Dear Reader,

 

You're not alone. I know it may feel like that at times, but one of my driving reasons for writing my second novel, Darling, You're Not Alone, was to serve as a letter to you, illustrating this message. Through fiction, I wanted you to know that in reality I am right here, with you. And so are many others. And now that you have either completed my book or made it to this website, I now humbly ask you to write your own to someone else.

 

Write to a parent. Write to a friend. Write to a coach. Write to a teacher. In a world inundated with texts, emails and push notifications that are fleeting, a carefully crafted letter has the unique staying power nothing else does. Our words live on long after we do. 

 

Your letter can be about anything, and it can be any length. The only thing I ask is for your letter to start with that simple—yet powerful— reminder that "You're not alone." None of us are.

​

My goal with this letter writing campaign is that that every person that participates will empower someone else to write to their someone. Who then can write to their someone, and write to their someone, and write to their someone, and write to their someone. And it all started with you.

​

If you are wondering where to start with this letter, do not worry. Below you will see what myself and others have already written.

​
