My name is Baroma, I'm 11 years old, I live in the 16th arrondissement of Paris, in a mansion of the rich. My parents are rich and my family is rich. So my sister and I can be considered rich. Even so, even if I am so lucky and so rich, I knew a long time ago that I was destined to be trapped in a goldfish tank for the rest of my life, hitting the same glass as the old man. Like flies in the window, adults spend their time in goldfish bowls. The only sure thing is that I don't jump into the goldfish bowl. I've thought about it. After the end of this school year, on my 12th birthday, on June 16th this year, 165 days later, I'll cut myself off.

I will not allow myself to rot and rot because of the decision to commit suicide. The important thing is not death, nor how old you are, but what you do at the moment of death.

Even if it doesn't make sense, you have to overcome it mentally.

Paul Joss, a former minister, is now a member of Congress. He is very busy, worried about the country and the people, smart and brilliant. Although he is still called family care, he is also more important than family, but he often resigns.

In chess, you have to kill the opponent to win. The most powerful thing about Go is that you have to survive to win, and you have to try to keep the opponent alive. Life and death are only the result of whether the layout is good or not. The most important thing is to make a good layout. .

Chasing the stars is not like the remnant of a goldfish in a tank.

On Tuesday, June 5th, I was gradually approaching June 16th. I was not afraid. It was because I felt that it was absolutely necessary that I decided to cut myself off. Just like this unknown moment, I gently slipped into eternal sleep. Adults have doubts when it comes to death, but they don’t know that death is the most ordinary thing in the world. Once you make a decision that few people can understand, don’t let it go, lest the most precious plan will soon be rejected by others. destroy.

Although the dose is high, I might fall into a coma. , some studies say it's not fatal, so when the box is full, I take two. I'm 28kg, and I have to eat at least 38 pills. It should be enough to collect so many pills.

Ozu Yoko, granddaughter of Mr. Ozu Grand, Dokin, the only heir of a large Japanese family, will interrupt her studies in the future and marry the son of a wealthy banker. After three days of drug treatment, she will be in a spotless home. four children. Yoko Ozu would end up in divorce and become a billionaire, alcoholic, depressed woman. As for me, is my destiny written on my forehead? I just believe in my destiny, so I want to die, but what if I can make myself what I haven’t become? Can I make my life become what it was meant to be?

Some people commit suicide by jumping out of windows. I think it's ridiculous. I'm afraid of pain. Can't be free from pain, why die?

As far as the constant enjoyment of pain is concerned, only mental analysis is comparable to religion Michel

In front of the TV, there was a fat cat purring on a throw pillow covered with a knitted pillow, and the smell of casserole was overflowing.

Michelle: She didn't recognize me
Ozu: That's because she never took a good look at you

Michelle: If I could, I wanted to laugh, but I was thinking about Manu La, she'll blame herself for the rest of her life for hitting me with a laundry van, and punish me for stealing clothes, oh, Niepdu, that's stupid, I still want to laugh, death makes a mess, Grand, my heart is like a huddle Group of kittens. I want to have one last glass of sake with you. How to define the value of life? Paloma, may your future be as good as you hoped.

Everything stops, is this death? Never see the person you love again, if this is death, it's really a tragedy, as everyone said.
