“I'm sorry. Dear parents, I'm sorry I'm such a disappointment. I'm sorry I can't make good enough grades. I'm sorry I can't live up to your expectations. Dear friends, I'm sorry I can't keep a long term relationship with any of you. I'm sorry I lose connection after a while. I'm sorry I never stayed. Dear people at my school, I'm sorry I'm weird. I'm sorry I don't fit in. I'm sorry I don't look as good as you guys. Dear myself, I'm sorry I hurt you. I'm sorry input you down. I'm sorry I made you miserable. But most of all I'm sorry I was born.”
