Letter from girl X

hello reader. I do not know if i have any faithful readers. If i do.
thank you.
it gives me pleasure to know that you enjoy reading about my life.

Thought de jour : What is Friendship?
some say, that friendship ends when borrowing begins. These are trying times.
We should be giving what we can. to help each other survive. all we have right now in life, is what we believe.
What do I believe?
I believe that life is meant to live. Not to hate our to Kill. we are creatures of love. We should love enough to understand that each person is under stress. Financial, Medical, emotional. Each person is undergoing more and more as each day comes to an end. Work, School, family, friends, errands, Housekeeping.. things are spinning out of control for everyone. Soon, there will be people with no food. To proud to Set upon the government for funds. What will we do then? Ignore t hem? allow them to go hungry? I beg you dear reader, to think of The Holocaust. When Dutch and German people alike slid what they could under the fences of concentration camps. They would be punished by death for feeding a Jew. They were on rations! Nothing more then Cabbage, turnips and Occasionally potatoes. Whats stopping you? Are you threatened by death so much that you alone cannot spare a box of Macaroni, when you have several boxes and cannot find a need to cook them? Wake up reader. WAKE UP.

A Taste of Generosity: She is now 15. She no longer cries. She no longer feels. Shes run away from home with a boy, a boy she Said she wanted forever. the stay n a hostel, its dirty and frightening there. They think shes 19. She hasn't eaten in a long time. they Come across a red head, Tall and freckled. they ask for a cigarette. She gives her a handful. and hand him one. Her name Is B. B, so full of life, reminds her of a happy time. She smiles. and laughs. They enter a building and wait for hot lunch. B builds a plate, large and full of fruit. She Pours a glass of juice, and sips. B asks when she last ate. She shrugs. He answers its been weeks. B gets her fruit." eat" she commands. " we will not leave until you eat". A teenager. Black and Big with baby sits with them. Her name is K, She recognizes her from the bed below hers. B explains to K that she hasn't eat. K pulls from her pocket a small carton of milk. homogenized. K pours the almost to white liquid into a cup and pushes it towards Her. K tells her to drink, there is more and not to worry. K and B watch and she drinks the milk slowly, It floods down her throat so creamy she gags, K asks how long since shes eaten. B answers a long time. K strokes her hair and says to her. "She must to be strong. The world is harsh and full of harsh people. People who do not help us. remember this moment. and remember, that we care. be strong for My child". They bring her more food. She looks. before she eats she prays.
she prays for the baby, to come into a world of laughter, like that day around the table. 4 strangers bound together by a common goal.
the will to survive.
