Dear Amy

I envy the fact that you live in New York while I'm stuck in boring Ohio. When I reach your age, which will be in about two years, I attend on moving there. It's been my dream since I was about eleven years old, and it's the only dream I've stuck with.
  Like you, I've never held a letter contest. I've never entered one either. I logged into AP one day and saw a bunch of contests about letters. I don't really understand the excitement over it, but I guess it's just the new fad like dirrty pretty once was. Oh well.
I don't follow an organized religion either, but I respect the ones that do. It's good to have something to believe in, whether or not it's true. I don't believe in the bible really... but I do think it has some good moral stories in it. But if there is a God, I'd like to believe that he loves everybody. No matter what their race, orientation, gender, or whatever is. I'd like to think that God sees everyone equally.
There isn't much to me. I'm a 16 year old girl that goes through every teenage things. I often am the responsible one of my friends, or the more experienced. I don't know what I want to do after high school, and I don't know what I'm good at. I don't feel like worrying about it either. I suffer from depression. It comes and goes, and it's been gone for quite a while, but in the past three months, it's been coming back. I'm still trying to figure out how to handle it. I used to not eat, but now I eat compulsively. I used to self injure, but I don't ever do that anymore. I almost had a relapse, but I pulled myself together. I feel like I've come a long way, and I didn't want to ruin that. It wasn't worth it. The way I handle it, is by not handling it at all.
I like music, a lot. I listen to almost everything. I prefer ska, or techno. But Taylor Swift and A Day To Remember inspire me, a lot.
I love to read, and obviously, write. I'm actually reading a book called The Perks Of Being A Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky. It's pretty funny. It's just about a boy going through High School.
I really don't understand how these letters work, but I hope this letter is doing you well.
Good night,
Love
Colleen
