>>40695068 (OP)
i have written and destroyed/deleted multiple. the current version is very simple and, i hope, nonchalant enough that the reader will not feel worse or as though i for some reason sadistically intend for them to feel worse after reading. i want to offer closure and let everyone know i love them and that it isn't their fault, but not be too presumptuous re: i-know-you'll-blame-yourself or i-know-you'll-miss-me or i-know-it-might-be-hard. i don't want anyone to feel as though they should feel something they aren't, or possibly, if they actually hate me, then hate me more for assuming they love me (which i realize is insane and exactly the kind of thing that WOULD make someone feel worse, but that's why it's written making no presumptions. just i-love-yous and i-made-this-decision-myselfs). it has a little section at the end in which i've willed a few things and made last wishes (like i want my stuffed animals burned to free their spirits or i want myself buried naked and coffinless, if not thrown right out in the woods etc)
alongside it i have a few pages of just feelings i've vented out progressively whenever i'm sad and feel like writing. i dunno if i'll leave those or get rid of them when the time comes.
i feel like i should do the good thing and tell you that it really does get better, because i honestly, truly believe it does for most people, but i know how you feel. when does it get better? who knows? i don't know if i'm really willing to wait it out. but hang in there, nonny. as long as you can.
