Open Letter to The Mental Illness Happy Hour Listeners

Post by lovelovestolovelove »

Hi, I'm Kori, I have Bipolar II, ADD, and Generalized Anxiety Disorder. Also, I love you. I wrote you a letter to prove it. Actually, I wrote it twice. The first time I spilled ink on the last paragraph just as I was finishing it, and then spent a good half hour hating myself for it. But then I rewrote it, and here we are.

All my love,
K
