Dear Lekha,

How are you doing would be the most inappropriate and imbecile question at the moment, and in fact a cliche you so hate. But pardon me, but cliches are an art and part of our lives, and some of those annoying things we can never avoid.

Much like the reasons why you are here.

I know you don't entertain preaching from people, and I'm certainly not one who would sprout sayings to anyone, least of all to someone who won't welcome it. And anyway I would humor myself considering that what I'm going to tell you is more of a man to man advice given by someone who cares for your well-being.

Don't ever try to hurt yourself for people who aren't worth it Lekha. Taking your life is only going to give them a false impression that they are so important to you. Now, do you want you to be remembered for all the wrong reasons and held in wrong impressions? Certainly not.

You have no business sitting around in boring hospital rooms, with not yet healed slit wrists, and loathsome, pitied or preachy faces surrounding you. You should be out there in your studio instead, painting the next masterpiece.

So what if you're wronged in the basic level, so what if you're subjected to humiliation and violence, so bloody what? Yes, they do hurt you, but it is your fault to give them that power to hurt you. It is entirely your fault if you even for a second believe their venomous words talked about you.

For all the "selfish bitch" titles you have, Lekha, you and I know that you aren't wrong. Deep down, you aren't a person who would hurt anyone - not even them, willingly or unwillingly. See even now it's you whom you chose to hurt. But really, is it wroth it? Why should you be punished with no mistake of yours?

You know the answer. And if you know that, realization will come crashing down that you did a terrible mistake. Don't disrespect yourself Lekha. Not for a bunch of nobodies. Now that you got it nailed in your head, start believing it. This is the first time I'm writing to you, and certainly the last time, because in case if you repeat this stupidity, there'd be no one left to read another letter, or for the matter even write. Get that? Anyway, signing off now. I really didn't mean to preach yet it surprisingly sounded like one. Take care, if not for me, for yourself.

Much Love,

Lekha (Who's feeling awfully bored with the free time in hospital and feeling suddenly mature after the stupid act)

A letter by lekha to Lekha. wow. that was really gud. writing to urself - it gives confidence a power to face others and make u to believe urself.

Nobodies shud never be given the required attention but this lesson is always learnt after some burns only. Lekha did get mature but after getting burns.

👍🏼 it was a nice piece of writing.

If only more Lekha's existed. I know that I can't judge someone who has been through hell and for their own reason did try to take their own life but to all of them out there -
It's plain simple waste of efforts. Why? Because your death brings grief all right. Causes us to wonder what we did wrong or where we went wrong but eventually life moves on. You become a stinging memory and that's just it then.
So why waste your efforts huh?!
Instead you could be here showing us how incredible a person you are. Showing us the wonders you can do. Showing the world what you can do.
Love you
Didu

So Lekha has committed suicide and like thousands of other girls being blamed despite of being subjected to violence. No matter how many advices are given by others, things don't fit in one's brain unless you are the only one who is preaching, shouting and advising yourself.
So finally Lekha's letter has been delivered to Lekha's system.

Hello! Remember me? Probably not. 😆 I followed your FF - 99 Notes on the QH Forum.
Before you keep reading, I swear, I'm not a crazed pyscho stalker, I promise! 😭
Well, to be honest, I've already read this on your blog. Brats Thoughts, right? I've been secretly stalking it forever. 😆 I don't have an account, though, so I don't leave comments and stuff. (BTW, ever plan on updating Finally Found You? I'M UTTERLY IN LOVE WITH THAT ONEEE. :D ) I also read The Runaway Bride, If It Wasn't For the Night (which is my favorite completed work of yours), and all the one shots. (Mr. Olive Green Tree = genius. That one was on the QH forum too, wasn't it? It's my fave OS of yours, I think.)
Anyways, *long rant over*.
Ah, I so love your writing. You're truly gifted. <3
I loved this OS. It was so beautiful. I can't even find the words to describe it.
The last sentence caught me - and many other people, I'm sure - way off guard. I thought it was gonna be a lover or something like that (I know, I'm stupid). xD
All-in-all, I just adore this! :D
Okay, don't worry now, the ridiculous comment is now over. :)
