Letters to Jacob

Dear Jacob,

I saw your reply on your blog. It made me very…emotional. Thank you for sharing. Something else I noticed last night was your post on bullying. On reading that, made me think of the cruel words of today’s society. People are horrible, but we are the strong, independent people who may shed a few tears or a few cuts along the way but in the end, we are alive and we are the better person.

Today wasn’t so bad, eyes still stuck against me during lunch. However, it was probably because I had the courage to wear my ugly Mickey Mouse shirt I got for Christmas from my Aunt. Don’t get me wrong, I love the shirt, but obviously no one else did. Well, it was either that or my repulsive face.

I didn’t see you today much. I was searching everywhere for you. I just wanted to see how you were travelling today. I’m not trying to stalk you if that’s what you suppose; I’m just trying to look out for a lost soul as he is doing for me even though my persona is anonymous to him. Please stop hiding from people, there are people (like me) that want to see you because you look amazing and you are amazing.

I’m going to let you in on my family now, Jacob. They’re…difficult to be around. I love them and they love me, I just can’t have a conversation with them about how I’m feeling. It’s nothing personal towards them, it’s just they don’t understand me. No one really does.

Always,

Haylei.
