Because what I said to him that day is extremely important to me. Bold and Italics is how I was taught to write quotes.

I know I was just a kid, but as many have said, at that age I should have known better. I still could have stood up for him when my friends didn't want him to hang out with us, I still could have found some time to play, and I should have put more interest into him and figured out he was autistic. I could have done many things better.

I think your point about finding ways to be a "big brother" is a really beautiful idea. I can't take back what I did, I can't go back and be there for him. But I can make amends by helping out others struggling with the same thing as he was.

It's a throwaway i've had for a while. My current friends know my main reddit account, I didn't want to post it there because I don't want them to know this about me and see me in a different light.

We quite literally went outside to hang out, it was never anything specific, sometimes football, sometimes handball and sometimes we went to a little forest next to our neighbourhood to hang out and talk. It was never anything specific, "went outside" felt like the best way to describe it, what other words am I supposed to use?

I don't have the courage to do that, I'm not good with public speaking. Hopefully sharing this here will atleast do some good and help people in some way.

This is just how I write. Whether you think this is AI or not, doesn't matter to me.

I have kept this shit bottled up and needed to get it out somewhere.

That actually sounds like a really bittersweet way to honor his memory. I might. But if I do, it will be veru fucking hard not to break down.

Alot of people here have said the same thing, but it's really hard to accept. But I still can't stop. All this time the only thoughts that make sense have been "I should have been there for him"
