To: Whoever cares enough to read this

I bet you miss me, and I'm sorry but I had to do it. I couldn't handle the fake smiles, laughs, masks. Their concern, care, praise, it was all lies. They never cared, and they never will.

Some say, "You never know what you have until you loose it," but despite my absence, they still live happily. Without a care in the world, they prance around like they're happy.

I have no idea what it's like to be happy, it's all I could ever wish for in the world. Happiness.

Wishing for a family that cared enough when I came home with a broken arm, hoping for a teacher that praised my hard work instead of noticing the mistakes, having someone to make me... happy.

Yours Truly,
Broken Vanessa
