dear juana,
i'm tired of being the stupid one. i'm angry that the only way i learn about biology is by taking off my clothes with some older boy that i don't even know the middle name of. i'm tired of being easy and i'm tired of people judging me for it.
i wish i knew the name of all the stars. because then i could tell people that i've actually learned something in my life. that i've actually learned something.
i wish i could pick each star out of the sky and give you the brightest ones, because that's what you deserve.
i wish god would pick a star for me, but he hasn't yet. he hasn't yet and i don't think he's going to.
i have seen my death, juana. i am going to burn. burn fast and bright until i want to scream. but i won't scream, juana, i won't scream.
but i would scream for you.
love,
ashley.

dear ashley
how sad i am sorry this is heartrenhing. i felt myself swell up with tears. i have been there efore, you know i have, i am just as tired as you but know that i understand more than anyting that you arent easy, peeple say that aout me too but i understand honey. that isnt the best way to learn but honey you arent easy you just have to respect yourself above all else.
if i could reach a star ever then i would get them for you because it is YOU that deserves them love not me i promise.
dont think about how you are going to leave dont think how its going to happen
but yes dont scream
even for me love
feel better i am here i will always be here i will always think that you are talented and beautiful
i wish that we lived closer because i swear you would live with me and we would have adventures trying to reach the stars
and when we fell we would fall together.
love,
juana
