Dear Neighbour,
I hope you are doing great today?
Thoughts of you just crossed my mind and i thought i should write you this letter.
I just want to thank you for being such a good neighbour and great friend to me. I look back at my life and i see you were always there for me, thanks.
As i look back also, i see all these years that you wanted me to be perfect and fit that little, sweet, fantastic image you have created in your mind for me and i see that i have always fallen short of that. I used to beat myself up, fight with myself and blame me, for being unable to meet up with your image of me. I used to try, but you never take note of my effort.
As a matter of fact, the more i tried, the more i failed.
I can't continue trying to be that person you want me to be, not because i can't keep trying, but because i never will be able to be that person, i can only be me.
I am Tongryang, full flesh human, with short comings and imperfections, but beyound that, i am a good human being, who strives to be the best i can be, who try to touch the lives of as many people as i can touch.Am created to create positive impact and to serve God through that. That is what i am doing.
Dear neighbour, i have discovered who i am and am being true to myself. Can you also try to discover who you are and do the thing you were created for? Yes! off course, i know you can. So dear, instead of concentrating on finding fault with me,( cause trust me you will always find them) why dont you try discovering yourself, that way, you wouldnot even have time for me.
I didnot intend this letter to be long, i just wanted to tell you i never will be able to be that person you want me to be, so just let me be and find a way of being you. Lets be true to who are and the world would be a better place.
I have to go now. Take care of yourself.
Love you.
Yours Truly,
Tongryang.
