To you,

My Dreams, My Passion, and My Life...


Forgiveness, I’m still in the learning process of this subject these days. Seriously it proves to be a thousand times harder than all the medical books added together. Expected. It is actually always the same thing over and over again, but funny enough, it only gets harder and harder each time I had to face it.
I forgave, for all the times you apologize.
I forgave, for all the times you made me cry.
I forgave, for all the hurting.
I forgave, for all the waiting.
I forgave, for almost everything.
Yes, I do have a big heart. Never really bitched about anyone, anything, never really breathed much of a complain. So is it that this heart of mine is to be broken without fear or guilt? I don't understand.
I can't seems to understand anything now. Not even you, not even myself. I think I know this feeling. It felt like back then. Back to when I once penned down a post, two years ago. And true enough, when I reread it, it actually made sense. It actually made impact. And I am afraid.
It’s farce, I know. The realness I’m faking is making me disgusted of myself.
The book illustrates Joshua’s struggle between forgiving and leaving. Yes, it is never easy to forgive. Especially when it concerns someone that you love, someone whom you care about so much, whose even a single word or a single glance would you hold ever so dearly in your palms. Sometimes, things are always easier said than done. Which is why many a time, when truths are revealed, relationships shatter.
But God is ever-forgiving.
It was said in the book:
1. Because of the Cross, you can absolutely sure of God's love for you and His complete forgiveness of your past sin.
2. Because of the Cross, you can confess your past sin to your loved one, even when you have to risk losing him/her forever.
3. Because of the Cross, you can forgive the past sin of another person.
There is no sin that is beyond the scope of God’s forgiveness, as long as you truly repent. Yes, God is THAT forgiving. Praise the Lord!
So I guess the point is, (just in my way of thinking) when you reflect on it, God forgives, and you too, gotta learn to forgive. For by forgiving those who sins against you, you are following God’s footsteps. But the process might take long. This is when prayers are really essential. When you are weak but still gotta struggle, with feelings to juggle, prayers do help a lot. You can open up to Lord, all your hurt and distress, all your struggles and pain, and He always understands.
And so I will.
***********
It's hard to forgive sometimes, dear Father.
It's hard to move on, dear Father.
There will still be scars even if it's mended, Father.
There will still be thorns in my heart, Father.
There'll be times it still hurts, and tears might still fall, Father.
I am still just human, there are loads I might not be able to bear, Father.
Help me, Father. Help me through, I pray.
Hear me, Father. Hold me strong.
Amen.
************
Guess I need time to re-evaluate.
Lord, shine your light on me, shine it so I can see which way to take. Either way, I'll lay my fate fully on your hands, dear Lord. For you are the almighty God who loves us so, & my only hope you are.

How many times can I break till I shatter?
Everyone around me was asking me to chill. Be phlegmatic, they say. But surprisingly, I couldn’t.
It shocked me as well. I never, never used to lose my calm. Maybe this time was different. I didn’t know it meant so much to me.
I never knew.
It hurts. It friggin’ hurts. It stings like someone giving you a cold slap right on your face. And I so hope it could be a real slap instead. Even that might be better. At least the physical pain won’t last as long.
I never thought you would ever hurt me.
So I left. I don’t want to stay another minute, I can’t bring myself to say another word, can’t even bear to have one more look.
I was afraid.
I’m shattered. But still, the tears won’t fall.
I really should have listened to my friends.
This is the literal English translation of the poem...
Gloomy Sunday with a hundred white flowers
I was waiting for you my dearest with a prayer
A Sunday morning, chasing after my dreams
The carriage of my sorrow returned to me without you
It is since then that my Sundays have been forever sad
Tears my only drink, the sorrow my bread...
Gloomy Sunday
This last Sunday, my darling please come to me
There'll be a priest, a coffin, a catafalque and a winding-sheet
There'll be flowers for you, flowers and a coffin
Under the blossoming trees it will be my last journey
My eyes will be open, so that I could see you for a last time
Don't be afraid of my eyes, I'm blessing you even in my death...
The last Sunday
**************
