Dear Dylan,

I never wanted things to end this way between us, but I know that this is best for everyone. I just need you to know that I love you. You have been the most amazing friend anyone could ask for. You taught me so much and have always been there for me without hesitation. I could not ask more. I think back to all of the great times we had with a heavy heart, but a smile on my face. I will never regret calling you one of my best friends. Although, I do not want you to worry about me. I am strong, and I know I can make it through. I just want you to be strong for yourself. You are one of the few people in the world that I care about most in the world. I would hate to see you lose yourself. I want you to promise that you will always live for YOU and no one else. Never stop chasing your dream. No matter what gets in the way.

With love and best wishes,

Jaden

Oh no. Not again.

I do not exactly have a "role model" or a "hero" in my life. Although if I had to choose a person that I admire I would have to choose Sarah Dessen. Like I have said before in older posts, she is my favorite author. Her books make me happy, and sad. They make me hate and love, but most of all they make me feel, something I try not to do often. They make me think and feel things that I don't want to face. I love her for so much more than just her writing though. Of course I wish I could write half as well as she can, but I also wish I had her lifestyle. She is happily married with children, living in North Carolina. She also graduated with Honors in Creative Writing. This is what I have always wanted to do when I was older. I want to write and make people happy with my book. I want people to feel the connection with the characters like I do in Sarah's book. I hope I can get the chance to meet her one day and let her know how much she has impacted my life.
