today
i did something i have never tried to do before. in school at least. i went walking around school looking for people to talk with about God. evangelising yes, not proselytizing. i was super afraid for what questions people might throw me with, or accuse me of (e.g. being a religious zealot)
but i'm glad i walked around and i happened to talk with 3 girls and i prayed with them. it just changes things, somehow on a spiritual level in the midst of week 12 with projects looming.
met up with the India peeps for dinner @ Mustafa #likeaboss and we talked about India, how we each found love in a hopeless place. and yet somehow today felt like the closing of a chapter that i've kept open for too long. a chapter that has slipped through my fingers. and looking back maybe things would have been different but it was so childish and immature. something struck a chord in my heart; in India i was allowing someone else to dictate my emotions, and no one should be allowed to do that. feelings of happiness will forever be preserved in memories, but true joy punctuates every living moment. i want overabundant joy in my life, not fleeting happiness.
with that, i pen the final full.stop. and promise my dear heart to wrap it in layers of bubble wrap. and maybe one day i'll meet someone who's willing to slowly peel the layers away..
