This is a letter in the form of poetry to my best friend who now rests peacefully in heaven. I love you Leah Marie.

A series of letters to a once best friend, a series of letters he may never get to read. There are 73 days in summer, and that means 73 days of change. From a suicidal, depressed, self-harm addicted teenager into a (hopefully) stable young woman, this journal, written to my once best friend, chronicles my recovery. The only thing keeping me alive is a promise I made one year ago, a hope for a better future, and the thought of him. Many things will change, and my journey to recovery will not be easy.

This was a letter written to me from my best friend Lucy xx (FVKGirl)

This is basically a letter to one of my best friends because she needs to know this!

This isn't a story. It's a letter to my best friend. The one I've known all my life. The one that means so much to me. And the one that I'm starting to loose.
