SUBJ: I'm here, now.
Salaam, Daddy,
I’m reallllyyyyy sorry that I didn’t message you sooner. It’s been really busy for me and I’ve not had time.
I know you hate that excuse. Mum used it too. But I promise it’s the truth.
I don’t even know where to begin, daddy. Nothing can prepare you for this. I thought I was ready for it, but… now I’m here, I think I’ve forgotten everything.
I know you’d say pray, but… I don’t know how. Well, I know how, but… I just don’t find the sukoon in my heart as you say you find. I just find myself getting frustrated and angry. And before you say, no… the prophets haven’t been much help either. My pagh is still as confused as ever.
I envy you, you know. How you can always centre yourself despite everything. I wish my faith was as strong as yours.
Don’t worry though. You know I’ll always find my way.
Good news is that at least I’m closer to Betazed now! I’ll be able to visit more often. Or maybe you can come and stay? The ship is… well, pretty big. But… don’t even get me started, just thinking about it makes my head spin. And that’s before I even get into trying to acclimatise to the new surroundings.
Anyway, I’ll talk to you properly soon. I just wanted to get this letter off before you started to worry.
I love you.
