    First Love,

    I need the point when i first loved,
    if i ever truly did.

    I need a touch,
    warmth, peace, presence.

    I cannot feel, i cannot sense, i am frustrated.

    Am i truly seeking?
    Am i truly truly a believer?
    Are my doubts getting in the way?
    Have i ever felt the love or His presence?

    I've felt peace.
    I don't know.

    I need faith so strong,
    i need hope so strong,
    that I could move mountains.

    Rising rhythm

    Because i need to feel my worth and know my worth, by myself x for myself.

    I need to know that i can make it.
    I need to know that it's not the looks that matter.
    I need to know that i am capable.
    I need to know that i will be treasured x cherished.
    I need to know that i'll get somewhere.
    I need to know that i'm worth more than just 'Valerie' .

    A name, a body.
    More than that.

    I want to make it.
    I need to.
    I have to.

    Goals for school:
    x wake up on time
    x go to school on time regardless however sleepyxtiredxlethargicxboredxmundanexdreadful

    x do not grow complacent
    x love myself
    x not compare my works to others and kick myself in the bum for having really bad drawing
    x not second guess how/why i got into Lasalle
    x trust God

    In love

    With cooking, potatoes, butter (since forever), Parmesan and pasta.

    And always, in love with God.
    -

    School's starting soon and thats really scary.
    I'm scared of all the commitments, workload, responsibilites and of course,
    the basics, attending school.

    The torture of waking up in the morning is ugh, torture.

    Plus, i'm not a 'new-people' type person, so when school starts,
    i know i can't wait till everyone's friends with everyone.
    Just need to get over the making friends phase.

    Oh, and the things we have to buy.
    It's so, money-draining.
    Expensive school fees, expensive materials.
    Not one of my best choicest but definitely one of the choices i'd make if i had to all over again.

    Sigh.
    But, bright side; i have Vickie and Meixu alongside with me.
    Thank God for friends in school.

    Going art material shopping with them tomorrow!
    Woopwoop that's $300 blown.

    Seriously, i musn't be so negative or rather, worried.
    Heh, ok.
    I can't wait for school :)

    I'll get myself some weird weird weird geeky silent WEIRD cranky cool boyfriend, not.
    9 days to orientation!

    Aches

    The realization hit me rather slow, but.
    Everywhere i go, i'm faced with brokenness.

    Not mine, but others.
    Illnesses, stress, breakups, inferiority, broken hearts, pain.

    And to make things horribly bad, it's happening to my close friends.
    I'm feeling helpless, because no matter how much i say, it won't take everything away.
    No matter how much i can do, the problem would still stand.
    My heart aches so badly.

    Sometimes, it's they themselves that choose to be stuck in the situation emotionally.
    Not because they want to, but because they simply aren't strong enough to escape the pull.

    And it's times like these makes me angry at them. Because they are not strong enough.
    But honestly, are they to blame?
    Perhaps partially, for simply not looking at the positives.
    However, strength varies and i have to understand that.
    Situations vary and i too have to remember that.

    But going right down to the core, it's not them.
    It can't be.
    Why would a group of friends, who support each other, and back each other up,
    fall so badly, in individual ways, at the same time?
    It cannot simply be pure coincidence. Is there even coincidence in such matters?

    Sometimes, as much as i wouldn't like to admit this. The devil's really smart.
    However, God's smarter so, He'll outsmart the nincompoop anytime .

    But a group of friends, if they all are shaken, and cannot support each other.
    They'll all just crumble. Well, but they crumble together... Oh, the irony.

    I won't say i'm the strongest. I won't say i'm the remaining pillar left.
    But i know, that i haven't been brought down, and i cannot let this 'issue' bring me down.
    For if i'm not standing where will they lean on?

    So my friendsies if you are reading this, please know that i have nothing to offer,
    no advices to give.
    But you'll always have my shoulder, my ears, my time, my effort and my love.

    Eyes fixed on God

    Truth be told, i'm always afraid of the plans God has for me.
    Truth be told, i'm scared i won't listen due to fear.

    Truth be told, no matter what though, i know i am willing to obey His word and will.

    Ok God wait for me, i'll be reaching specifics soon.
    :)

    I just really really, simply, love God.
    Hee.

    Healing

    I am really tired.
    I am really solemn.

    I don't know where to go from here,
    i don't know what to do from now.

    Except to follow God, praise God, live for God, love God, lean on God, know God.
    I'm really pretty much lost asides from the above sentence.

    I just know that i'm going to put 100% trust in a few friends, and from me 100 is almost impossible.
    I just pray i won't get hurt.

    But when all else fails, God doesn't.

    I'm going to sleep on my bench, prop my legs up on my window, enjoy the breeze and listen to quiet, quiet music.

    It's time for my break.
    Healing, heart being stable, setting my eyes solely on God.
    I've made my decision and i really want to give God all my time.
    I'm only young once. Only once.

    Good morning mellow blue skies.

    Thank You God for the cool subtle breeze.
    Gentle.

    Thank You God for the beautiful clouds.
    Amazing.

    Thank You God for any single ounce of ability I have to play the guitar.
    Teehee.

    Thank You God for everything.

    I know i fail to put You first in everything.
    I know i fail to put You at the center of everything i do.
    I know that i want to.
    I know that i'm going to try to.

    So for every mini thing I want to learn to thank You.


    Lord i also pray that You help me.
    Let everything not be for motive, for praise, for acknowledgement,
    but let everything be humble, pure, true, for You only.

    Amen.

    Heart

    I know mine's not the first heart broken.
    I know i'm not the first to cry.

    There's this sudden plethora of emotions overwhelming me.
    Inferiority, insecurity, vulnerability, fear, disappointment.
    Basically everything scary and negative, except anger.

    I know i'm not supposed to be feeling this way.
    But i'm just suddenly bombarded with feelings that i want to express.
    I want to cry, i want to scream, i want to rant nonsensically and nonstop,
    with someone holding my hand or cuddling me, understanding every gibberish that escapes my mouth.
    I want to bite someone's arm till it leaves a mini mark that goes away in 10 minutes, and instead of pushing me aside, that someone offers me the other arm.
    I want to lie on the field and simply stare at the night sky, without anyone looking at me or giving me weird faces.

    I want something inexplicable, warm, soothing, calming, safe.

    I'm not lovesick, i'm not heartbroken, i'm not rejected.
    I just don't feel good enough.
    I don't feel worthy.
    For anyone.

    Only person that i know would except me no matter what is God,
    see me as beautiful is God,
    forgive every mistake i make is God,
    see every flaw as a quality is God.

    But daily i'm beaten down by myself, the world, expectations.

    I need someone to call my name repeatedly, soothing me.
    That someone would be me.

    God to You the highest honour

    My God, is my shelter and refuge.
    My God, makes me cry like a little girl though.. I am one.
    My God, simply by His presence makes me fall to my knees in worship.
    My God, leaves me speechless time after time.
    My God, fills me up.

    None of me, all of God.

    WHO IS NTWW! :D

    Friday, June 4, 2010

    Within reach,

    I know i'm not good enough but would you be okay with whatever I had?


    Would you still love me knowing that all i could offer is my love?
    Would you still care for me, die for me, knowing that i got nothing more to give in return.
    -

    Life sux.
    Guitar sux.
    Getting nowhere.
    Need You now.

    Need sleep now.



    I'm going to be okay,
    like always.
    I'm going to be okay.

    In the mood

    Screw this Im done here.

    Liars.
    What's the purpose.
    To trust only to be lied to.
    To love only to be betrayed.
    To give only to be taken advantage of.

    Sick and tired.
    Im going to withdraw.

    Le Sigh ~

    Bloggggging from my ultimately gorgeous white phone, yay me.

    Times have been rough, and I'm still sailing through.
    Thank God for that.

    Of skipped heartbeats and fluttering emotions,
    heed not your heart.
    Upon false feelings is not where warmth is,
    instead is everything other.

    Tired. Have been crafting alot so that's good. Crocheting like no tomorrow.
    Going to do a mini felt bunting, with glorious pastel colours, to brighten up my room!
    Cannot wait to see it up.

    And I'm in the process of doing up a totebag.
    Actually, around 3 of them. Excited!
    I've been rotting but I sound productive, huh?
    Wrong, everything I've crafted started yesterday.

    Yay me. I thank God I'm a fast learner.
    But Jack of all trades and master of none... not too cool.

    Self

    Angry with self.
    Lying to self.

    Disappointed with self.
    Thought of self's emotions wrongly.

    It's warped but i took my emotions the wrong way.
    I can't even pinpoint what i'm truly feeling,
    then honestly.

    Who can?
    Pathetic.
