a conversation about death before you died and I think that somehow you were preparing me for that day. Were you really thinking about your own death? I am angry at you and at myself. I am angry at you because you didnt tell me that you were dying. I am angry at myself because I was oblivious to the fact that your health was deteriorating; that the cancer ... Read more

I really miss you! It’s been 3 months without you. We had an amazing friend ship . Starting high school was hard without you, but I’m trying to get through it. I wish I had more time with you but I I know you fought hard. Everyone here misses you. The day of homecoming I went over to Hannah’s for the first time and I saw she lived right next to you!! I saw your mom she was walking pipa and I forget the other name !😬 I should have said hi but I felt like it was wrong. She couldn’t see her own daughter go to how coming . Btw love you and see you soon! #kyleighbug

I don´t know a lot about you but I don´t know why the hell I am writing you. but I really admire u Actually I always wanted to be a princess ( in fact I still wanting) a princess just like u . U are my inspiration to continue in my dreams. U used to be very polite, you were supportive, a lot of qualities. Right now I am in a new school and it´s quite hard. Missing everybody and not being anymore part of their new history. But we always remember the good times and we would make more. I am trying to don´t look in the past. Hope when it´s my time we can meet.

What did you even see in my when you asked me out? More importantly, what did I see in YOU? You’re the popular guy with tons of “friends” and can run a 5:51 mile and is two years ahead in math. I’m the girl who doesn’t say anything at all during school, or try to make friends. I’m just kind of there. When we first started out, everything was great. You were nice to me, we talked in school a bit, and I was happier than I’d been in a long time. But then the second month came around and I didn’t know where you went, what happened to you. You didn’t talk to me, didn’t even make eye contact with me. That’s when I realized, “He doesn’t like me anymore.” And then the thoughts started coming in. “Is it something that I did or said? Has he finally realized that I’m not cool enough for him?” No. It wasn’t me. It was her. The girl he somehow found appealing and interesting. But to me and everyone else, she’s just the wannabe popular common white girl who only posts pictures of her ... Read more

I´m taking a English course in which the teacher gave us the task of writing to a dead celebrity. As soon as I heard it, I inmediatly knew it would be you. I remembered the day you left this world, that was very sad and I cried a lot. Your voice still emerges as time goes by. One month ago , I had the pleasure to watch a documentary about your life, it is called “ the voice of South America”, in which I could appreciate that your song´s content represents the fight for the rigths of South American people. You really had a hard life, you knew poverty because you used to live in it. You were so humble,most of the people that were lucky to meet you said that you were a unique person, with a big heart, and you had a solidary spirit. I would like to use this opportunity to say thank you for your music, for transmitting our history in every lyric that you made, and to be an inspiration for future generations. I ´m proud that you were born in Argentina, I know how much you care for the country. You had a amazing voice, it seemed to ... Read more
