"So remember, when you're feeling very small and insecure

How amazingly unlikely is your birth
And pray that there's intelligent life somewhere up in space

'Cause there's bugger all down here on Earth"

Dear Marissa, 

     I am writing this for two reasons; One: because I am bored out of my mind and I like to type random shit. Two: I hope that someday you will read this and remember me. I am writing this so that you will read it 4 years in the future, you will be 21. The legal age to drink and smoke and drive a rental car. And I am sure that the world has changed a lot since I have written this. Hopefully you are going towards your future of a chef or an actress as crazy as that sounds. I hope that you are happy, happier than I am now. Perhaps you have been through more heartaches, and you have grown up, made more and bigger mistakes. I don’t need to remind you of all the mistakes we have made, I just hope that I am able to clean up our life in time to do something with it. This is the worst time in my life to fuck up and want to throw everything away, I am trying my best to keep caring. My wrists hurt from the thin cuts I have placed upon them my hips and legs are also starting to get riddled with scars. I am sorry, I feel sill doing it but for some reason I keep doing it. It’s like a drug or something. 

Speaking of drugs I wonder if you still do them, right now we are still in the weed stage. I like weed but I don’t see myself going out and looking for it. If someone has it I’ll smoke, gladly and greedily but I’m not one to seek it out. I am also addicted to sex, and I see that fucking us up along the road and I am sorry about that too. I have tried to stop myself to keep away from boys and not let myself get sucked in but every time I fall for their stupid tricks and they make me sick. I make me sick, I honest to goodness think that I am a whore and that I am ugly and fat and sickening and annoying at that everyone secretly hates me. And the saddest part is I know how stupid it all sounds. I am not a real person yet. Honestly I have no idea who I am or what the point of me sticking around these people are. I want to run away and start fresh away from the lies and the self loathing and have a chance to be me. Just me and have no one asking anything of me and have real friends who love and cherish me and I wish I had that in high school. Someone who felt off kilter if I wasn’t there and texted me all night and day. And loved me dispite my imperfections, I know I have a lot. I do things and say things and even think things sometimes and I am disgusted with myself. I hope you hate me because I do. To think I am going to turn into you. I hope we turn out good you know? A real badass, and if not oh well at least we tried right?
