When I reached the last page I saw a link to where to write a letter if you want to. I decided to use this opportunity to tell you that I wish you were still here, because you deserve to be here despite your mistakes. I&#8217;ve told you so many times before in other letters, but I really, truly mean it. You seemed to make the world such a better place when you were here. But Kurt, I also wanted to say that despite me loving you so much&#8230; I have to say that I think you made some horrible decisions that make me angry with you, even now, years later. Even though I was born after you died&#8230;. It&#8217;s just, dammit Kurt.  Why would you think that doing drugs would help? Why would you think that killing yourself  would help? It didn&#8217;t. It only left your wife, your friends, and the rest of the world to grieve over you. I know you&#8217;re smarter than that.<br \/>\nThere was a time when I thought everything you did was amazing. When I was young, and naive. But I can clearly see that you were a flawed human being just like the rest of us. In a sense, that makes me have more respect for you than I did when I was young and just loved you because I loved a couple of songs by Nirvana.<br \/>\nWhatever, this letter is pretty pointless. I guess, if anything, it shows that I&#8217;ve grown up enough to realize that you didn&#8217;t want to be anyone&#8217;s idol for a reason. I&#8217;m sorry Kurt. But I still love you, and I&#8217;m still angry that you&#8217;re not here to continue making beautiful music for us all to enjoy. That&#8217;s all I have to say. You likely won&#8217;t know about this, or maybe you will, I don&#8217;t know how the afterlife works. Goodnight Kurt.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve written countless letters to you before, even before I read &#8220;Love Letters to the Dead&#8221;, but since I just re read it I remembered how long it&#8217;s been.
