This was an extremely painful read, which made it difficult to read. It was unfortunately very relatable, too. Don't read this during a depressive episode like I did. Huge mistake on my part. It started off sad and just got sadder and sadder. I’m genuinely not sure what message the author was trying to deliver here other than "life sucks and then you die."
