In my opinion, leaving a note behind that's lengthy and rambling
i'm curious, do you agree that a note can be lengthy without "rambling?" personally, i think it depends on how many people are being addressed in said note (i.e. instead of writing several, writing one slightly longer note)! i also think people have different reasons for writing notes, some want to comfort others, and some want to be comforted (and may feel this through admittedly rambly writing). that being said, if someone's goal is to appear logical, i agree with keeping it concise.
people would attribute the 'babbling' to mental illness… effectively negating any legitimate points that the note might contain.
idk i feel like the fact that someone ctb already puts that idea in people's mind. regardless of how well constructed a note may be it will always be seen as the ramblings of a suicidal freak. i feel like no one expects a suicide note to be perfectly well-rounded or perfectly logical, but i get your point nonetheless! for example, if someone writes their note while in distress, everyone will be able to tell through reading it fairly quickly. personally, i plan to just say my goodbyes to people. those in my life should be well aware of why i want to die already (it's no secret), so i see no point explaining lengthily. they're not really going to understand regardless haha
and sorry for the long response, i just thought your perspective was interesting!
