Dear August,

I know you want
to make sure people
can be proud
of you.
But being
happy
is just as importnant.
Doing something
you know
will please others
sometimes
isn't what
will please you.
Be happy.

Do
what you feel
is right.
Take this
as a lesson,
and find
yourself.
Because,
once you leave,
you'll once again

be happy.
