SUBJECT	RE: Try being nice?
Dear Evan Hansen, We've been way too out of touch. Things have been crazy, and it sucks that we don't talk that much! I gotta tell ya life without ya has been rough and I miss talking about life and other stuff. I love my parents but each day's another fight. If I stop smoking pot then everything might be alright. I'll take your advice, I'll try to be more "nice." I'll turn it around, wait and see! 'cause all that it takes is a little reinvention and it's easy to change if you give it your attention. All you gotta do is just believe you can be who you wanna be. Sincerely, Me

Dear Connor Murphy,
Yes, I also miss our talks. Stop doing drugs, just try to take deep breaths and go on walks. I'm sending pictures of the most amazing trees—you'll be obsessed with all my forest expertise!

Dude, I'm proud of you. Just keep pushing through—you're turning around, I can see.

Sincerely,
Me

Dear Connor Murphy,

I'm glad to hear rehab's going alright. You should talk more in the sharing circles - opening up is good for you. I know you've told me that you don't have any other friends, but everyone in rehab can't be that bad! Everyone's there for the same sort of stuff, right? So you already have that in common with them.

You said you're worried that they'll laugh about your stories, but I don't think that's true. Everyone's there because they're a little bit broken, a little bit messed up. Rehab's supposed to help fix you.

It's easy to change if you give it your attention, remember?

Sincerely,
Me

Dear Connor Murphy,

It's great to hear that you've picked up swimming again. Do you think you'll try out for the swim team this year? My therapist says that physical exercise is good for you and you're pretty good at it right?

I know this is probably hypocritical coming from me, since I can't even really get through a school presentation without having a panic attack, but sometimes you have to do stuff that's out of your comfort zone. Think about it, okay?

Did the breathing exercises help? I know you were hesitant to try them, but they've helped me a ton and honestly, I think they could help you too. I know you've been getting better recently and I don't want to see you backslide! You're turning around and it only gets better from here.

Sincerely,
Me

Dear Connor Murphy,

You've never told me about the apple orchard before. Do you think it's still there? It might be fun to go sometime. We could probably climb some trees or something. Talk about our plans for the future? You mentioned something about biking the Appalachian trail a while back.

This summer, I'm working as a park ranger in Ellison. You should come hang out sometime. I'll show you all the coolest trees in the park! Or just give you a tour, I don't know. I hope I'll learn a lot while I'm there.

Don't worry about what other people think. What you and I have doesn't have anything to do with them. Nothing could make me stop being your friend. We're both losers, aren't we?

Sincerely,
Me
