Dear Zoe

Thank You. Thank You for writing that incredible novel Philip, Thank You everyone who worked on bringing this story to the screen.

Your work has helped me on this journey of healing. There's so much broken inside me, but this, all of this, all you've done, has helped and will continue to help for the rest of my life.

To anyone reading, if you're going through something, anything, I hope this work of art can bring-or has brought-you something tangible and special like it brought me.

I decided to go and take in the film and novel just because of the name. There was a kind of a calling in it, an invite to take a moment and experience a story. I had no idea it would have so many effects on me, links to my life, lines on paper and screen that still resonate with everything before, and everything after.

And all those drawings... how perfectly captured, created, drawn, made and *told*. Thank You for the Notebook, too.
