Look,
It's like everything you do is desperate.
You absolutely need to be doing more with your life,
Just because of what's happened and your feelings toward others,
Doesn't mean that there aren't other things that will open up worlds to you.
Start seriously taking up some hobbies,
And stop dwelling so much inside your head.
You don't have to be bored going around town and playing video games to the point that it just feels sad.
I want you to work out everyday. Either basketball, long walks, weight lifting, or swimming.
Youve gotta find new passions too. I wish I would have found Kendo and painting sooner. Your writing will get better, just keep doing it.
And seriously? She wasn't that great. Neither was she, or her, or her, or her, or her. Well, maybe her or her. You know who I mean. Why not talk with them more. The one you're dwelling on could have never kept up with you.
Enjoy life or enjoy your regrets. I'll be seeing you. Sort of.

Hello ex me.
I really miss you. I wish I had known how awesome you were before you went away. I guess sometimes we don't appreciate what we have until it's gone. I miss your patience and kindness. I miss the ways you interacted with nature and felt so free in it. It was like you were talking to the creatures and the plants. I miss your energy and your love for anyone you met. I miss the way you made everything a little more beautiful before you left. I hope you will come back soon. And I hope the new me becomes at least a little more like you and I become able to see her more.
*appreciate* her more

wonderfully put!

Wow! I relate. I thought I was a writer. Not nearly as good as you.
Hey kid
How are you?
There's lots of things you're gonna do
7th's hard but it's worth it
So is finding out who you are
But it's going to be worth it
You're just a kid
So be nice to yourself
Maybe less so
to everyone else
Don't stay up so late again
Now you're more tired than you've ever been
And also please don't pick your skin
I'm trying and so are you
And it gets harder- that much is true
But it's getting better, a little each day
I really hope so, anyway
@LonleyCheese
beautiful! <3
