This isn't a story, just a collection of letters to people. Sounds strange? Yeah I know. Let me tell you a little story: Once upon a time, there was me. I was very messed up, in many ways. I had anxiety, depression, and suicidal thoughts. But, then, I started realizing something. There were these people. They liked me and hung out with me at school, and after awhile of happy bliss I got confused by why they had yet to abandon me, as every person who hung out with me has before. They explained to me that they were my friends, and would not leave me. It took me a long time, but I eventually started to comprehend what a "friend" was, and what they do, and how to have and be one. I was ecstatic just at the thought of these people not abandoning me, and for some weird reason, they never did. I was still a very messed up person, flawed and depressed and anxious. These people understood, and helped me more than I can put in to words. With their help, intentional and not, I learned to cope and channel these tendencies better than ever before. One of my many coping mechanisms consisted of writing letters every time my suicidal thoughts got really bad. I wrote letters to my friends, the good ones and the bad ones, and I reminded myself that these people love me. I love them, and owe them my life. These are the letters I've written. I truly hope they help brighten someone's day, just as they've brightened mine. P.S. Before each letter, I may or may not write a short backstory about the friend I'm writing to. I probably won't use any of their real names either, considering they don't know I wrote these and they have accounts on Wattpad. Thanks!

so, I've been struggling for a long time now, and I never told anyone about it. I've never opened up. but I met someone who understands how I feel, and I'm beginning to feel again. I don't know how to do it, but I finally feel I can fight. I've been so exhausted. I'm not better, I'm not sure if i ever will be, but I'm not numb, not entirely. I can't say how I'm feeling, or what i am going to write, but if you want it, it's here. This is for you. For everyone who was made to be the villain by those meant to be by their sides. For everyone with a sensitive heart made to grow strong much too quickly. For everyone who struggles to get out of bed in the morning. For everyone who never could find the words to say why. For everyone who struggles to feel and for everyone who feels too much. For everyone who had to pick themselves back up. For everyone who had to parent themselves. For everyone fighting an invisible battle. For everyone who has been underestimated. For everyone who has to flee to other worlds to cope. For everyone who found other means to silence their voices. For everyone who was silenced. For everyone who was over powered. For everyone who was made to be less. For everyone who had to watch someone else suffer and stay silent. For everyone asking themselves, why? Why would you do this? What did I do? Why is this happening to me? It was never your fault.
