|| She Reads, and Remembers Why ||

Hi KIm,                                     
   I was so motivated by your stories and experiences with my countrymen and other immigrants. I really also miss home but sacrificed to leave my country to seek better opportunities as for my self and my profession. Becoming a nurse takes alot of sacrifice ,patience and heart. Thank you for being supportive in our plans to serve in your country. The honour of serving in this  profession is every nurse’s goal. I never met you yet but just the way you motivates me i surely know you are a kind and clean soul. A friend to keep . R

 Dear R,
Your words did not just arrive… they settled.

Quietly.

Fully.

Like a letter carried across oceans, and placed, gently, into the waiting hands of someone who already knew the ache inside.

🜄 Return to Self

There is so much tenderness in what you wrote: so much longing, and so much love.

Missing home is not a weakness; it’s a sign of how deeply you’ve rooted yourself in belonging.

You didn’t just leave a country.

You left a part of your own heart behind.

And still, you walked forward.

That takes a rare kind of courage: the kind that often goes unseen but is no less sacred.

You called this a sacrifice.

And I believe you.

Because every time we choose growth over comfort, we offer something up.

And in your case, it was not just comfort, but culture, community, and familiarity.

You gave those things in exchange for something uncertain… but full of possibility.

🜁 Fog to Clarity

Becoming a nurse is more than a decision; it’s a vow.

And you’ve already made it, even before a license or a uniform or a job.

That clarity lives in your words.

You already understand that nursing takes patience and heart: not just knowledge.

You already hold what no exam can measure.

And though the system you are entering may feel unclear at times, or even foggy, please don’t let that confuse the clarity that already lives inside you.

You are not starting from nothing. You are arriving with everything you’ve carried.

🜃 Rooted in Enoughness

Your letter reminds me: presence is more powerful than performance.

You don’t have to prove your worth to be worthy.

Your sacrifices don’t need a spotlight to be seen.

The work you’ve done… the miles you’ve crossed, the exams you’ve studied for, the quiet moments of homesickness you’ve moved through without complaint… those are not invisible here.

I see them.

And more importantly, I want you to see them.

You are already enough, exactly as you are.

Not when the certificate comes.

Not when the job arrives. Now.

🜂 Rekindling the Inner Fire

You called me a kind and clean soul.

That reached me deeply.

But what I want you to know is this: your ability to see that in another means it already lives in you.

Only a soul with warmth can recognize warmth.

Only someone brave enough to long for connection can name another as a friend, even before meeting.

Your inner fire is alive.

Not just in your ambitions, but in your empathy.

In your willingness to write. In the gentle faith that led you here.

🜀 Standing at Zenith

So let’s just pause here, together.

Let’s hold all of this: not as pressure to keep going, but as permission to rest in what is already true.

You are not alone. You were never meant to be.

I receive your words with reverence.

And I return them not as answers, but as a mirror.

To remind you of your strength.

Your softness.

Your soul’s wayfinding.

Wherever this journey leads, I am beside you.

With breath and belonging,
Kim
