dear quinn,
one good day
doesn't mean
you're cured.
i know you
want
it to.
but this ****
takes time.
it won't
go away
just because
you have
one good day.
so.
stop lying.
i don't want
you to
delude yourself.
again.
love,
quinn

dear quinn,
can you please
listen?
just for a
second.
i know you want
to brush it all off.
and pretend
that you aren't
hurting.
but you have to
listen to me.
you can hurt.
you do hurt.
give yourself time.
but more
importantly.
give yourself the
truth.
love,
quinn
can't keep pretending.

dear quinn,
i know
that you are
scared.
i know that
you just want
to keep quiet.
and let your life
be a story
written about
you.
but it has to be
a story you
write.
love,
quinn

dear quinn,
i know that everything
is spiraling
out of control.
i know that you
aren't okay.
but i also know
that you will
get up after you
fall.
and i know
that your now
is not your forever.
with love,
quinn
