I handed out my journal freely for people to write as they wish about me, this is what happened.

Asna-                                                                                                                                                                                                           Alisha, you are one of my closest friends and I feel amazed how close we are. You have the sweetest nature I’ve seen in someone in a while. You’re genuine and a living example of the phrase, “beautiful inside and out.” Love you so much girl!

Arsal-                                                                                                                                                                                                              Alisha, you are one of the coolest gals I have ever met. I have known you since grade 7 (I think) and we even talked (wow!) We haven’t talked for a long time after that I still knew you and now that we’re in creative writing we have started talking again. (wow!)

Andrew-                                                                                                                                                                                                          Alisha with an I, you’re so Tumblr. Your Instagram feed, is to cool for school. I didn’t really get to know you until the end of last year. Yet I am so glad, I got to meet you and get to know you even more in creative writing. Rock & Roll, I love the cookies you bake! see you soon!

Claire B- (all lower case)                                                                                                                                                                               Alisha, I love you so so so so much, you are gorgeous inside and out. Thank you for being such an amazing friend, I appreciate everything you do. Your smile can make my day. Thank you for your existence, I love you.

Wild-                                                                                                                                                                                                                 Alisha, I don’t want to start this like a stereotypical letter or to be honest (tbh) that we would often see on Facebook. Where people just call you chill or just say they love you. I do like you very much, you’re one of the kindest people I know. But I want to just focus on one thing because that is just what I feel like doing now. Your hair is always amazing. It reminds me of a tiger on fire. I hope this inspires you somehow.

Ms. Hunnisett- ( sweeter than honey)                                                                                                                                                         My Beautiful Alisha, You came into my world a year ago and from that moment I knew I’d love you. You have eyes that connect, that encourage, that understand. With your eyes in the room- I’m safe! Thank you! You have a smile that radiates your heart’s intent- to live! And you have a laugh that reminds us that your wicked sense of humor is always joking- keeping us laughing too. You show the importance of enjoying all the little pleasures in life. A trickster of love brings such joy to my day! Thank you! Love! Laugh! Learn!
