It's been a year since you passed. In my head, I see it as kind of a long time, but in my heart it feels like it was yesterday. I remember happily scrolling around on my phone and coming upon a picture of you. I smiled, but my heart dropped when I read the text above it. Suddenly everything was quiet. I couldn't hear any of the noise around me and all I could do was read that same dreadful sentence over and over. My friend and I missed our bus because we were busy crying in the bathroom. We walked home in the rain. Hell, there was even a dead animal on the side of the road. Everything was so dim and dreary. You were one of the things that kept my world bright, along with my family. I managed to keep myself together until I finally read your letter. Doing that broke me into a million tiny pieces and drowned me in guilt. I felt horrible for not seeing how much you were hurting. I resented people for expecting so much of you. Being an idol is difficult, and it wasn't until you left that I realized that. I just hope you're happy wherever you are. You deserve to be at peace. I love you. You did well.
