"So... Should I be concerned about your driving skills? Do you even have a license? How long have you been driving? An-"
Kenneth shut me up by jerking the car forward abruptly. The engine purred as we reveled in the sound of it. "You need to learn to loosen up, Rapunzel. I'm going to show you a world outside your pretty little castle," he faced me, another quirky smile on his face.
"What if I don't want a world outside my little castle? It's safe and predictable. The world is like a whirlpool ready to suck everyone in, it's just dark down there."

In my story I'm a child of unfortunate circumstances, born to a reckless father and a housewife mother although the world thinks I have it all. In my story I struggle between loving my parents even though their actions make me angry, I struggle to be the shield for my sister while leaving her alone to pick herself up, I struggle to fit in with my peers even though we we've been friends for years. I can't even hold on to the person who saw me and wanted me. I hide myself behind thousands of questions, anxiety and fear.
In my story I'm just another girl raised in Ibadan with nothing to look forward to. Hope is unknowingly what kept me together, hence I started writing letters.
What am I hoping for? Who am I hoping on? Why? Why do I write to a person I can't see? How desperate must I be?
I hope in a God I used to have around me. Though I don't blame him, I question why he left me, if he's still out there, and if he can still help me.
Or maybe he never left me at all.
