'Me bula ga ko Viti ka me toro ga ki liu'. 

5 days from today Fiji decides. It feels like doomsday with all the bickering, hate speeches nonsense; like the world is going to end and there's no more future. 

Just in case we'll all still be alive then, I am grateful for Viti. 

I am grateful for the land that has carried us through since our forefathers claimed heritage here. 

I am grateful for all that we have survived - tribal wars, Christianity, colonizers, indentured labourers, independence, politics, coups and natural disasters. 

Still standing, still functioning mixed blooded people. The diversity is admirable. Nothing like it. No one like us! 

If anything, at the end of elections, I hope we remember the victories we've celebrated, the relationships we've created and shared in them, the losses we've conquered, the impression we had on the royals; I hope we remember the oneness.

I hope we remember that we don't always have to be on different sides. 

I hope we remember that we've all needed chances.

I hope we remember that the only way forward is TOGETHER; that together we CAN and divided we fall/ fail. 

For all that we have endured and survived; for all the lives that have been lost in the cause of 'justice' for this nation and its remarkble set(s) of people, I hope we remember LOVE.
