It’s such a strange feeling when you see someone that you use to know so well, but suddenly feel so unfamiliar with them. Today, i saw a video of a girl that use to go to my old school. Although her face didn’t really changed, everything else about her was so new. When she first began to speak, her voice was familiar but yet it was unexpected. Its strange because i literally grew up with her: preschool till 8th grade. It’s quite a long time. I guess it finally hit me that despite how long you were once with or around someone, it only takes a small separation to merely forget someone. Today we watched an interview in English, and O’Brien said ” Human life is erasing itself as you live.” It didn’t really mean much to me until now as i took a look at that friend i once knew. Perhaps, as one gets older, many things of the past are no longer relevant and people who were once so important to us are of the past.
i know it is said that it takes a minute to know someone but a lifetime to forget someone, but i suppose it doesn’t go for all things. What use it is to remember the face, but have no recollection of their personality?
“Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as elaborate hairstyles and the wearing of gold jewelry or fine clothes. Rather, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight.”
These past few days i’ve been feeling extra irritated about things around me. I couldn’t quite pull myself together and looking back, i don’t even know what was wrong. But i suppose subtle changes sometimes bothers me and when things are out of place, i feel uneasy. Now that things seemingly fall back into place, i resume into a comfortable feeling. I guess in a world that’s constantly changing, i need to step it up, and except differences here and there. But as of now, i would love if things just be normal. With all the stress, i guess i can’t take anymore change.
they always know what to say whenever i have a crappy day!
A recent goal of mine is to be able to turn anger, frustration, and fear into prayer. What i mean by that is, whenever i am to get angry or frustrated, i would turn these unwanted feelings into a cry of help from God. It’s hard and i definitely realize that. I have a tendency to say or do not glorifying things when i’m mad, but what good is that? Will doing something i later WILL regret make anything better? I am sure to say, it will NOT. So rather than wasting time on something stupid and reckless, why not spend that time in prayer.
Again this is extremely difficult. It calls for being slow to anger and to speak. But im sure “I can do all things through Christ who gives me (us) strength.”
