- I've been writing letters
to my future husband since I was 16.
I believe God will bring us together one day.
Last year there was a boy I really liked
but then when he asked me out,
I panicked and then I said no.
- I know why you always get up
to go to the restroom when we go out to eat,
I just don't know how to help you.
- I fear I have an undiagnosed mental illness.
- I could have written this to one of my best friends.
- I got bullied a lot growing up
and because of that I started seeing
the world in a very different way.
- You should know I am a coward,
when things get tough I bail.
- We were making PB and J's to bring to the beach.
She wouldn't really ever eat any of it
and so it just kind of came out one day.
- I was best friends with the most popular girl in school
and the new girl that came into that school,
she wanted to take my place and so
to do that she would gossip about me,
lie, she would spit in my hair, throw things at me.
- I would be carrying gum all the time
and just kind of like slide her a piece
under the table when she got back,
knowing that she needed fresh breath.
- Stuff has changed since then,
I've definitely become more of a quiet person.
I get very nervous around people.
- I wanted to be a singer and I would sing in front
of the whole class and teachers started laughing at me.
- I just no longer wanted to live,
I didn't want to be around anyone,
and I never did anything about it
'cause everyone always had told me
that it was my problem and I had to deal with it.
- If you don't talk about it with anyone
and if you don't have anyone there who's supporting you
then it becomes a cycle of just you're beating yourself up.
- It made me feel like I was not good enough
but I got over it, I got over it.
And now I can sing in front of my friends
and tell them how good of a singer I am.
- It's such a personal feeling
that has to have such a public manifestation
and that involves a lot of hiding.
And I think that once you break that,
once you break through that wall, it gets easier.
