I Am Thankful

I am thankful for everything I have experienced
In this life of mine
For in all I have found
That in His Word-the answers I find

I am thankful for all the tears I have cried
For they have taught me to appreciate laughter
They have given me the ability to see the
The joy that comes after

Through my tears I have come to know
His Holy Spirit in my life
How He is always there
And comforts through the strife

I am thankful for the storms I have encountered
Knowing that the rainbow is at the end
Realization that they are only temporal
That with time all will mend

I have learned that I don’t need to be strong
For Yahshua supplies the strength for me
He shoulders my burdens
Regardless of what the circumstance may be

I am thankful for all the relationships
For the good and yes, for the bad
For they have given life to my emotions
An appreciation of what I have had

My most valuable relationship
Is that with Yahweh, my Father
I know that I can trust Him
As I can trust no other

I am thankful for the pain I have known
It has given a compassion for the suffering
An ability to reach out to others
An appreciation of little things

I understand the greatness of Yahshuas love
And the pain He has suffered for me
How He endured all things
So that I could be set free

I am thankful for the hunger and thirst
That I have had to go through
I appreciate having food before me
And sharing it with others too

He has given himself as my food and drink
To make sure that I was fed
His Blood shed for my drink
And His Body broken for my bread

Most of all, I am thankful for His Grace
For the provisions that it brings
How it has provided for
Me in all things

The Person I Long To Be

The day light breaks again
Another day has begun.

But still no sleep has come.
My body is weary

My mind overworked.
I lie awake thinking

But what I am unsure.
I need to break free from the cycle I endure.

Everyday is the same and the nights are undistinguished.
I feel as though I am being pushed along with the tide

Unable to break free from the everyday flow.
This is not me I need to change, before time takes over

And I am unable to change.
I need to be freed from the grasp of ordinary

And become that person I have always longed for.
Express myself in every way, and conquer the dreams as I lie awake.

Then I may fall asleep and put my mind to rest.
Make changes in my life and help those in need.

I would like to touch everyone's life in a positive way
And leave my mark on society before I fade away.

I’m
Taking a ride
Off to one side
It is a personal thing
Where
When I can’t stand
Up in this cage I’m not regretting

I don’t need a better thing
I’d settle for less
It’s another thing for me
I just have to wander through this world
Alone

Stop
before you fall
Into the hole that I have dug here
Rest
Even as you
Are starting to feel the way I used to

I don’t need a better thing
Just to sound confused
Don’t talk about everyone
I am not amused by you

'Cause I’m gonna lose you
Yes, I’m gonna lose you
If I'm gonna lose you

'Cause I’m gonna lose you
Yes, I’m gonna lose you
If I'm gonna lose you

I'm gonna lose you for good

Peter Yorn //Lose You

If I never meet you in this life, let me feel the lack; a glance from your eyes, and my life will be yours.

me without you

I dream of a world not afraid of color. A world where Oranges and Cyans can cohabit freely. Where Magentas and Greens hold hands with Greys and Teals. A world where no one would deny the right of a Yellow to marry a Blue. I dream of a world where the color one wears is as bold as one is.

“Jordan Lee 7/1/08

Today I think upon the nature of the mind and how little of mine I know. It wasn’t too long ago that I was of the assumption that the mind was something I used, a tool that I was given and relied on.

Only after each day of watching myself in action have I found I am, instead, just an occurance of my mind, this deeper thing that is my fate embodied.”

"I’ve never been 100% confortable and confident in myself, but I mask it pretty well."

so yeah, i am so much a dreamer still.
thanks to you, i know it now.

"It’s so many miles and so long since I’ve met you
Don’t even know what I’ll find when I get to you
But suddenly now, I know where I belong
It’s many hundred miles and it won’t be long" -Train Song

Sometimes i still feel the bruise.

This is just to say “hello”
And to let you know
I think of you from time to time
I know I never really knew you
But somehow I miss you
And wish that you’d stayed in my life

Making contact gets harder
As the silence grows longer
And isn’t it only me
Who’d like us to see each other?
How I would hate to be a bother
The way we left it was you’d ring

I’m under no illusion
As to what I meant to you
But you made an impression
And sometimes I still feel the bruise
Sometimes I still feel the bruise

Now and then I stumble on
What I’ve misplaced but never lost
An ache I first felt long ago
Though you’ve appeared and disappeared
Throughout these past few years
I’d be surprised if you now showed

Making contact gets harder
As the silence grows longer
And why would you think of me
When you were not the one in love?
When you were not the dreamer?
When you were just the dream?

Same but Different

I'm in a boat
On the sea
And I see
You on the shore
So sure
Of yourself

You're in a boat
On the sea
And you see
Me on the shore
So sure
Of myself

We're in a boat
All at sea
And we see
We are the same
The same
But different

-Vashti Bunyan

you paly me hot and cold

FOOTPRINTS ON THE HEART-

"Some people come into our lives and quickly go.
Some people move our souls to dance.
They awaken us to new understanding with the passing whisper of their wisdom.
Some people make the sky more beautiful to gaze upon.
They stay in our lives for awhile, leave footprints on our hearts
And we are never, ever the same."

Crimson Days

Every night I empty my heart, but by morning it's full again
Slow droplets of you sleep in through the night's soft caress
At dawn I overflow with thoughts of us
An aching pleasure that gives me no respite
Love cannot be contained
The neat packaging of desire splits asunder
Spilling crimson through my days
Long, languishing days that are now bruised tender with yearning
Spent searching for a fingerprint, a scent, a breath you left behind.

-Kelly Moss

today i put my purse in the washer. only to find out the washing had poked a hole in it during the course. but hey, no worries, i superglued it and it's all fixed now. a scare is not gonna hurt me.

- thanks for being my friend

i could be into you if i knew you were into me, you know

很多時候我們總是身處在孤獨的位置上
獨自面對著四面八方而來的龐大壓力和責任
要消化這些巨量的負荷
必須同時擁有堅定的意志、樂觀的心情、以及積極的態度
不能天真地期待別人來照亮自己
自己就是自己唯一的太陽

people who make us happy are
never the people you expect.
so...when you find someone,
you got to cherish it.
