iwhat i never got was how he found it. i was just a normal girl, nothing special. i mean, it wasnt even a suicide note or something. it was a love letter. how did a love letter go viral? i just got my journal out and wrote my love for him out on paper. love that faded away. i made it 7 years ago, when i was 14. i can still remember writing it

'dear harry styles,' ugh, i was such a loser, i used five years of my life on them. i was 12 when they first became a band.

'smashing the charts, one direction...' 'and the winner is.. one direction' 'mom, can i get tickets to a one direction concert?'

after a few years, my interest started fading away. dont get me wrong, these boys will always live in my heart, always bringing along a smile at the memory of them, but liam got engaged to sophia, louis got even less solo time, zayn and perrie broke up.. it was too much emotion to deal with. i decided i needed to make a life of my own, stop worrying about these boys' lives when they didnt even know i exist. so over time, i distanced myself from them. i did better in school, got a job, and got in to UCLA. im in my senior year now, and ive kept steady a's and b's, so thats good.

but then it happened. it was christmas time, and i was back home. i was sitting in my room with my older sister, Bridget, and we found my old diary. a lot of it was depressing stuff, some of it silly, but when we found that letter it was neither. i mean, a love letter to a celebrity, that was pretty pathetic. but this was so honest and humble and real and when i read it i fell inlove with him all over again. the letter was like a spell, how after you read it you walked around sort of tranced by the thought of him. any free time for thought was used thinking about his dimples and curls. it only lasted for a few hours though, and then you were back into reality.

after we read the letter, bridget and i fell into silence as we looked through the rest of my things.

i didnt want this whole thing to be taken too seriously, so i tweeted a picture of the note with the caption, "@harry_styles found this from when i was 14. the memories <3" so bridget would see it and know all was normal again. after that, nothing was normal.
