Hey Andrea! I just wanted to say that you are my hero. Honest. I never looked up to anybody I didn't personally know until I found your poetry. Someday I am going to see you perform! It's on my bucket list! Do you ever make it up to British Columbia, by chance? I wrote you a letter a while ago, but I never sent it because I didn't know if you'd read it, and the thought of you not reading was too excruciating. How often do you read your letters? Also, I talk about you a lot, but I'm never sure what pronouns to use! Do you have preference? I just wanted to say that you have honestly changed my life. Completely. You released the poet in me. :) Whenever an anxiety attack strikes, I whisper some of your poems to myself. They always calm me down. Someday, if I ever meet you, can I please give you a hug? It would mean the world to me. Thank you so much.

OH! And do you have any advice for how to be an ally for people living with an illness?
