To: Ah C.

I think that these few days have been equally heavy, for you and me. You, due to the concert, and the ways it has awakened you. Me, due to various reasons, too abstract for even myself to understand.

Reading this blog post has left me feeling calm. Sure, a few tears streaked down, and I hurriedly went to read other fans' comments to know the situation of this matter. I pondered about the absence of you in the music scene.
But I don't think I was that surprised to read the last portion.

Frankly, anyone who has bothered to know you, whether or not as the position of a friend or a gootoe, has learnt how alien you can be. Your thoughts, views, opinions, feelings and choices - they vary indeed, from the norm, if there is a norm in the first place. That is the sole reason why we support you. We want to, we feel the need to, and it's an unquestionable fact that we like the way you live.

Previous times, whenever you seemed distressed over problems which have to be faced in the course of your work, I wondered if you are really suited for the entertainment circle. There appears to be a barrier around, trying to prevent you from fulfilling more, which I know you would want for yourself. For that reason alone, I won't wish for any gootoe to hold you back.

Yet, at the same time, who's to doubt what you have already done? Especially from three years ago, since I knew about you only slightly before then. I think with your status as a public figure, you have influenced us immensely. It's not just your music, the meaning behind it, the values you've imparted towards us, but rather, the hope we've attained from watching you throughout the years.

Just a week ago, I had to choose an essay question, one out of twelve. I spotted the following, and without any hesitation, chose it to write about my genuine feelings: "There are no heroes left in the world, only celebrities. Do you agree?"
What do you think I wrote about? I think you can guess it.

Anyone can be a hero.
And who's to say celebrities can't be heroes? You are one of mine, always will be.

I know you haven't lost hope and are therefore thinking of seeking other options. Rather, you're on the way to make fuller use of it. We'll support you, in whatever you've to do.

Make a decision you won't regret. ;)

Bien vivre,
leaf

P.S. All the best for the musical. :)
