I wont let my anger or unforgiveness toward you ruin my life.
I’d rather be a person motivated by love, rather than by fear. Can do, mandoo.
And a final thought. I’ve been contemplating this aspect regarding my future career and realized: I can’t run away from rude/difficult people or situations. I’ll always find them wherever I go. It’s just up to me to be thick-skinned and strong-spirited to patiently endure this. I have to let go of my pride a little bit more. Every time I’m faced with something like...
Sometimes, I wish you could learn how to eat some humble pie. Despite your old age, you can be wrong too. Just because you’re older doesn’t mean that you stop growing intellectually and emotionally; and it sure as heck doesn’t mean that you can demand respect from left and right, when YOU don’t give it. Gosh, sometimes I think you can be SO rude and SO ungrateful, and so...

Last night I made the decision to spiritually adopt a baby who is in danger or being aborted. This entitles praying every day for 9 months for this baby’s life and for the parents so that they might choose life. So every day for the next 9 months I am going to be praying for this baby’s life and also saying a decade of the Rosary....

One day while at the part, I watched as a little child took a small piece of gravel in her hand. After dusting off the dirt, she ran to her mom and joyfully declared, “Mommy, I found a diamond!” Smiling, her mom said, “No honey, that’s just a plain rock.” That is when the little girl did something…

Lately I’ve been unsure of how best to spend my time. The paradox of it all is that I have a lot of things to do, just lack the motivation to do them right now.
If only motivation was something that can be easily obtained.
I marvel at people who are so self-disciplined and can push on with what they need to do, even if they don’t want to do it, or lack the motivation to do so. You...
I wish you could come back. I miss you. We laugh and talk, but it doesn’t feel the same way; there’s this undisputed awkwardness, an obvious attempt to pretend that everything is okay with you, when in actuality, it’s not. We’re both going through some emotionally testing times right now, and I kind of wish that I could lean on you like before. But I know that you have to...
Passion.
For the longest time, my mind has been plagued by my search for my passion in life. I’ve tried to discover what I am really good at, and my search is turning up dry for me… Lately, I’ve been finding that I’ve been making mistake after countless mistake. Maybe it’s God teaching me to be more humble, and to patiently trust that He will reveal to me my life’s...

Do you ever look back to photos, to blogs, to journal entries and see how they were filled with so much hope and optimism? Do you ever wonder after looking at them, where has that bright smile gone, where has that unbreakable trust, hope and optimism have disappeared to? I look to the past in that way, and wonder to myself where these things have gone… and it makes me sad. The answer to this...
It’s really funny how in the midst of focusing on all that’s bad, or going wrong in life, one doesn’t realize how many beautiful things are present right now. Like this beautiful day, for instance. I looked up at the sky for a moment and realized it hasn’t rained heavily at all since the new year began, and that today is such a beautiful day, and that God allowed me to...
