Dear Alex,

Ok so I saw your book was updated today so I'm just gonna ask now... People say I have to be myself and that in high school you need to find yourself. The thing is, I'm always changing. Sometimes I am bubbly an other times I'm that bitter person who hates valentines day. Sometimes I'm random and other times I'm really focused. My sense of style changes frequently, too. Sometimes I will wear a pretty dress and then the next day I will be sad that I don't have steam punk goggles and a top hat to go with my combat boots and ripped jeans. I don't know who I am. It's like different spirits travel into my body day by day. I have a crush on a guy, but I can't just be myself because I don't know who that is. My reflection is empty.

Dear no reflection,

Well honey. I can say that I'm just like you on this. But for me I'd say all these things that you try is who you are. You like to change it up and that's what keeps you interesting. Just because you don't have one style doesn't mean you don't know who you are. All these styles are apart of you and that's you. You doing this makes you, you. We all experiment on styles and dressing if not eventually you will find one style that you feel comfortable in but until then you is all that you put out there. With all these moods, it's the same thing. That is you. You don't have to just be one thing. We are all different and what you should do is not overthink any of this.
