Dear friends and acquaintances,

the world is too cruel for me..

people are so selfish…

I don’t have any support in my entire life—

everyone, even you, leaves me…

I don’t see any love or light—

I see nothing but a bleakness, darkness, and death…

everyone is much happier without me..

I see everyone, including you, is /are better off without me including I make mistakes…

I was the mistake for a whole reason..

I‘ve always been the problem to everyone…

I see the world are much more peaceful and delightful if I wasn’t exist …

I don’t have any future—

I see loneliness and bleakness even much more when I get older…

I don’t know what love is…

I don’t see anything beautiful to this world…

I'm sorry that I wasn’t a good friend or something to you…

everything is too much for me…
