Dear Soundgarden

Please, sit down before you read this. I have to tell you something, and I know that it’s going to upset you. But I’m telling you for your own good.

It’s been 12 years. You’ve been waiting all this time, always so hopeful — some would say naive. At first, we all admired you for being steadfast and patient. It was a good thing that you were willing to keep following your dream. But eventually, it just became sad. The rest of us had moved on, but you just kept blindly wishing, clinging to this pathetic fantasy of yours. Even now, everytime I hear from you, it’s all you talk about. Well, it’s about time that somebody told you the truth about this situation.

The black hole sun is not going to come.

There, I said it.

I know this will be hard for you to hear and that you might have to pass through some feelings of denial before you can really embrace the truth. But I care about you and I just think it’s time for you to get over this and move ahead with your life.

I’m sorry.

Sincerely,

Dylan Belden
