notes are just a way of revenge. If you truly want to say goodbye to everyone, go see them in person, hang out with them, let them enjoy your company for a day. Don’t let on that anything is wrong. Tell them things that you were too scared to do before, only the good things. Let their last memory of you be a good one. If you have people that have wronged you, tell them politely what they have done and that you forgive them. Make peace with everyone. Maybe along the way you realize that your death will hurt more people then you realize. I myself soldier through for the sake of my mother and sister. I still long for my heart to give out, or some unavoidable accident to lull me into that sweet nothingness. But I carry on and smile when I want to cry, I laugh when I really want to scream. I realize it’s not just me, I’m not that selfish anymore.
The worst thing you can do is leave people in the dark. It is NOT helping them in the slightest. When they wake up one morning to hear what you’ve done to yourself, and it comes as the biggest shock of their lives; that’s the single most selfish thing you could EVER do. You’ve evidently given up – but that’s no reason to do what you plan to do to these people who love you. They will suffer – their sadness will be far more than what you’re feeling now.

There’s always someone you’ll forget about. You can’t say goodbye to everyone – but you can do your best.
Hey Penny,
What’s up? I thought you had decided on a different approach? That being said….I vote for no note.
