Dear Korra,
Do you remember the Republic City Central Park? I remember our walks with Mako and Bolin throughout the park. Also our days hiding from equalists with the help of the homeless folk of the city.
That park was always so run down and beat. It has and always had the potential to be so much more. I know you felt the same. We talked about it multiple times.
Well... I did a thing.
"The thing" as Varrick would call it. (and trust me he has, multiple times.).
I've written Bolin letters to keep in contact while they're away and occasionally Varrick will send me a letter along with him. Sometimes I swear I can hear that mans voice through the ink.
Anyways, I made a statue. In the middle of the park. It stands as a symbol of bravery, strength, loyalty, and much more. It's a statue of you. And just like you it helps to remind everyone who sees it that we can be just as brave as you if we really try. Unlike you, the stone sculpture is extremely tall.
You don't know how much I've missed that.
I miss you. I miss our talks and our jokes, I call you short then you make fun of my undeniable perfectionism. I miss making fun of Mako together, trust me it's not as fun alone, I've tried. He's a great guy really but sometimes he's so stiff. It's because of how he was raised and I try to remind myself of that but sometimes it still irks me.
I'm pretty sure he misses you alot, I don't know how often he writes anymore. Trust me he misses you more than he'd care too admit and I honestly can't blame him
I simply cannot wait to show you around the park. Which leads me to the next point. "Republic City Central Park" is no more. I purchased the park, and renamed it. Is that crazy? Is building a statue and renaming the park in your honor creepy? I really hope you don't see it that way.
I just want you to know your loved and appreciated. Even when it feels like the world hates you or doesn't need you anymore as you've told me. (that's not true!). No matter what, I love you, I appreciate you, and I need you. More than anything. One day I hope you'll see that and it will be enough to convince you that you're worth everything and more.
"Avatar Korra Park"
A place in your honor. You deserve it, you deserve everything and more. I know it's not much but I'm working really hard to make it yours. Hopefully it will be a place where people can join together and have fun in peace. I know that's something you'd like, and when you come back we can do even more to make it a unique place in Republic City.
Even the Airbenders are helping! Opal, Kai, Jinora, and all the others are picking up all the debris and litter as well as planting trees and flowers all around. Turtle duck and other wildlife have finally started to return to the area. We're all really excited to show you the place. Well maybe not everyone...
You should have seen the look on Raiko's face. He was furious! Apparently he had something 'better' planned for that plot of land. But it's not his decision anymore, I would have paid good money to get you here to see the look on his face. Beifong had to escort him out of the building through his little tantrum.
I've got to admit it was kind of pathetic. It just goes to serve that although some people have the drive and willpower to drastically change and adapt to their environment. Others never will, that's what makes you special. It seperates you from all the other people in this world wether they are considered good or bad people.
I'm not really sure what else to write you. I just thought you should know how much you mean to the world. How much you mean to me. I really miss you Korra. I hope your doing okay, you haven't written in awhile. I'm trying to give you your space, healing is likely hard for you and you need time. Just know i'm here for you. For anything and everything you might need.
Girl talk and all. Always.
Love, Asami.
