Imagination is Key

i can’t believe i went to the stupid dance! i knew it was an awful idea. but i couldn’t help myself. i just wanted to make my friends happy. but all i ended up with was being alone during every slow song minus one. cuz one of my friends told him to dance with me. i left early. and it seemed they were realeved i left. i went home crying. and stayed in my car crying for over 15 min. all i could think about was “what’s wrong with me?” i just don’t understand why i’m always alone. the end.

dear ashley,

i don’t know you but i wish i did. i know this may not give you comfort, but i do know how you feel. in high school, i was severely depressed and wanted nothing more than to get out of my town and away from all that peer pressure to do what was cool. i realize now they weren’t my friends, (i’m not saying they aren’t but for me they weren’t). i am now in my 4th semester at college and i think things just seem to get better everyday. i literally used to cry every single day during high school. but i realized its just crazy to beat yourself up over something that in 5 years won’t seem to matter anymore. so, just be you, who and how you want to be and don’t worry about everyone else. i think you are a beautiful person, and i wish i actually knew you. i hope this helps :)
