When you said “hopeful for tomorrow” 🥹 I hope younger Abby would be proud and content to see you now, helping other people who feel the same way. Talking about intricate thoughts that we all were convinced made us evil and unloveable, anyway I loved this! Especially the diary entry that’s such a prolific idea, I felt truly in the mind of senior year Abby.

I love you Ashley!!! I am so proud, and so grateful because I really wouldn't know I had a reason to be proud without people like you to remind me that I actually have an impact :)

i love the way you write so much. that feeling of nostalgia being connected to a time you would never go back to is a confusing one i get all the time and it’s cool to be reminded that i am not always alone in the way i feel. thank you for sharing <3

wow this made me cry, sometimes i feel like i was the only one who felt like this in high school. its comforting to know that i wasn’t, that in a way it was “normal”
