Hello, Dreamer — A Letter

by Mati Carmel Villanueva | Culture through the Waters

Hello, Dreamer.

A letter for the dreamer character who grew up in Muddas. This is an admiration for all the boundless things he did behind every crashing wave.

First-year BA in Literature student, Mati Carmel Villanueva writes a letter to the narrator in the personal essay, Growing Up in Muddas, who is none other than the writer, himself, Mr. Anthony L. Tan.

The sea defined you. It completed your youth and you would always satisfy the dreamer inside you. The sea was now a part of you. The sea was you.
