Jack once saved August's life…now can August save him?

You deserve to heal and grow, too. You deserve to have someone to talk to about your problem; you deserve unconditional support; you deserve care and safety and all the things you need to thrive. Just because you may not have them doesn’t mean you don’t deserve them. If someone tells you that you don’t deserve those things, they are lying.

Keep trying your best.

Ask for help when you need it.

Do your best to be brave, but it is okay not to be.

If you drop the weight you’re carrying, it is okay. You can build yourself back up out of the pieces.

If your mind stops listening to you, it’s not your fault. There are billions of us; you are not alone.

And lastly, whoever you are:

I am so so proud of you.

Love,

Kayla

Now, August and Jack are fictional. They wind up okay in the end. They’ll learn how to love each other with fingertips, instead of claws. They will build a home and a life together, and there they will heal and grow.

Many young people, perhaps like you, find themselves being forced to carry something they never imagined would be so heavy, with no one around to support them. It must be said that they are rarely ever at fault for the
multitude of ways they choose to bear that load. Even if they are destructive. They are not “failing”; someone has failed them.

If you read this book and you see too much of your life in the codependence and neglect that is August’s and Jack’s lives, please know that it is not your fault.

If you are dealing with mental illness and you are exhausted, please know that it is not your fault.

If you are alone and overburdened, please know that it is not your fault.
