Dear Craig,

My name is Sam, and I’m 18 years old. A few months ago, I went through a really bad break-up. The kind where you think about them all the time, and wonder “why?” The kind where after its “done,” you still feel the other person next to you when you go to sleep at night. The kind that aren’t supposed to happen, but do anyway. 

But I digress. She gave me no explanation, which is worse then knowing what happened, because there was no closure. I tied one end of a tie to the chandelier, and the other end around my neck, noose style. Before I kicked the chair, the thought popped into my head “This is probably gonna hurt. Why don’t I listen to some music? It did always lessen the pain…”

I went back upstairs to grab my ipod. I came back down, tied the end around my neck again, and blasted “Baby, you wouldn’t last a minute on the creek” (I know you’re in D.R.U.G.S. now, but the song always touches me in moments of sadness).

From that moment on, I could not kick the chair. My feet wouldn’t move. The thought that “I have some unfinished business” persisted. 

I can never thank you enough for what your music has done for me.

Sincerely, 
Sam
