stranger,

hello, i'm jk. i'm a bit uncomfortable writing this letter, i hope you aren't able to sense it.

my therapist told me that i should pen down my thoughts, the words i would like to express but never leave my lips.

she said to not just write these, but post them aswell. to an unknown address. apparently, it will give me a feeling that atleast someone is listening to me, be it a stranger.

honestly, it seems a little bullshit, but it doesn't hurt to try, right?

here i am, about to narrate the sad happenings.

i'm 20, dear stranger. i was born in *redacted* and i'm currently studying literature.

i live alone, and have no siblings.

onto the sadder stuff.      (tw; mentions of suicide)

my parents committed suicide when i was about 12.  on their suicide note, they said that due to having faced problems in their jobs, they couldn't earn a lot and provide a good life for me. so, they decided to kill us all.

unfortunately, i survived. and oh, to be the lone survivor.

should i be grateful for the gift called life? or should i show the same cowardice as my parents?

i constantly find myself stuck between these two, wagering which one i should go with.

which one would you go with, dear stranger?

yours sincerely,
-j.jk
