Dear Shay,

When I grew a bit older, many things changed. No more free gifts because your parents felt like, no more​ special treatments because you were the last child, no more smiles and laughter like there once used to be. And when I asked my Poppop, he told me that nothing is constant, that people change.

And it was true. My parents changed from stay-at-home to we-gotta-roam. My sisters stopped paying attention to me. My friends upped and left. Those I trusted came back biting me in the ass. The only people who didn't change, were Poppop, and my brother.

After the mind-shattering incident that happened, I closed off everybody, building walls seven inches thick and seventy feet high, with barbed wires surrounding me. I didn't want to let anyone in. Not even my brother. I forced myself to believe that love was overrated, and that I was better off alone. I became a one man soldier, not caring for anyone except myself. But deep down, I hoped that someone, some person out there would change me.

I do have hope, Shay. But is it bad to not hope?
Yours always,
Kimmy K.
