“ဘာဖြစ်လာမလဲ” ဆိုတဲ့ မနက်ဖြန်များစွာနဲ့ ပြည့်နေတာကြောင့် “ပြန်ဆုံမယ်”လို့ ကျနော်မပြောတော့ပါဘူး။

Farewell to all Maungdaw friends. Seek your solace in Dhāma. Since tomorrow (s) are filled with uncertainties, I can’t say our paths will cross again.
Today, I close Chapter 3.
Since shit hit the fan, the years 2020 and 2021, now regarded by the citizen of Bruma as a moment of monumental transformation in Burma’s history, I’ve been keeping a record of my life as I live through it. The first two chapters were about happiness and sadness. This one, however, was different as it was filled with a sense of continuous excitement and never left me a dull moment to relax.
Have no doubt that despite all the challenges I faced and hardships I went through, 2022 is the year I will always look back on with no remorse and no regrets for it has taught me a valuable life lessons that nothing in this life can be taken for granted. Through the journey of this, I made many new friends and I also lost many along the way. It was also challenging for me to navigate through such changes in relationships. It was divine chaos. I failed to embrace it, forgive myself, and breathe.
Life is funny and takes unexpected twists and turns. If one had prophesied that I would travel to a faraway borderland, and join a non-profit organisation to help in whatever cause is currently active, I’d have dismissed it as a good joke. Not that I have never been motivated by humanitarian work. But as fate had it, I bore with no malice. Now I can see in my lucid moment that this was meant to be.
My old folks, I'm sorry that I cut you guys out of my life, pushed you all away when you extended your helping hands, kept you in the dark and fed you with limited information over the past few months. And for that, I owe you guys an apology.
Now, to those I’ve befriended here in Maungdaw, as I bid farewell to you all today I’d like to extend my heartfelt appreciation to each of you who crossed paths with me during my time here. You all watered me, fed me, supported me, cared for me, and treated me as one of your own, showered me with your knowledge and insights, and uplifted my heart when it sank to the bottom of the deepest ocean, and for all that, I'm immensely grateful. I apologise for any immaturity and eccentricity, as well as for the secrets that I concealed behind my enigmatic smiles.
As we part now, I beg for your kind understanding as the circumstances beyond our control make it uncertain whether we shall meet again. Sadly, I had many in my circle who made such promises in the past but only departed without fulfilling them. With that in consideration, I plead and trust that you will understand my reluctance to make such a pledge easily.
Farewell, my friends.
I don't know what the next chapter would be about... my nerves are real, but the excitement is outweighing them.
May the force be with us all. 🖖
