i read an article on love just now..about how we dismiss lament and pain as concepts of love itself...in the article it says.. "Lament is the ancient practice of recognizing the brokenness of the soul and then mustering the courage to embrace it before God. Lament is an act of love - recognizing that in order to truly love, one must be truly honest. Denial is simply a way of hiding.Love does not hide,not even those parts of us that are ugly and sick,not even the words that are hard to say - and even harder to hear." after reading it i thought..no wonder i don't truly love...i haven't been totaly honest with the one i love...i may not even be honest with God himself...well..i should think that it is time i do something about that...time to open up to Him and reveal everything so that nothing is shrouded...i guess no matter how horrible or dark a secret you have,evidently you WILL have to reveal it if you plan on loving someone...it applies not only to our relationship with God,but with spouses,families even friends...i should think that the effects might be positive and negative at the same time...we get a whole load off our shoulders,but we are at the mercy of the ones we pour ourselves onto...more often than not we do not lament as we are ashamed and embarassed of what we have done,what we have become etc...it's not an uncommon sight too...i'm sure that among the 6 billion people inhabiting this planet,not one has no secrets...well..maybe excluding babies...what secrets can they possibly hide from us?often times the things we keep from someone is usually more harmful towards your relationship with them,therefore the secrecy...if we were to admit to our wrongdoings,would they understand?we all know that God is ever loving and understanding...but what if it was a human being?what if we kept a secret so dark that it would jeopardise our whole relationship with him/her?will they accept us for who we are?or will they be leaving us on the next bus to "away from you land"?that's why we keep things from people right?that's why some things are better off not known? |

Jin loves brownies, cookies and cake. Jin has never been anywhere further than Australia. Jin could never stop being a sadistic, sarcastic meanie. Jin is also the opposite of everything said one line up when the need arises. Jin would rather have a desktop rather than a laptop. Jin has an obsessive, compulsive need to ramble, blabber and regurgitate all manner of nonsense. Jin hates being ignored by the people he loves. Jin hates being alone most of the time. Jin hates reflecting about his actions. It's taxing. Jin has a habit of thinking too much. Jin often doesn't see the glass as half-empty or half-full.He just sees the glass. To some, Jin is weird; to others, Jin is even weirder. Jin wants nothing more than to be happy. Rich would be a big plus though. Jin is pretty tired of referring himself in the third person's perspective. |

Being apart from my sayang. Seeing animals get tortured. Seeing people get hurt. Losing what's important to me. Sluggish internet connections. Bittergourds and zombies. |
