suicide isn't an option.
dear friend,
i know you may not read this since it's the aftermath of the prelims.
and that means everyone is, well, very much upset. including you and me and quite a few others too. i am an idealist, a dreamer, an optimist while you are the realist, the cynicist, the eternal pessimist. between the two worlds, none of them are better, simply because both are extremes. with 39 days left, 5 As is a tall order, no doubt. but surely, there is something you can do. and perhaps, something i can do.
sometimes, the answers are in our heads and it's just that we couldn't cough 'em out in time. or perhaps we were so caught up with our race against time that we overlooked the lil' details. whichever the case, 39 days might be the key.
'sides, it's the last thing we have left. let's make a deal, shall we?
with these 39 days, you must stop being such a pessimist. really, i admire your courage in making decisions and i like the way you reason things out. and at one point of time in my 2 years of jc life, i should have listened to you(this is the part you'll say, "hate to say i told you so." but really, pride is a troublesome thing.). but sometimes, it takes away the magic. i have a friend whose girlfriend had 4 Us for prelims but who got all As for her "A" Levels. magical? indeed. but like you said before, it's all hard work. yes, an i agree. i, on the other hand, have to be less sloppy with the way i do things. i have to make sure i know everything. not just the bare minumum. or what i think is important. i must be as hard a worker as you. i must force myself to do more. and we will not think about going down or all that rubbish because there are no other ways, but upward and onward.
and one more thing, suicide is not an option. don't even think about it. yes, it's permanent relief for your worries and troubles. but what good does that do? we'll miss you. and so will your other friends. and there's so much more to experience. think about it.
so in the meantime, sort out your thoughts and i'll sort mine.
and of course, be well my friend.
i'll see you soon.
