Dear Charlie,
Today was a bad day. Last night I was watching a movie and it made me cry. It was about a guy who was starting his career as a writer, and it was successful with his first book. But the second one could not write. Until he found an old copy of a book. He struggled with it until he decided to make it his own. The movie goes on like that. But the thing is, it made me cry. I don’t know why really. But I got sad, I didn’t know what to do so I took a shower. After the shower I get a message from Anabel saying “what’s up” and I just smiled, even though inside I was still sad. She told me what was wrong when I told her I felt sad. So I said “why people make me feel like I’m not worth it?” There was a short pause and then she called me and said “don’t ever ever think like that! You are worth everything”. I was really upset, this time I didn’t felt happy because I was talking to Anabel. I felt sad because I loved her. I loved her and I couldn’t show her.
I slept until 2 p.m. and woke up so differently. Without wanting to smile. I figured I was like that because I haven’t talked to Laura, do you remember her from the cruise? We became close, and we used to talk every day. We were happy. But then things started to happen and we barely speak now. So I sent her a message saying “3 days without talking to you… I miss you” and then she called me.
After we talked I was so mad. Because it seems like she doesn’t care I’m there. I try to be patient with her because of her problems with family. But she makes me feel like I’m just another person who wont really care. When I’m always there for her. I didn’t know what to do so I called my friend Sam. We where talking about the situation and she told me that it’s best if I go away for a while. Is it the best thing to do Charlie? What would you do if you have a friend that has nobody but you and you have no choice but to leave her or him for a while? The idea scares me, but maybe it is the thing to do. I don’t know. I am really confused, I don’t know if I’m mad or sad. But as always, I’m the hero of the story, and I will end up doing what is best for others, putting my feelings on the line…
Love,
Joctan
