Courage

In the beginning of this year, we read the book "To Kill A Mockingbird", and it was such a deep book. Courage was one of its main themes. And then we had to write a newspaper article about anything from the book, and I chose to write a tribute to Mrs Dubose.

You know, she's so brave. Under those layers of harsh remarks crude insults lay such a strong and beautiful soul. But only Atticus saw that side of her. Why? Cuz he cared to unscrew the bottle that she kept her feelings in, waiting for someone who cares enough to unscrew it. 

You're just like her. The opposite of her. Under your cheerful smiles and lame jokes lay such a vulnerable and fragile soul, hanging in there by a thin thread. You're gonna fall soon, I know that. Actually if I were you I would have fallen so long ago already. You know, you're really strong. Really. 

I don't know how you went through all of this chaos with that in your mind. I can't even imagine. The fear, the anxiety, the stress. But you did it. I don't know how you feel now. I don't think I'll ever understand until I experience it for myself. But honestly, I don't want something like that to happen to me ever. 

People say, tough times bring out someone's true colours. Yeah, I saw your true colours, and you know what, they were so beautiful. 

I don't know what to tell you, cuz I know nothing that is said or done to you can solve the problem. But I really care for you and I want you to know that. 

Well I may not be any professional, but if you need a shoulder to cry on, a person to vent to, an ear to be listened to, a hug to be given to, or even someone to argue with, never forget, I'm right here. Waiting for you. Always. 

So stay strong my friend, and
