unusual — and
you can use it to help another.
It is important for you to understand that your life has meaning, just like
anyone else’s.
It is equally important that you know that just because your family has disowned
you and some of your friends have become enemies, it doesn’t mean you
have nothing to live for.
Your life can only be what you make it.
You once told me that you wanted to make it in the advertising business. Tell
me, how will that happen if you are pumping your body with antibiotics and
IVs, or if you are dead?
I want to help you but you have refused to see me. I understand your fear,
and I will do everything in my power to help you. That includes writing this
letter.
I care about you. I cannot let you destroy yourself by having unprotected
sex or using drugs because you feel that you have no other options.
I promise I will get through to you and help you find a way into a more positive
light.
I am your friend, Taye, and I will never, ever give up on you, no matter what.
