All the best writers are the ones that feel the most. They see the world colored in emotions and pain and love and that monster you have deep inside you.

Like you. Whether or not you choose to be writersingerwhatever, you will succeed because your words are beautiful.

Thank you for the great read, and the personal insight into your life and mind.

I hope that everything works out.

Goodbye for now it is then.
(I hope you figure everything out.)

That was a good ending.
I must say, I'm going to miss reading your pillowbook. So much.
And, if I was ever any help, it was worth it. I enjoy talking to you and reading this.
You know where to find me if you ever need me.

I LOVE YOU NATALIE. As a friend, of course, but STILL.

*hugs*

...Um.

MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU.

I'm sorry natalie.
:l

I'm sorry that things turned out this way. :( I really hope you don't stop writing. You're an amazing writer. Never mind what anyone else says.

i'll miss your words.
they were so raw, they weren't even pretty anymore.

but that's okay.
not everything has to pretty.

i consider it brave.
(i'm a coward, if you'd like to know. if it helps.)

transition hurts, but it's b e a u t i f u l in it's irony. be whatever you need to be. this isn't about pleasing people.

don't write for others, write for yourself, or else is it even writing?

(i still like watching them smile their temporary smiles. they're pretty in their fleeting state.)

welcome to the arctic.

i hate the way this pillowbook turned out.
but i love you forever for starting the fad.
even though it's transformed into a twisted teenager's journal, the pillowbooks of old are still as beautiful as they ever were. there's a beautiful collection of poetic pillowbooks out there; and yours are on the top of the list.

stay safe, natalie.
hopefully you won't stop writing.

i knew this a long time before you told me.
sometimes it's good to let things out in the open.
