"Being a teenager is tough...you're still trying to figure out who you are and where you fit in, it's all about self discovery Heather," My therapist says in a calm voice.  "We are here to help you honey but we can't help you if you don't help yourself," My mother says with a voice filled with pity.Everyone around Heather sees her as this unstable teenage girl who clearly needs help but they don't know for sure what's wrong with her and neither does she. In this book of self discovery, love, passion and daring friendship Heather tries to make sense of who she is and if she's really insane, everything falls in to place with "1000 ʟᴇᴛᴛᴇʀs ᴛᴏ ᴍʏsᴇʟғ."

1000 Letters to myself

The life sciences teacher starts off the lesson and I am already looking out of the window at the fog and rain that has gathered since this morning.So weird I thought that today would be all rainbows and sunshine but it's not and this shows how things can drastically change and they always do even when I don't want them to. I sigh and my sad, depressed thoughts are interrupted by Wuhan kicking my foot and making weird faces that instantly makes me smile and laugh. She has a note in her hand and shows it to me smilingly. On the page with big goofy letters is written let's turn that frown upside down baby(^_-). I smile at her attempt to cheer me up and then she gestures me to pay attention to what the teachers saying and this makes me think... Maybe I'm not as alone as I thought, maybe I do actually have people that care for me... That care enough to want to see me smile and that cares enough to want better for me and that wants a better me.This welms up butterflies in the pit of my stomach and makes me want to love and listen to the life science teacher like I use to.I want to be a better me and I want to try again and not just for myself... I look at Wuhan and smile while thinking but for the people in my life that actually cares enough to stick around.
