Lovely, 1.

Dearest.
I write to you without knowing where you may be. I write to you even if I do not know who you are.
Today I leave for Germany, to study. I leave my home with a heavy heart, high sugar levels and a broken family. I wonder if I should not leave home, but where will that wondering leave me?
I will continue to write to you, you whose presence I know nothing about. You whose face escapes me. You will know of me, of the people I meet in my travels. Of the cities I escaped from and the cities I harbor myself in. I am from the mountain, but now I face the seas, the open air, the adventure.
What joy it is, the unknown. What pleasure does the unexpected bring.
Bring this to my heart, in the hopes it will heal someday.
I love you.
