One Race

Why do we need to have racial tension? What is it about us that hates people that are different? Perhaps it is that we construct our own lens in which we think the world works, and so anyone who does not fit our stereotypic, self-centered mindset is considered "different."

We must be reminded that diversity is the one true thing we have in common. Therefore, celebrate it every day.

Twitterpatted

Spring is here, and love is in the air. The birds chase each other, flirting by showing off their colorful wings. The bucks are butting their antlers against one another for their lady doe. And close friends are hooking up, showing off their ring. It is the season of love. Me? Am I in love? I am indeed. I am in love with my Creator who has specifically designed me for a purpose. I am in love with my Savior who died for me so that I might be included in the family photos. And He loves me in return. 

A real man though? Am I at this moment falling for someone after all this time healing from my past break up? Could someone fall for a man that she barely knows? Animals do it all the time. But what about heartbreak? I don't want to get hurt again but yet another duchsbag. I don't need that. But this man...is different. He seems to really care. Unfortunately, he lives far away from where I am. Although, that isn't stopping him from coming up to stay with me for a weekend. I don't know how to make out what I am feeling. I don't know if it is right to like him so. Perhaps my lonely, broken heart is eager to attach itself to the first man that shows any sort of affection for me. Perhaps I am not ready to feel love again after so much pain. Perhaps I am not ready to trust another man with my heart. But am I falling for a man in this spring season? Am I twitterpatted? 

I believe I am.

Expanding Abyss Between Us....

I am writing this to a man I love. My best friend. My lover. This is for you.

Long ago, you were my best friend and I fell for your charm. We got closer and began dating. We sometimes went to the movies or ate in restaurants together. I thought I would never be happier in my whole life. But life suddenly grew two heads. It seemed that our relationship became simple, yet confusing. Calm, but chaotic. Happy, yet sorrowful. And the more fights that arose, the more tightly I held on to you, because I didn't want to lose you! I wanted to be all you wanted.

But you left me. I suddenly found myself abandoned with a broken and bitter heart in my bloody hands. I had lost my best friend and the man I loved. I do not understand all of your reasons for erasing yourself out of my life the way you did. I feel as if the abyss between us grows larger with each passing day. But I am learning to live without you somehow. Time heals wounds. I accept the fact that we were not made to be lovers. I accept that you do not want to have anything more to do with me, although I do not know why you hate me so. In public, you pretend that I am invisible to you- do I disgust you that much? You don't want to talk. You don't want to be friends. And even though it kills me, I accept it. However, I still want to be your friend if at all possible.

So if there is ever a time that you think of me. If there is ever even a time that you remember and check my blog. I want you to know that I forgive you. I forgive you, dear friend.

Day & Night

I have been having nightmares. Every other night. I wake up sweating and my heart pounding. It seems I shall never escape this lonesome heartache of mine- neither by day nor by night. Run as I may, it catches me. Hide as I may, it always finds me. Oh God, there must be more to life than living in fear. But the question remains: shall I ever find it? Shall I ever find true joy amidst this gut-wrenching hurting? Will I ever love again? How many times can a heart break before it cannot be mended anymore?
