"You should know better than that; And before you go on breaking my heart;
And I fall even deeper in love; And my lungs screaming out “can you hear me?” You should know better than that."
//Andy Grammer; You Should Know Better (LIVE @ Troubadour)
This man's got an amazing dose of heart and soul and boy, can he sing. The full release of his album is officially slated for 14th June, can't wait at all! When, oh when will we ever see him live on our sunny island?
"And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh; your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, and your young men shall see visions. Even on the male and female servants, in those days I will pour out my Spirit."
//Joel 2: 28 -29 (English Standard Version)
Nothing compares to the place where I can see you face to face. Where there is nothing left to hide, no words left to say and I am only left with the utter amazingness of who you are. How do you begin to understand when you stand on the outside and look in like a spectator? How do you begin to experience the depth and breadth of the entirety of what he did? How do you begin to know and love all that he is?
I called, you answered. And you came to my rescue and I, have to be where you are. In the end, it's as simple as that. Happy Pentecost Sunday :)
"There are so few people given us to love. I want to tell my daughters this, that each time you fall in love it is important, even at nineteen. Especially at nineteen. And if you can, at nineteen, count the people you love on one hand, you will not, at forty, have run out of fingers on the other. There are so few people given us to love and they all stick."
//Anne Enright; The Gathering
There is nothing better than chilling with friends you haven't hung with out in the longest time on a drizzly Saturday afternoon over wings, pizzas, and frappes. Just talking, just sharing, just being authentic. I don't think I will ever tire of hearing peoples' stories; the things they go through, the hurts they have, the ways they learn to have faith in those that they love. And in some ways, it made me think of the ways in which we've grown since we entered Uni and it made me miss the days we spent in utter innocence. When being nice was all that you needed to know about somebody, when hanging out meant we loitered endlessly in coffeeshops, when our only worry was making trainings and tutorials. From when in time did it turn into choices, decisions, lines drawn in the sand?
So let your heart be broken, let your temper be lost. Let your scars heal, let your life go on. What is broken and rebuilt can only be stronger. Beauty is only ever found in imperfection.
"But he hadn’t been overwhelmed to the point of incapacity. The after-effects had not weakened or permanently damaged him. Perhaps he’d even been strengthened. That’s what bad events were supposed to do to you, provided you were tough enough to start."
//Rachel Anderson; Red Moon
I've been so distracted and tired this whole week that it feels a bit like I'm trying too darn hard to do so many things at the same time that I'm beginning to run on empty. Maybe in all the hustles and bustles, I forgot to look to who I am and what I live for. Forgot that I am not valued for where I've gone, what I've done or how I look. Forgot that I am yours, And where else am I better reminded of this than on Fridays? In the brief moments I had though, I'm grateful for the people and friends I've met this week, thankful for the advice, the kindness and the heartstohearts.
Fall down, pick yourself up. Over and over, begin again.
"But things as fragile as a thought, a dream, a legend, they can go on and on. If you can change the way people think. The way they see themselves. The way they see the world. You can change the way people live their lives. That's the only lasting thing you can create."
//Chuck Palahniuk; Choke
I guess it's only when I have to do it that I realise it takes a whole lot of effort, commitment and planning to even get one session started. I've been trying to work on it working on it pretty much the whole week but I'm still super anxious about how it all turns out. Which frankly is silly, considering that in the end, he's probably gonna come and take control of the whole situation just like we always knew he would. Still, I can appreciate all the hard work that goes into it now, ha.
