Don't ever tell anybody anything. If you do, you start missing everybody. R.I.P

*I'm aware he died days before this post, I started it and never finished it*
The title of this post is the last two lines of the novel, The Catcher in the Rye, a book that changed the way I read books and the way I look at the people in my life. Required for my freshmen English class, Catcher, profoundly moved me. I read it at a strange time in my life. A time where I had just entered High School and started to feel the woes of adolescence. A character who I identified with and cared for was Holden Caulfield, the "protagonist" of Catcher. The book quickly became one of my favorites and pushed me even further into wanting to pursue my own written endeavors.

The author of one of my favorite books, J.D. Salinger, has passed on.

Rest in peace Mr. Salinger.

silence.
