A couple of years ago I was extremely depressed to the point of cutting and suicide. I’m still depressed but I have since stopped cutting and thinking of suicide. I even attempted it a couple of times. I am naturally a loner and shy, so it is taking a lot of effort for me to contact you. I have very little friends and a lot of enemies.
Most people are scared of me because I can manipulate their feelings to be that of intimidation or fear. Kind of a self preservation thing. I attended two of your writing classes, not that you’d remember. I have a severe bone disease that keeps me from doing most things and makes me look like a freak. I am bullied on a regular basis. I’ve done things I’m not proud of and can’t admit to anyone. Now that you know some of my background and story, I will get to the reason I contacted you.
Reading your books saved my life. Echos from the edge helped me the most because of kelly and all that she overcame. I’m sure you get this a lot but some of your characters remind me of myself. Mostly in a bad way. Each obstacle they overcome helps me to overcome one in my life. There are many reasons I decided to write to you, even though I’m not sure you will read this. I heard you liked to hear from your fans and readers.
My name is Josiah and i’m a sixteen year old guy in case you were wondering. If you want to get in contact with me just email me back or add me on facebook, I have a couple of questions. I assume if you got this far you took the time to read the whole thing through, which I’m glad about. This isn’t the longest thing so it would be easy to read. My parents don’t know that I’m still depressed and struggling,even if they did I’m not sure they could do anything.. Do you have any advice to help me along the way? Thanks for reading!
