Hi, I’m still alive. Today you felt a feeling called sonder; when you realize other people have lives. One of your aunts that you don’t really know is about to pass away. She called you a pretty little bird, not in real life, but she still called you that. I wanted to die not long ago December 21 of last year. How would the family feel losing two? I’m happy and sad that I’m thinking this way. She and I had things in common and I didn’t even know that. She likes * too, and * *. Do you think I would have known that if I talked to her last year? It’s selfish of me to have regrets, when I didn’t even know her like that. I really thought I had a place for people I didn’t know that well, I thought I didn’t care. But I do, and I wish I knew, I wish we could have had a small chat. Maybe I could have heard her call me a pretty bird in real life.
