Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.

-Jalāl ad-Dīn Muhammad Rūmī

Dear Suleqa,

Doesn't it feel good to be alive? What does it feel like to know the whole world is against you? For the past couple of days, I have stuck by your side as a good friend. I defended you when others didn't. What did I get in return? You betrayed me. You left me to my own vices. I needed to do something to get out of the hellhole that I'm living in. My biological family is gone --they've been dead to me for so long. Lord knows where they're currently living. You have been my only family for the longest time that I can recall having some type of family unit. But you left me. Everybody makes their own bed and lays in it. I suppose that I'm laying in my coffin now.

Thanks for everything that you did.

Sincerely,
The One Who Didn't Matter to You
Your Best Friend
