Dear Lea,
Sometimes friends drift apart, it happens. it's part of life for peopl to leave. it's something i'm all too familiar with. living near a military base has come to teach me that people leave, whether they want to or not. it's not up to us, it just happens. and maybe you're sad right now, but it was time to part. your lifestyle was too epic and mine was too small town. i wanna be a mother, you wanna be a star. i don't think this ever would have worked. sorry love.

Letter 7
Dear Lea,
So life get's rough. i think we all know that. but life is never something to get rid of. what we all must remember is that life always gives another chance. time after time. screw up after screw up. love after love. heartbreak after heartbreak. if we keep going, we can always start over. forget the past and move toward who you want to be, who you need to be. and that's what i've been doing. i've been frustrated by boys, school, the stress of poverty, and trying to be what others need me to be. but i've come to realize that even if i am who THEY need me to be, it's more important for me to be who I need me to be. even if my only skill in life is making shakes, i'll move up in the world of Braums. or even if my only skill was being a mom, i'd turn that into a career in teaching, or maybe nannying. every tiny skill we have can bring us up in life if we have the heart and the passion to do it. so never forget that you are worth it, your life is worth living, and your skills are worth exploring.
