Hunter S. Thompson's Final Words 📝 (2005)

Long-suffering from depression and the accompanying years of alcohol and coc@ine abvse contributing to it, the American author and journalist Hunter S Thompson always found February a "gloomy" month, with football season over and the harsh Colorado winter weather not over. Upset over his advancing age and chronic medical problems, including a hip replacement, he frequently muttered: "This kid is getting old." On February 20, 2005, Thompson died from a s3lf-infl!cted gvnsh0t wound to the head.
In the days before he died, Thompson wrote a note to his wife, titled "Football Season Is Over." "No More Games. No More B0mbs. No More Walking. No More Fun. No More Swimming. 67. That is 17 years past 50. 17 more than I needed or wanted. Boring. I am always bitchy. No Fun — for anybody. 67. You are getting Greedy. Act your age. Relax — This won't hurt."
