Send me one “Dear—-” and I’ll write a letter to this person
I know it is strange write something to someone who will never read this, because I am not that defenceless girl who used to live in the Rukongai, who always wanted attention, who just used to fight every day to survive, I am not that person anymore. Nevertheless if we share something is that constantly wish to improve, to grow up, to simply be a little better every day. It feature is the reason of who I am now.
I know the dark life of Rukongai and the horrible thing you have seen and made it is torturing you, I am aware of the feeling and I can still feel it in my gloomy and sad days. That place left deep and sorrowful scars and some of them have no cure, neither the time has made me change those facts, memories and feeling but I have experienced things as dreadful in my actually life.
Probably you think I am writing this only to remind how terrible is the life in the district or to tell you that I have never achieved it part of my life. To the contrary, I just want to say you all I have lived, all the bad and good thing I have experienced made me the person I am, and actually I am proud of who I am. Sometimes the pain is our best teacher and I must admit is our case. Pain could have made us resentful and hateful person or could have transformed in compassionate grateful ones. I can imagine you know which our case is and just want to tell you two last things:
You are stronger than you think.
Let everything goes accord it rhythm and await for the best.
I say goodbye wishing you the best of the lucks and I encourage you to always improve.
