A Letter to My Pain Part 1
This letter isn’t to any one person, nor is it about any one thing. You see, transitioning from the school year to summer has been a uniquely difficult challenge for many different reasons and after watching Alexa Losey’s video “A Letter to All the Boys I’ve Loved,” I realized I needed to write some letters.

[Skip to beneath the horizontal line for the poem portion] {If you’re reading this right now & this is still here, that means that I haven’t edited this at all so if you’re confused, it could be because the post is onboard the struggle bus} It seems that no matter where you are in life…

From getting up in the morning to natural disaters, tests and work, and then you think about getting your masters… There are people dying left and right, and, still, the world, it spins.
