Dear Bonnie!

Here I am, sitting in a boring room, surrounded by four walls and write a letter to the old
me. Oh, I forget to tell you who am I! Hi there, this is the older version of you, a 20-year-
old girl who finally can study at a higher education.

I write this letter because I really miss you, I miss the little girl who has to witness too
much sadness and cried all time. Still remember the day you went to primary school,
you met new friends, having the best teacher ever in grade 1, until everything collapsed
when you got into grade 2, your bestfriend betrayed you and you had to cope with head
teacher, she treated you badly and I knew you were scared of going to school..Time
flew as finally you could get out of that terrified school, you continued to go to secondary
school, and well things became worse and worse, because of your cowardliness, you
did not raise your voice or did something that could ease your mind, you just let
everyone ruined your thoughts.

Actually, I do not blame you anything honey, you were too young at that time to figure
out the situation that you were stuck in. Besides, I adore your philanthropic personality,
you are such a nice girl, you barely hurted other feelings or made them burst into tears,
but what I always wonder most is you got into troubles all the time and as you can see
bad luck is your best friend, especially in exams, so freaking weird when I saw you keep
receiving bad grades though you tried your best. But that is okay when you made a hit
to surprise your family and friends by having flying colours in the entrance exam to high
school, I took pride in you baby, you had lighted your soul up.

Except from bad things you got at school, I just want to remind you that you had the
most perfect family in this universe, all the family members love you to the moon and
back and they are ready to do anything for you whenever you need, I know sometimes
you felt injustice because they shouted at you when you made only a small mistake, but
now when I am writing these words to you, I realize how deep is their love, they just
have a wish turning you into a good person.

I guess the “you” in 10 years ago was kinda clumsy, you performed everything in a
uncertain way, due to your shyness. You hardly did anything perfectly which drove you
crazy sometimes, but I still proud of you because after all the things I have surpassed
you were still a good girl. Did you remember the time that you were on the edge of
depression due to you classmate? She turned you from an optimist to a pessimist, what
a horrible period right? But thanks to that girl, you asked your teacher to change the
seat and sat next to another which is now she is the most fantastic friend ever in your
life. Well, sometimes I wish I could went back to the pass to meet you and tell you what
to do, pull you from the collapse in your heart, right now, after thinking trillion times
about the “over-thinking” in me, I ultimately become the strongest person you have
never know. I really love you, my sweetie, you did great job, as you can see, from the
failure you can build another new you who is me right now.

Now I am going to tell you about my future plans, I desire to be a zoologist as I think I
am really good at taking care of animals, I will have a go to this field, and you know why
I choose this occupation? Well..because in this cruel world while people keep lying to
each other, animals do not, they will repay you if you show your love to them. Besides, I
love working with these adorable creatures. Another thing is I can not have that job in
Viet Nam, you and I have been waiting to immigrate to Australia since we were in grade
2, it has been a long time huh? I hope after this pandemic is over, I am able to move
there and have a new life with my family. Have you ever imagined how is life in Aussie?
To me, I am sure that the first thing when I set my foot on that beautiful continent, I
definitely buy two dogs and a fancy cat, I gonna make our dream comes true. Oh!
Maybe I will open a bakery store located next to my father’s hospital to sell cakes for
everyone, I am a slave of sweetfood lol. That’s all I can think about, hopefully, these
wishes can be carried out.

I have a faith in myself so do not worry about me, okay? I am going to be the best
version of me, I will rise from the mess I have made and heal my soul, lifting my head
up. Just just me!

Love you sincerely, older Bonnie!
