Dear brother,
It's your fifth death anniversary. Though it was an accident, I cannot stop blaming myself for it. All of this happened because of my recklessness, that damn wish to protect my badass reputation. Honestly, I am trying hard enough to change myself , to do good to others but the world seems to have relentless excuses to prohibit me from doing that. You were the only one with whom I could have a proper conversation without losing my mind. You knew I was never that social , people were afraid of me , I liked it , that feeling of ignoring all the crap ,that feeling of not giving a damn ,it was easy and less messy. But now, everything feels out of place , I am trying too hard but it seems as if 'too hard' is'nt hard enough.
Since the day you left me, I have completely changed. I am not that same old irresponsible girl anymore. Whenever, I see a younger guy , I find your dreams lingering in their eyes. It's tough , it's painful dude! I wish you were here buddy. You know, those kids , they present a rude countenance towards me. Previously, I had thought of helping a number of kids . I guessed that this might lessen the guilt present in me, which is slowly engulfing the whole of me.
Today, I saw this kid from my school, who, my classmate said, had lost his mother , the previous month. I could completely synchronize with his condition because I know what it is to lose a person you love more than your life. I came to know that his trauma was bringing down his grades. Moreover, the finals are near . Although I am going to appear for my boards , I surely, can take some time out to help him in his academics . Yes, brother, I did offer a proposal of tutoring him. I know that he needs a friend who is devoid of recklessness at present. He needs to be understood and listened to . I could see my pain burning in him.
But a shade of reluctance covered his face as he heard my offer . He said he would think about it and tell me tomorrow. Till then , yeah, I can wait. :)
Love you!
Your sister, Sophia.
