DEAR TEACHER here I am now where you said I’d never be.

I’m writing this from the place that you told me about and it’s as beautiful and terrible as everything you said. You said blue sky and cold and bad roads and worse water. You said snow in the houses and shit in the streets. A *godfearing people* you said. All those fancy descriptions. All that talking down to me like I was six years old.

It’s cold here ok but I never feel cold. I’m with people that know me. I’m with people that will die for me and on my best days when I’m not afraid I know I’ll do the same.

Can you think of one thing you can say that about?

You were right about this country and the way that it would take me. Dear Teacher I should have known better. I should have been careful. You were right about all that but you were wrong about one thing.

You said I’d never make it to this place. And here I am.
