"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." In my head I am sane but in theirs I am not...

1000 Letters to myself

"Where's Mia?" I ask as we walk to our next class. Wuhan adjust the scarf on her head and looks at saying, "she's not feeling well today but it's nothing serious her mum said she just ate something that she's allergic too, you know one of her many mistereous allergies." I laugh at the way she pulls her face and she looks at me with a raised eyebrow and then burst out laughing too." Why were you late today again? "Wuhan asks with a serious tone. I shrug my shoulders and reply by saying," My alarm didn't go off and since my mum's out of town I had no one to drag me out of my room."I laugh and shrug my shoulders. She looks at me and then fiddles with her hand not knowing what to say so I change the subject." You looked like you enjoyed Mrs Greens speech, thank the heavens I got detention, "I say mockingly. Wayan narrows her eyes and pokes me in the shoulder while saying, "Oh please she's really such a bore and you're lucky you got detention she started to talk about her life and I literally mean her life." I laugh at the remark and Wuhan joins me, we both turn the corner and slowly walk into the life science class still laughing at Mrs Green and her weird advice about life and her views on it.I sigh and think of this exact moment... This moment that I am sharing with Wuhan and I just wish it could last forever, I just wish I could laugh and be this happy forever.
