The title. I just cut off ties with my best friend of over 11 years. We had been through hell and forth together. I should have handled it better, but I did not know. They became my fp a year ago and I had been picking up fights with them for that reason for a while now. Basically, I would cook up reasons and fuck this up for no fault of theirs. I messed this up so bad and I am sloshed and I have to see them every single day of my life even though I just made it clear to them that we are done. I don't know how I will survive once this alcohol wears off.

The title. I understand that one reason is that non-brahmins prefer taking up their father's name for obvious reasons. However, I have met tambram's who have taken up their father's name, while I have seen some families continue with the same family name (rajagopalan etc). I have been very curious and my tamil friends have been unable to answer this. Thank you.

TW: death, suicide

Over 2 years ago, I lost a friend to suicide. We had talked earlier that morning. I had not told him that I loved him (platonically) that morning because I was pissed at him. I had actually not said I love you to him in a long while, even though I was there for him. I thought my gestures were louder than words.

Over 8 years, my uncle passed away by accidental electrocution at his own home at like 9am. I never told him that I loved him either because I was a child and not very expressive.

I know a lot of people who have also lost their loved ones to death out of nowhere, suicide or otherwise. Heart attacks. Freak accidents. Car crashes. Life is short and random and you never know what might happen.

I do not miss any chance to tell my loved ones that I love them anymore. Say it so that you don't go to your deathbed with regrets. Say it so that they can leave with some peace when their time on earth was cut short. Say it because it might save a life.
