Hi everyone, it's been while. I was about 13 when I started writing this story. It's so crazy to think that all I used to care about was this story. I would update it every Monday and be so happy when I got another handful of readers. Now however, I just turned 18. I've learned so much since I began writing this and experienced a lot.

I've been depressed a lot and sad but it is sunny on the other side. When I wrote this I was all alone. None of my friends were real friends so I created this to escape. I eventually stopped writing completely after December 2019. I tried to continue but I struggled as people began to enter my life at random after I moved schools. I want to say that there's nothing wrong with being who you are. If people cant accept that it's their problem, you don't need them to succeed in anyway. It hurts, yes, but not as much as if you too started to dislike yourself.

After that I found a few people who took me in as their friend, god, I do wonder what would've happened if I had just stayed quiet. Would I have finished Letter's to IT? Probably not. I hate endings. It's like grieving someone you've been best friends with for weeks, months, even years. I take ages to read books because of this.

I never saw me as the person who would find peace at school. It honestly always was hell for me unless I was learning. But when I left and handed in that red paper with all my teachers signatures and looked at the memories I hand created in those halls, I couldn't help myself but sob. The place I dreaded going suddenly became the place I didn't want to leave. The people who have influenced me in the last few years are some of the best people I've ever met.

Anyway, I felt I needed to come on and write this to show that, life will always be a rollercoaster, it doesn't mean you should avoid it!
