“To reconcile ourselves with one another, we must release our judgments and make peace with the fact that we are one. This country was founded on the ideal that we are all created equal. If we truly believe in the equality of all humankind, how can we put down and belittle one another? How can we disrespect and prejudge one another? How can we come to the point where we malign and hate one another?”

“This is a real letter. I hope you get this far but i won’t be mad if you don’t want to read any of it. this is what i want so don’t be sad. you might be looking for reasons. the sun stopped shining for me is all. the whole story is: i am sad. i am sad all the time and the sadness is so heavy that i can’t get away from it. not ever. there used to be days that i thought i was okay, or at least that i was going to be. we’d be hanging out somewhere and everything would just fit right and i would think ‘it will be okay if it can just be like this forever’ but of course nothing can stay just how it is forever.
i don’t want to hurt you or anybody so just please forget about me. just try. find yourself a better friend. i never laughed as hard as i laughed with you but now not even the laughing feels good.”
