Angles & Errors

Sometimes we are too into the moment to look at the big picture. We fail to see things in perspective because we’re too absorbed in what’s taking place at that very instant. The thing is we should face reality. Find ourselves from being lost in the moment and think about everything the way that it is. Because sometimes being realistic can save us from pain and disappointment.

Cruelty can be spilled out like paint on a beautiful piece of art, ruining and damaging a work of priceless value.

When we have been hurt, it can cause our hearts to become ugly and retaliate in ways that are harmful to others. It is in the mess of life’s pain that we must have the grace of Christ, never allowing the cruelty of another to infect the love that Jesus has planted in us. May we look to him when words have to spoken over us, may we remember that love won long before hate had a chance.

No matter what is said to us, we have been told through word and deed that we are loved beyond what we will ever truly understand. In this truth, we bloom and show the world that hate can never ruin the masterpiece that God has designed within us.

Do i call it a need, or do i not?

No one speaks of how lonely adulthood gets.

There's the nights so silent,

That you could hear your heart match the beat of the ticking clock.

And crowds so deafening in the day,

That your sighs are lost in the loud murmurs of busy and seemingly entangled lives.

You watch the screens change colour,

A young couple kisses for the first time,

And an old one holds each other's hands for the last,

Each making a deep dull ache in your chest,

You can't name it yet,

What that feeling is,

But you can't avoid it too, not all the time.

Maybe we go through this phase,

Maybe it's not even a phase for some,

But whatever this is,

This hushed up secret, of hiding your sadness,

Underneath a heap load of barely-there smiles,

I feel it's universal.

We all live it, one's better at concealing,

Than the other behind.

But what a shame, to hide such a human thing,

As loneliness, as desperation and wanting and needing of love.

advice

If I could offer you any words of advice, it’s this: if it feels wrong, it probably is and if it feels right, it probably is. You know what you get yourself into most of the time. If the person you’re with, whether they’re a friend or a s/o, makes you question yourself or your relationship, there’s a reason. I spent so much of my time on people who did not love me, who used me and and manipulated me until there was nothing left inside. I’ve begged the gods to have that time back, but they can’t. I willingly gave it.

Alternatively, if someone is on your mind constantly, even if it’s years later, there’s a reason. Here is your sign if you’re looking for one. Talk to them. Tell them how you feel even if it’s scary. Even if the circumstances are crazy, even if you think they hate you, do it. They probably miss you. They probably love you.

I may not be able to get the time I lost back, but the future is bright. I’m not afraid to love again. I hope you aren’t either.

My therapist told me similar thing.... So true!

Any partner we choose will hurt us at one time or another. No relationship, even the most ideal, has unwaveringly smooth sailing … There will always be differences between lovers.

“It doesn’t matter what everyone else is doing. It doesn’t matter what everyone else has accomplished. What really matters is that you focus on yourself and how hard you are chasing after such dreams. Don’t compare yourself. Don’t belittle yourself. See yourself as who you are and keep your mind in your own head.”

“Be mindful of how you handle your energy. Similar to money, it can either be spent, or it can be saved. It can be given, or it can be collected. This energy is a precious gift, truly. So be cautious, and handle yours wisely.”
