Ask me Anything!

Hello beautiful people,

I deeply appreciate the love from my last letter; it’s been absolutely overwhelming and much more than that, it’s been humbling to see how much of an inspiration I am and how in some way, my life fuels hope for a lot of you. Thank you.

So this is not a long letter (trust me this time).

I seem to have gotten to a solid point on my health journey; finally got a diagnosis that made sense over the weekend. It’s a scary one, the type I learnt about in medical school or saw in medical TV dramas. 

What I most felt in the moment was relief, the calm that comes with knowing (y’all remember how I talked about always wanting to know stuff), I have since alternated between sadness and anger and pain and despair but now all I’m able to do is cry and I think I like it; it feels like my body is finally learning to release all the pain it has held in its members for years.

My symptoms are worsening and my body is taking a lot of hit but I’m good really and I am truly living - pain, joy, love - all of it. I am living!

I’m scheduled to send a letter on the 1st of June and I decided I wanted it to be a “get to know me” letter. Here’s what I need from you guys...

Kindly send me questions you’ll like me to answer; it could be about my story, my opinion on certain topics or just fun, random, silly things. 

I’m giving you the opportunity to know what you’ve always wanted to know so throw it at me. I’ll answer the first 20 questions I receive.

You can send it as a reply to this letter or as a reply to the email you receive or send to me on WhatsApp if you have my details or to my email (rutholuwatoni@gmail.com).

I look forward to hearing from you and yes I decided to bless you with my beauty today.

P.S: I’m having my friends (who have known me for a little long while) write about me and I’ll be sharing their “memoirs” of me throughout June. I am so excited to read what they have to write and share with you what they know of me as a result of our relationship so expect multiple letters next month (maybe one every week). I feel strongly that I am setting myself up but I am learning to live on the edge now and I just might be loving it.

Hearts 💕
