Pāhonoa te oro

Hello… It’s me. The younger you. I am sitting here, tired after work, holding my English book, and I have so many questions for you… the future me. Did we make it? Did we become independent? Did we find a job that makes us feel useful? Did we stop being afraid of speaking? Do people finally listen when we talk? Did we travel somewhere? Anywhere? Did we see the sea? Did we sit somewhere quiet and feel proud? Did we buy something nice for our parents? Did they say, “I am proud of you”?
