This year, one of our assignments in English class was to write a "letter" to an abstract concept. It could be anything from hope, to love, to fear, to war, to conflict. I decided to choose religion as my concept, because it is a complicated topic for me, but it is also something I have a great interest in. In this project, I explore my positive and negative feelings and experiences with religion in a letter form.
This project would not exist without my amazing Language Arts teachers, who have supported me unconditionally throughout my journey as a writer. I am forever grateful for their compassion, guidance, and understanding. I would not be where I am today without them.
This is an unedited repost of my original assignment. Cover photography does not belong to me. It will be switched to original photography in the future.

--Bridges--
One of the favourite lessons reading books has taught me is that you're never alone, not alteast in thoughts and words. There are others who think like you, feel like you and react like you. It's like that sometimes, our unspoken thoughts are the bridges that connect us, even though we might be miles apart. And so, I've written them down in the hope that there are many out there in this world who would be willing to walk these bridges leading to me-the real, raw and unhidden self I am- my heart and mind and soul. And I really want to walk over to your side and feel what you are like. You are the one to decide whether you want to build 'em or not... ----------------- Cover by me! None of the media used in this book belongs to me.Complete

His face has no emotions at all... All I was expecting was him to look at me atleast once...

Someone New β
"There comes a point where you no longer care if there's a light at the end of the tunnel or not. You're just sick of the tunnel." - Who I am doesn't matter. How I got here doesn't matter. What matters now is I'm getting help, right? That's what they tell me here. They tell me that the road to recovery feels like a terrible butt fuck, but the fact that you're on the path to begin with, is all that matters. So as I sit in this circle of fuck ups, I realize just how different I am from them. I didn't attempt suicide because my mother was a crack addict who didn't want me. My father wasn't abusive. I didn't have a sibling die in a car accident. I was never really bullied either. I attempted suicide because, for the first time in years, I thought I had found something that could make me feel again... and after not feeling much at all for far too long, perhaps I went a bit overboardComplete
