Dear
Friend,
At difficult ( دشوار ) times in my life, I surround
( خودم را احاطه کنم ) myself with art ( هنر ). During the winter I make paintings ( نقاشی ) almost every day. And, summer and winter, the plants ( گیاهان ) in my house need my
care ( مراقبت کردن ). I
write stories and personal essays ( مقالات شخصی ). I read things that inspire ( الهام می بخشد ) me. Using
creativity ( خلاقیت ), which we all have, keeps me strong and calm
( قوی و آرام ).
Not seeing friends is so hard. Not being able
to hug ( در آغوش گرفتن ) family who are separated from us ( از ما جدا شد ) is the worst ( بدترین ). Sometimes it makes you cry ( گریه کردن ), not for yourself, but
because of all the suffering ( رنج کشیدن ). And then one day you hear an inner voice ( صدای درونی ) say, What are you going to do to help someone else?
Listening ( گوش دادن ) to this voice has always helped me! So I reach out to someone else whenever I feel like I’m getting
down (getting sad). There are lots of ways you can do that. You can write an email to a
friend. You can draw a picture for a family member or write a story for your little
brother or sister.
Just stay strong! ( ! قوی باش ) You are needed in
our world. And remember to always live in H.O.P.E. (Help Other People Everyday)
Your friend,
Jan
P.S. I couldn't end my letter without sharing one of my paintings with you.
