Sorry but not sorry

[auto138491]

I know that most suicide notes have two common themes - I am sorry, and I Love you.
I want to say both - I AM sorry that the people left behind have to go through pain and grief.
And I do love them.

But i am NOT sorry for putting myself and my needs first.
I need this release, and I am not apologetic for it. When we have lived a life for others, even in death, we think more of their grief than our own daily pain that finds no relief at all.

I want to prioritise me. And for that, I cannot be sorry.

I think being honest in your suicide note can be a source of closure for them. It might console them that this was a thought-out and freely made choice as opposed to something inflicted on you in desperation.
