Why love if losing hurts so much?

We love to know that we are not alone.
♥ There isn't a warranty period for memories, so I got smart and made myself a warranty card.

I can do all things through Him who gives me strength.  
Philippians 4:13

Saturday, January 12, 2013

How many of you remember this?  "And then I'd Smile"
When I told him he's one in a million, I meant to say he's special, he's different from all the other people I know.  When he jokingly got mad at only being one in a million and told me I'm one in 6.7 billion, I thought he meant I was one and only.  It was one of the sweetest things anyone ever told me, and I genuinely believed I could be his one in 6.7 billion.

Now, 0.4 billion people later, I find out it only meant that he was probably feeling poetic that morning.

If you have been following my posts, you'd know there's this friend-crush guy I've been crazy about for years.  Recently, we talked things out a bit and it turns out that he wasn't having mutual feelings for me.  I didn't have a good time accepting the fact at first, 'cause I seriously thought we'd have a chance together.  I couldn't be sure there'll be another guy I'd like as much as I liked him.  I don't think another guy will understand me the way I think he does, accept my broken self the way he does, and build me up when I was torn like he built me up from scratch.  I don't think I could love another person as innocently and unselfishly as I loved him.  No adult relationship can have such pure love as compared to a childhood crush that grew and developed over a period of about ten years, could it?  But now I'm starting to let this sink in.  How lucky am I to have friendship that's so golden?  A friend that has been there and will be there throughout the happy and sad times, isn't that lucky enough?  How could I even complain when there's absolutely everything to be grateful of?


The little girl couldn't stop crying.
"My teddy's lost at the railway station,
it didn't come home with me,
how will I sleep tonight?
The monsters will come and bite!"

Hush, my girl,
if you'll just lift your head, 
you'll see Papa painted angels in the clouds
above you up in the sky,
they'll take care of you."

Papa patted her to sleep 
and planted a kiss on her forehead,
no one can hurt her now.

I'm like the girl who lost her only favourite teddy, feeling scared and lonely.  But my Father in heaven knows what He's doing, He sends his angels to be with me, till one day, He'll give me a new teddy that'll I've love even more. Or maybe it could be a new book, or race car? I have no idea, but I'm sure it'll be the best.  I don't understand why some things happen sometimes, but I am learning to trust Him fully.

p.s.  
Dear Readers, I'll make it a point to update and post more often now.
Thank you for still visiting all this time when I was inactive on Blogger.  :')

I tend to think a lot, too much sometimes.  Recently, I've noticed more and more often that this really isn't a good sign at all.  Especially in times like this, when a decision is supposed to be made, I struggle.  I do not know how to pick and I'm too afraid to pick.  So I stand still, I refuse to move.
And then, when the crowd moves on, I'm left behind instead.

I think there are people out there, in the same situation, trying to make a choice.  Probably choosing a movie, deciding whether or not to buy a new dress, a new car, not sure whether or not to get a pet.  Or perhaps, like me, wondering what to do after getting my high school results.
I wish there are people out there in the same situation, trying to make a choice, people who would understand my confusion.
And yet, at the same time, I wish no one else had to be in this state of confusion.

.....

Dear Self,
Look at these daily messages you've been collecting, aren't these a gentle reminder for you, that God loves you, no matter what?
Don't you believe He has the best in store for you, if only you are willing to take that first step?
Don't you trust that even if you do fail, He'll be there to catch your fall?
Have some faith, it's very important.

.....

On this day, God wants you to know that when you focus on problems, you will have more problems. When you focus on possibilities, you will have more opportunities.

On this day, God wants you to know that you learn what you do. If you worry a lot, then day after day you are learning how to worry even better. If you think about doing something a lot, then you are learning how to think about doing. Every moment you are happy, you are learning how to be even happier. Every time you act, you are learning how to take an action even better. What is it that you've been learning today? What is it that you want to learn tomorrow?

On this day, God wants you to know that humans learn only by trial and error, and that includes you. You've got to live life, not think about it. Step into the midst of things, try and fail and learn and stand up again. The question is not whether you will or will not make mistakes - you will. The question is do you want to learn and grow, or do you want to shrink back and be stuck? Take that step you've been avoiding. You can succeed, or you can get feedback that it didn't work, but in either case you are sure to feel alive.

On this day, God wants you to know that you are to trust yourself. If you do not, then you will forever be looking to others to prove your own merit to you, and you will never be satisfied. You will always be asking others what to do and at the same time resenting their help. Trust in yourself starts with being ok with the consequences of your decisions.

我习惯把烦恼锁在眉间,一个解不开的结。
抬头却看见繁星点点,还有一个微笑挂在天边。

感谢主,提醒我袮的爱。

On this day, God wants you to know that you need to stop comparing yourself to other people. 
Some people are great singers, some are really smart and others are great athletes. 
But none of them are, or ever could be you. 
You are one of a kind.
So stop comparing yourself to other people. 
You can't be them any more than they can be you.


This is a message just when I needed it.
I thank my lucky stars, and Him.  :)

Kays, so I know I haven't been posting in English for more than a month...
And my posts are sorta getting less and less...
Is that why almost no one comments anymore?

People, here's a message from a Facebook app. I think I need to share.  :)

"On this day of your life, God wants you to know that love is the opposite of logic. 
Logic is argumentative, aggressive upon the mind,
It splits the world into right and wrong, us and them. 
Love is generative, compassionate, embracing all creation. 
Logic pays attention to what is being said. 
Love pays attention to how things are said. 
Logic leads to debate. 
Love leads to communion. 
Practice love to be closer to God."

上帝爱我。
我身边每一个
疼爱我, 伤害我, 
鼓励我, 打击我, 
相信我, 欺骗我,
陪伴我, 离开我的人
都是神爱我的方式。

我感恩。

On this day, God wants you to know
that most important decisions are not to be made with the mind;
they are to be made with the heart.

So when you have an important decision to make,
check in with how you feel, not how you think.
Think with your heart, peeps.
Listen carefully to the song it sings.  :)

Dear Lord,

Thank you for giving me a friend who cares.
I am blessed to have her point out my weaknesses, my imperfection.
I must confess I wasn't really glad to hear comments about my not-so-good side at first.
But thank you Lord, for giving me a friend who bothers to tell me the truth.

I will try to change, but I am not sure if I can do it alone.
Be with me, guide me, Lord.
Surround me with friends like her so I can change, so I can change for the better.

I am trying to be a better person.

Give me faith,
And thank you for loving me.

I love you too,
Amen. :)

On this day, God wants you to know that difficult people are very important, they teach you tolerance and acceptance.
If all was going your way all the time, you would become a spoiled child, wouldn't everyone?
Difficult people are just one of the ways God teaches us to expand beyond our egos and accept other perspectives on life.

As little children we'd dream of Christmas morn
And all the gifts and toys we knew we’d find
But we never realized a baby born one blessed night
Gave us the greatest gift of our lives


Dear God,

I thank you for the past whole year. I thank you for all the new friends you've put in my life, they've taught me so much. I thank you for Ah-Ma and Ah-Kong, they're the best-est grandparents I can ever have. I thank you for all the good things, and I thank you for all the not so good things, I know they're all part of your plan.

Father, I pray that you continue to bless all those around me in the coming new year. I pray you keep Ah-Ma and Ah-Kong healthy and happy. I pray you bring my dad to know you and love you in the new year, I pray you help bring him closer to you.

And I pray for me too, Lord, I pray you'll guide me and use me. I confess the zillions of things I've done that are not pleasing to you, and I pray you'll forgive me.

Thank you for loving me, I love you too, Lord.

Amen. :]

p.s. Click on the song title to hear the song, I really like the song. Merry Christmas, all, God bless.

I don't understand why simple Facebook messages just touch me everyday.
Had to share this one.

On this day, God wants you to know that God is crazy about you. God sends you fresh flowers every spring, a breathtaking sunrise every morning. If God had a wallet, your picture would be in it. If God has a refrigerator, your childhood scribbles would be on it.

This message on Facebook touched me today.
I just had to share. :)

"On this day, God wants you to know that when you feel down, look at yourself through God's eyes.

There are times when no matter how hard you try, you just cannot accept yourself as you are.
During such times, think of how you look to God's eyes.
In God's eyes, there is no judgment, there is only acceptance.
God sees your light when all that you can see are your shadows.

God loves you more than anyone could ever love you as you really are."
