you are loved.
I wrote Teach Me to Forget to explore the questions I had about losing my father to suicide. But I discovered while writing it, I was the one who needed help. Ellery, the main character in TMTF, suffers from depression, has suicidal thoughts, and attempts to kill herself. If you or someone you know is thinking of harming themselves, please get help. Remember, you are loved <3 Never, ever forget that.
