Just Love

Hewwo! It's another beautiful day in the neighbourhood and I have a Physics exam to write tomorrow but currently no drive to study! Oh well, I'm not going into Sciences anyway so here's another blog post. Throughout my life, the theme of consistency has been an essential one. It applies to every facet of my life and has helped me grow into the person I am today.

It's difficult to live your life following the ups and downs, getting constantly carried by consecutive spiritual highs and spiritual lows. Falling into endless rock-bottoms and getting lifted up into the heavens above. Living in the extremes - whether it be sadness or joy, there is no shortage of the despair or euphoria felt throughout these experiences. Growing up, it became more obvious that I could not base my life on special events and bouts of disappointment. It became difficult to feel truly joyful, knowing that regret and despair were just lurking around the corner.

However, realizing the inevitable free-falls into nothingness and accepting them wholeheartedly brings about a different kind of growth. Something that isn't measured by things that others may see; such as our behaviour, mood and physical appearance. It's hidden under the surface, lodged in between our broken self and our true self, ultimately forming the person we are.

Throughout these past few years, I have struggled to accept my flaws, insecurities and burdens, choosing rather to ignore them and simply be content with the belief that they will always be there.
I am my mistakes. I am my sins. I am my brokenness.

But through it all, somehow and someway, I have still chosen to remain kind. Yes it's true, I've stumbled and fallen but yet I am still here. I've suffered pieces of my heart being broken but it has in no way diminished my willingness to give to others and sacrifice for them. It's been a long road and I am nowhere near where I want be; which to be honest, might not be such a bad thing after all.

The hills, mountains and obstacles I have had to overcome just to get here today have shaped the landscape of my life. One that is constantly changing and rearranging, forming new rivers consisting of my dreams flooding into a future full of hope.

I may not see where the road leads but that's the thrill in it all.

There is no true victory without discouraging defeats,

no shimmering rainbow without oceans of rain,

and no authentic hope without the presence of uncertainty.

Being consistent means hoping and loving regardless of one's own desires because the act of loving is already a gift in itself.

The sun has no obligation to shine on us yet it still does.
Stars in the sky have no reason to be our own personal escape from this world yet they still are.
He knew of all our flaws and sins and yet He still suffered and died for us.

Let's continue to sacrifice and grow through our actions because love is the best thing we do.
