So you're gonna kill yourself too. All these people and nobody was considerate enough to give you opinion about suicide notes, as you asked! Here is my thoughts on suicide, and I thought plenty.
One thing that I am worried about is other people. I dont want a friend/relative finding me dead. Not only it will be unpleasant but could also get him in trouble with the law. They might even think he/she killed me. So I worked on a plan to be discovered by strangers. I'd share it with you in more depth if you care to know. I also care about my parents, how they'll feel. It would be better to die after they are gone. I'd feel better.
About suicide notes: they are mandatory! Otherwise possible legal trouble for strangers/family/etc. And they'll never know why you did it. Make it long, really long, and pour your heart out. Dont blame anyone for it, its not fair with that person. Its OUR choice, no one is murdering us. Dont write stupid shit like "I'm sorry, I dont mean to hurt anyone, blah blah blah." Write with all your spirit for once in your life. Its your last words in this mad universe. And write it yourself, dont print it!! So people will know its really you who wrote it...
Here is my story:
Male, 23 yo. I have a failed suicide atempt in my book. I always thought "how can someone be so stupid as to fail in a suicide?". Guess Im the stupid now. It wasnt a cry for help, dam it! It was a real attempt, though I now recognize as naive and badly thought out. But I was much younger then.
I was born with a deformity in the face. Its disgusting to look at. I have never been kissed or even huged by a girl. People dont look at me. Even my parents sometimes I can tell they are trying not to look at me. I dont blame them. So I tried to kill myself, and failed. Ended up in a hospital, locked up. A doctor there sat me down and told me: "Write down one thing you have to do before you die." I said "nothing, just wanna die". But he kept insisting, day after day, till one day I wrote "have sex". And he said: "then do it, and then if you still want to kill yourself, think if there isnt one more thing in that list still." I thought he was full of shit trying to "trick me into living", and he was, but whatever, bottom line is for the first time I thought about how much I wanted to try that before I die.
When I got out I hired a hooker. (I really dont want to call her that, her name is Kim). I'd do it in a dark room so she wouldn't see my face. My friend Matt helped me set it all up. Then when she came I gave up the idea. I was scared and ashamed, I felt bad for using the girl like this, that it was all wrong and that I was a creep. I felt like shit and sent her away, in the dark, whithout even touching her. But she said "Since you already paid for it, we might as well sit in the dark and talk a while". So we talked for hours, even though she was suposed to leave soon. She dint leave. I told her everything, the hell I live in. And she told me about her life, how hard it had been for her. I felt she was one of the bravest person I knew, and I aposlogised for using her like that. And she said:
"You're a nice man. Sometimes in this work I meet all kinds of creeps, and I fell really really bad about myself sometimes. But sometimes I just meet a gut who is lonely and tired and nice, that needs warmth and someone he can be honest with. And then I feel really good about what I do. Anyway, its my choice and I forbid you to feel bad about my life, just as I dont never feel bad for yours. Dont look down on me like that, ever."
In the end we had sex. It changed my life. I cannot explain it in words, so dont even bother. DO IT. But DONT go hurry and be sloppy and find one of those creeps whos gonna use you and make you feel like shit. Find someone who respects you, and make sex an spiritual thing, because it is. Even if it takes time, look for that person. He doesnt have to be in love with you, forget that bullshit. But he must be nice and polite and treat you with respect and tenderness. Do it.
I decided to postpone my sucide. I dont have to do it in a hurry. Just knowing its still there waiting for me gives me peace. I can get out of this pain anytime I want, its the one thing no one can take away from me. But it dosnt have to be today. My death is my friend now, always looking over my shoulder but not insisting anymore, not in a hurry anymore.
I look at life with a diferent view now and the looks of disgust and the little kids who are scared of me and all the girls who pretend I dont exist and all the mirrors in the world dont bother me so much. I can always end it whenever I want, so I might stick around for a little while longer. Even if you're f#cked up like me there are SOME things you HAVE to do before you die.
There is one more thing I have to do before I die. I wrote it down in a paper. "Climb the Everest". Stand on the top of the world and scream my lungs out. If I'm lucky, die there.
Im not a climber, and its incredibly dangerous. Its gonna take years in hard work, training, saving and preparation but I dont care. Its a few more years with Kim in our dark room, and I thank the Everest for that. Then maybe the Everest kills me, spares me all the trouble. I'd go as a hero, and not a coward.
It would be awesome.
And if it doesnt, there is ONE more thing in my list. Maybe two.
