A LETTER TO AN EARLIER SELF

Kahumburuka Tuahuku

In their own words

Dear younger Kahumburuka

Hey, I know you have many questions about your life journey and there's time you feel unsure and doubt your decision.

I know you don’t feel loved right now but there will be one person who will love you for who you are.

You will always have friends, choose wisely friends that will lead you in to the right decision of the life you want. You will get advice from friends, people around you and choose the ones will lead you to great life.

life is full of setbacks and don't be afraid of restarting again, don't be afraid of asking when you are not sure.
