Bo Burnham Secrets

Dear Bo,

This year I had no idea what I was going to do. I was sad, depressed, and alone. I had an hour long bus ride every day, back and forth from the hell hole they call school. Listening to my iPod, I heard a familiar song that I hadn’t listened to in a while. I don’t remember which song it was, but it was a song off of your original “Bo Burnham” album. I looked through my iPod to find you and then hit the shuffle button. I can’t tell you how many times I re-listened to that amazing album. I was wondering what you had been up to, so I checked your twitter and saw you were coming out with an album entitled “Words, Words, Words.” I was so excited for it. Brand new content! I bought it the day it came out. That album got me through so many of those terrible days. The days where I got onto that bus and told myself I was going to hurt myself when I got home. I had no one to be there for me, you were the only person who I felt had a connection with me. I like poetry and instruments, too. Who went through the constant torture of people who think that they’re better than you, too. I know you like to think you’re just an artist who just happens to put an impact on people’s lives - that’s just because you’re so humble. Bo, I know this is a long-stretch but you changed my life. You’re an inspiration for me to keep waking up and treading through High School. Someday I hope to be as talented as you, and stand up the kids who decide to push me around. I’m listening to Nerds on repeat as I write this, and practically crying.

Thank you so much Mr. Burnham. Thank you for having my back. Thank you for being a person that’s always there for me no matter the issue. Thank you for making me smile.
