Dear Yhang,
I know you’ve been waiting for me to
finally come along, for us to meet, to have that ‘slow mo’ moment, for one of
your dreams to be granted, for you to believe in the power of prayer again, but
please understand why it’s taking a little longer.
I still got a lot of growing up left
to do. I have to understand myself better: strengths and weaknesses, what trips
me off, what excites me, my motivations and aspirations, my personal goals. No
doubt, I’ll commit mistakes and will get hurt so that when we finally meet, I’m
stronger and more prepared to face the tides of life with you.
Please keep believing. Believe on the
goodness of people. Don’t put up those walls right away when you meet a
stranger you do not like. They may not have the same perspectives as you do,
but who knows, they may have good and pure hearts. Give them a chance; learn to
listen to their stories if the situation asks for it. Be there when they need a
shoulder to lean on. Of course, it is inevitable that there are those who look
like a saint on the surface but a beast inside. Be sensitive enough to
distinguish and identify them as early as you can. Test them. Protect yourself
always.
Never cease praying. No, don’t just
pray for me, a yet unknown soul in planet of about 9 billion people. Pray for
your family, your country, and those who are in the midst of conflicts on
different parts of the world. I think about them the same way I think about
you. Just the thought of you fuels me to face each day with cheer in my core. I
wonder how you look like, the tone of your voice, your laughter, your eyes, how
you wear your hair.
I don’t want us to just be passive
citizens of the world but contributors and workers for other people to be
awakened to the reality that we should care about each other; that they may
transform their societies towards the echelon of authentic progress.
In that moment when you wanted to
give up, when you feel like I don’t exist, I will show up not with a tie and
suit and greasy hair; not as a fountain of answers to all your worries; not as
dashing prince charming riding a white horse under the summer sun. I will show
up at a time you least expected. You’ll know that I have arrived because I will
never give up on you even if you’ve put up a wall before I said “Hi” to you.
You’ll know that I am the one that you’ve been waiting for because I will never
let you doubt my sincerity and love for you. And then, I will show this to you
and you’ll understand why it took me a while.
You’ll never be alone again.
Sincerely Yours,
Your Man.
