Dear Candide,

Hope this letter reaches you wherever you may be in the world embarking on another exciting journey. I was saddened to hear that you have been expelled from your home. But, you know what, when one door closes, another opens. Maybe this trip to somewhere uncharted will help you figure out where you truly belong. Home is what you make of it and your story is the journey of how you get there.

You are an optimistic person so don’t let the beliefs of others around you fool you into altering your own beliefs. Lately, I have been experiencing that others opinions have affected the way I think about things. People may think you are lost because you don’t have an address but you are not. Barons home wasn’t yours because you were treated as an outsider. Now, you are on your way to finding your own home. I have been meaning to tell you how proud I am of you for purchasing the freedom of those close to you. You are helping them find their home in a sense. Cunegonde will also be proud and I am sure she is eagerly awaiting for your arrival.    

 I hope your journey takes you far in life and you find a place that you can call your own. Do not forget, home isn’t a place rather, it is a feeling of belonging.  No matter how lost you are or how far you’ve gone, I will be here.

Sincerely,

Your friend, Sumaiya

PS. Come home, its past your curfew
