Salvation -an excerpt.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
There’s a place we can go to if you can wean yourself from your sadness, a place where you can start over.

A place you’ve never been before; where people accept you without questions and don’t bring up your past.

A place where we take time off from the real world, from the world that moves too fast for us.

A place where all the bad things that have happened to you are but a distant past.

A place where the sun doesn’t burn but shine, a place where the water is pure, a place where the ground has never been trodden.

A place just for people like us.

A place to heal until when you’re ready to face the world again. And when that happens, you’ll realize,



Now I am truly free.

    I'm still trying to figure out the coordinate Miss Taichee :)

    But don't worry, once I've found out the location, I'll inform you and then maybe we can go there together.

    No problem at all Miss/Mr. Chinese Lesson.

    I think I spelled the word wrongly, the correct pinyin is:

    jing(4)bu(4)

    which means, improvement.

  4. i am somehow reminded of V for Vendetta, when V locked Evie up and she read the letter from a former prisoner, the lesbian actress. Somehow rather, I think the last few verse of the letter resonates this.

  5. I've never seen V for Vendetta. Salvation was simply a letter I wrote to myself based on my own experiences.

    Nurulazreenazlan is too long. I hope you're ok with me using your nickname.

    Yep, I think the verses contain the essence of freedom :) A lot of people wish to get to that place actually.

  10. Azreen: Nah,I'm just being paranoid.This is the second time that someone tells me the letter reminds them of a movie.I'm so curious about both movies that I've downloaded both of them.Now I just have to find time to watch both of them.

    47:Thanks, but I always try to write about impersonal stuff.This is one of those rare moments.
