Dear Jack,
I'm so sorry I haven't written to you in over two months. I've been incredibly busy and it slipped my mind. I'm sorry.
To answer your previous response to me:
I love AC/DC too. I haven't listened to much Lady Antebellum, but what I've listened to by her, I've liked.
Now to your questions for me:
1) My favorite animal... I don't know if I have a favorite animal. I have two cats and I really like them, so maybe cats are my favorite animal.
2) I was born in Chicago, Illinois. I still live in Illinois and have never moved from Illinois.
3) My favorite TV show is a show called That 70s Show. It's a sitcom set in the 1970s about a group of teenage friends. It mainly just makes a lot of references to the 70s.
4) I have one brother and one sister. I live with my mom, too. My dad is not around. He left when I was thirteen, and I'm glad that he left.
5) My favorite food is probably enchiladas. I don't watch movies a whole lot, but Forrest Gump is my favorite. My favorite color is lemon-lime, specifically the color of Mountain Dew. I don't know why, I've just always liked that color.
6) I don't watch movies a whole lot, so I don't have a kind that I like the most. I like kind of inspirational movies, though. The Blind Side is one of my favorite movies as well.
7) Currently I'm studying for my GED. In Illinois, I have to be 17 to take the tests. I turn seventeen in a few months, so I'm going to take those tests as soon as possible. I dropped out of high school because due to mental illness, I couldn't continue school with my peers. After I get my GED, I plan to take classes at a community college in January. I'm still working on my driver's license, though.
Again, I am incredibly sorry about not responding for so long. I feel really bad about it.
I hope your day is nice!

Hello dymitri l, its kyla. Thank you for writing me again, i appreciate you for taking the time to write to me. I'm sorry you were having a rough time with your counsler. But i hope it gets better. I hope your at least trying to stay positive in light of being locked away. It must be hard but the least you can do is try. But what helps calm you down when your mad? Have you learned how to cope or is that something you never get used to? I hope they aren't touchy questions but i think everyone finds a way to calm themselves down because sometimes all we have is ourselves. But i hope you know whenever your having a bad day and you need to vent you can talk to me about it, i know it'll take some time for me to get it but at least you'll have some what of a cleared mind. I hope to hear from you soon. Stay positive and keep me up to date on how you are

Hi Christopher, I'm Samara, i'm 18 and so inspired by you. I saw you on the show lockup and i was immediately captivated by the gentle-ness of how you spoke. My heart breaks for you, First thing i did is i looked you up, i signed a petition or two, iv'e made shirts to show i'm proud to be on your side and spread awareness of your story. I want to know what i can do to help and support you. My boyfriend and I are so inspired by your strength, He is going to quote you for his senior year motto. Stay strong for me and the many others who want and will support you. Never give up and always know, Without you i wouldn't have been so aware of people who have been wronged by the system (in my opinion). Love you! -samara

You have a talent, keep writing.

I will be looking out.

Hello Anthony.

I can’t tell if I’m too late to reply as your last blog post hasn’t been for a year. I hope this finds you and you are still writing poertry.

You have a beautiful talent, that needs to be heard, whether or not you are behind bars.

I hope you can find what you are searching for.

I am from New Zealand (a tiny Country in the South Pacific) sometimes not even on a map. Our justice system is VERY different and every reading, documentary, blog I see I can’t believe how unfairly y’all are treated. I

I hope you continue to express yourself, as I would love to continue reading.

Thanks,

Melissa
