An open letter to @michaelsheen ...

Hello, I thought I would write an open letter to you, since I& #39;m not in a good place mentally right now and I saw that it made others feel a bit better. I& #39;m a bit anxious, seeing as the last time you responded to me was when I made a tweet...
... while exhausted and sleep deprived, and I think I confused you with my dumb joke (sorry about that, haha!), so hopefully this letter is a bit more coherent and well put together.
I& #39;m a girl from America, and I& #39;m turning 15 this month on the 30th. I& #39;ve been a huge fan...
... of yours for just over a year now, and being a part of your community of fans has contributed greatly to the best year I& #39;ve had since I can remember. I was greatly tormented for all three years of middle school, so the trauma I experienced lead to severe depression and...
... anxiety. I felt like I could never amount to anything or be friends with anyone. Then I graduated middle school, started taking meds, and over the summer I sat down for dinner and my family turned on Good Omens. I instantly became a fan of your work, and then your kind and...
... feral nature caused me to become a fan of you as a person. I started feeling like, just maybe, I could be something. I could follow my dreams of being an actress for film and theater. So I gathered what little strength I had left and signed up for every highschool drama...
... program I could. Now, after a year of interacting with the kind and welcoming people of your fanbase (Stop calling us good omens fans by the way, we& #39;re YOUR fans!), and looking up to you as the greatest role model I& #39;ve ever had, I& #39;ve come so far. I can genuinely say...
... "Great!" in response to how was your day, rather than just grunting pitifully or staying in a melancholy silence. I can take a deep breath, look in the mirror, and tell myself that I& #39;m okay. From the bottom of my heart... thank you. Thank you so very much.
I haven& #39;t...
... been doing wonderfully during quarantine. My medication can& #39;t stop little bursts of depression from getting through, so I& #39;ve been feeling pretty empty for the past few days. At least dealing with my homophobic grandmother has been easier, since I can vent to the friends...
... I& #39;ve made through your fanbase about how hard it is to deal with homophobia in my house as a bi girl. You& #39;ve cultivated such a wonderful following. You should be so proud.
So, even though I& #39;m not at my best right now, writing this letter thanking you for all you& #39;ve...
... done to help me push through and stay alive long enough to get to a better place and follow my dreams has put a smile on my face and tears of joy to my eyes. Words cannot express how much I look up to you, and I can only hope that I will leave even a fraction of the impact...
... that you have made in the film and theater industry. Even if I just make one person smile like you have made me so many times, it will be worth all of the struggles and trauma I& #39;ve faced to get there.

Thank you, truly.

Yours,
Eowyn :P
