THE AGONY OF WALKING DOWN THE VALLEY: EXCITING DREAMS TURNED INTO SHATTERED DREAMS.

I once was in a situation where I dreamed and waited for a particular dream, but my dream fell apart. I found myself walking down the valley instead of down the aisle, wearing a black dress in the valley instead of a white dress in the aisle. I once imagined myself walking down the aisle wearing my beautiful white dress and holding my favourite flower, the lily of the valley. It was a lovely dream, but it did not turn out how I wanted it to happen. It happened the other way around.

RELATIONSHIP MATTERS: THE EBBS AND FLOW OF FRIENDSHIP. LEARN TO LET GO AND WELCOME NEW PEOPLE IN YOUR LIFE.

As I start writing this part, my heart gets heavy. I remember the laughter that I once had with a friend. The laughter that we shared. Memories that were full of treasure. Stories that made us laugh and cry. Differences that we manage to rhyme. The ebbs and flows of our friendship were challenging, but despite the fluctuation of our friendship, it was a beautiful story to look back on. A friendship that I will never regret entering with.

JOYFUL AND BRAVER HEART: NEW WAVES OF LAUGHTER THAT BRING HEALING TO YOUR SOUL. 

Healing is a road full of uncertainty, but the good thing is You have a Father who is inevitable amid uncertainties. You can hold on to that. Take that challenge—face that pain. Deal with whatever you need to deal with. This is for your sanity. Do not be afraid. Remember, you are not alone. God is and will always be with you. Take that control out of your system and give it back to the author of control.

BEAUTIFUL: HOW I MET BROOKIE, THE BROKEN GOLDEN CHRISTMAS TREE.

BROOKIE
I see the beauty in your teary-eyed. I see the beauty in your pain. I see the beauty in your heart. I see the beauty in every part of you. The same thing happened with what you wanted to happen—which is bringing this beautiful golden tree with you. I also want that for you; I want you to be with me no matter how many cracks you’ve been through. I will always be with you, gluing every crack within you and loving every tiny part of you”.

GRATEFUL HEART: MY KIND OF “2023 THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES”

To my best friend, MD (he is the one in the video), I do not want to regret not posting these beautiful memories planted during that season. There might be a slide of change, but I cherish all the good things I have shared with you. The highs and lows are part of the growth I am thankful for. Indeed, we are brave enough to face a different side of the season this time. God has always been good to us. It might not be easy for both of us, but God is holding our hearts. Thank you, MD, for being part of this journey. Take care, always.

YOU HAVE A WARRIOR HEART: JESUS LOVES YOU, MY FRIEND

That night, I ran to my room. I ask God to give me an express word I can cling to and hold on to. I ask him desperately. I cried so hard and fell on the floor because it was just too painful to bear. There are no words to describe how I felt that night. As I was crying on the floor, I couldn't figure out what was the right word to say. I was frozen. My heart feels like it was stabbed by a sharp knife. I stood up crying (ugly crying). There were no words; I could only hear the sound of pain.
