The symmetry between the "Em" at the start of every section and the "Me" at the end scratched an itch I didn't know I had

Haha I’m glad you noticed! I didn’t know how to sign off originally, I felt like a genius when I came up with that 🤭

Wow I really feel connected to you,

I started to fall in love with the Harry Potter books at exactly the same age and that was the beginning of a long journey with literature and fantasies that I still return to today.

When I was about 13-14 years old my mental health also started to deteriorate dramatically and to this day I still struggle with problems.

I love the way your write to yourself and the words you use, I am looking forward to read more of your stuff!

Have a lovely day,

Finéa <3

This set of letters feels as if they could have been written for my former selves.

I’m so freaking glad you found your way here, to the stream that is this platform so that I can read your writing.

The movies I wore out were Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, and Some Kind of Wonderful.

We didn’t have anything to play movies on until I was 12…and then not again until I was 16.

I’m still obsessed with watching movies over and over. But I no longer have the time. I miss having that time.

This is beautiful. Also, I rewatched the last unicorn until the DVD was so scratched it wouldn't play properly

For me it was the last unicorn, the little mermaid, and an american tail. I'm actually being the last unicorn for Halloween!
