Life is what you thought it to be. How true…yet, it’s always
easier said than done.
Let me ask you a question. What do you see when you stand in
front of the mirror? Yes, physically you may look pretty, happy and all well. But
try looking beyond all that. Look at your eyes. See what they tell you. People always
say that the eye is the window to one’s soul. So how’s your soul doing today?
When I look at myself, I try not to, but as hard as I could,
I still couldn’t suppress the disappointment, the defeat I feel for myself. To
be honest, my life now is not what I have imagined. And I’m pretty sure that it’s
not exactly what most people close to me would have thought it to be. Does that
mean that I’m regretting all those decisions I’ve made? The bible says that our
life is planned by God, even before we existed. I do believe that but
sometimes, I wonder what willGod do when we go against His will. Like if He planned
A for us but we chose B instead, will He construct another plan? A plan C? Or
will He just leave us since we’re so stubborn to follow His will?
Time cannot be rewind. So does that mean that once the damage
is done it cannot be fully rectified? Opportunities missed cannot reoccur?
Being an adult sure sucks sometimes. I’m afraid to grow old
cos I have too many insecurities and all those things I think I am now seem so
strange to me. As if I’ve lost my identity.
More often than not, I blame God for making my life this
way. It’s stupid I know. Isn’t it He’s the one who plans my life? So why make
me be like this? It’s hard and tiring to trust and obey especially since I dunno
what to expect. Faith is believing in the things unseen and have confidence in
it. I believe Jesus but do I really, truly, deeply have faith in Him? I suppose
not or else I wouldn’t be writing all these crap.
Please bear with me and let the emoness of me be for a while.
I may deny these feelings and thoughts and brush them aside pretending that I didn’t
see them but deep down I know that sooner or later I would still have to face
them. I do not want to be living in denial and pretend that everything’s going
just great for me cos my life would then be a lie and it’s suffocating to live
that way. Can we really live a true and real life with zero deceit?
Ralph Waldo Emerson once said,
“To know that even one life has breathed easier
because you have lived,
that is to have succeeded.”
I have always aspired to be the next Jane Goodall or perhaps
Steve Irwin but look at me now. What am I doing studying to be an engineer? An
electrical one sammo. If this is God’s plan for me, would I really have to abandon
my dream because God says no? And I thought He says, “Knock and the door will
be opened, ask and you shall receive.”
I’m so tired that I’m not thinking straight anymore.
I guess I'll just end here.
