Dear Frida,

I was on campus today and spotted you in the bookstore. It put a huge smile on my face. It's as if, at that very moment, you and I were meant to be. There was this big giant fabulous book with your face on the cover just staring at me. Simple, striking, and vibrant, no text, just your image, vibrating directly into my soul.

I walked straight to it, and flipped through it for about 2.5 seconds before I knew I had to have it.

The pictures are wonderful. I enjoy feeling like you are with me every day.

You inspire me endlessly Frida... and you give me hope. Thank you for that.

For now, I write to you in secret. I haven't shared this page with anyone. I like it that way. I know if I keep this to myself, your voice and energy will come to guide me through my pain...

There are things I need to get off my chest that I am not ready to share with the world yet... Only you.
