I forgot about you!

Oh, hello!!

Goodness gracious, I have forgotten about this blog. What a FAIL!

I guess it’s been almost a whole year since I’ve last written in this..how has time passed this quickly?!?! I honestly thought it must have been a few months at most.

Anyhow, what’s been new? Well…I’m in my last semester, student teaching! It’s been a great experience. But it also explains why I’m writing in this at 6:22 AM. Actually, HOLD ON!

I gotta go get ready! Just wanted to dip my toes in the water before I plunge back into this (:

Be prepared.

Happy Belated Birthday, Mo

Yesterday, Valentine’s Day, was Mo’s birthday.

It feels strange not being able to call him up and tell him directly. It’s weird that I can’t really celebrate it.

If you were alive, Mo, you’d be 21! Legal drinking status =) Not that you would have taken a drink anyway, because you’re just not into it. That’s awesome haha! Or maybe you would have had one drink, just to appease the rest of us. But probably you’d shrug it off and we wouldn’t even notice.

I ended up taking a “mental health week” last week. I stopped going to classes after Monday. By Friday, I was so occupied with thinking about your passing that I couldn’t even bear thinking about having to sit through classes. And I know that outside, people thought I was just being lazy haha.

Anyway, I didn’t even know how to celebrate for you yesterday. I spent a lot of time just thinking about you, though. I don’t know if it was enough. I thought maybe I should buy you a flower. But I didn’t know where I’d put it or what to do with it. And when it dies or withers, could I bear to throw it out?

So, nevertheless, I didn’t really do anything for you. But I still remember you and I keep dreaming about you and such. You know, last night I had a dream that a childhood classmate told me he was going to kill himself. And I got so upset and I was running around in my dream, trying my hardest to stop him. And then I found out he said it just to upset me. My other friend was telling me to stop freaking out because he did the same to her. But I kept crying and crying and crying. I think I was mourning for you in my dreams.

Anyway, I really really miss you. I’m starting to forget your face and your mannerisms, but I guess when I reminisce, I can see clear pictures of you, like little reels of film in my head.

Sometimes I think I make too big of a deal of this, as if everyone else expects me to move on quickly. I mean, so many people in the world experience death every day, but the world keeps moving fast.

But I won’t let you go just yet, Mo. Don’t think that we’ll move on without you, that we’ll leave you in the past. We’re still fighting to keep you here with us and the memory of you alive.

Anyway. I find it sweet that you would be born on Valentine’s Day, because you really embodied love at its greatest.

Happy Birthday, Mo. I truly miss you and love you forever.

Overwhelming Tragedies

huhrsheykiss — Mon, 10 Nov 2008 15:57:00 +0000

On my way to class, I couldn’t help but feel so sorry for this world. In light of a recent tragic passing of one of the students on my campus, my mind has been focused on the hurt on this campus. I’m almost certain that everyone knows somebody (or at least somebody who knows somebody) who is going through a tough time. So far, I believe there have been at least 4 deaths from this campus in the past summer/semester. What really burdens my heart is that I never cared before. I think Jesus is calling me to start caring for this campus and to mourn with those who mourn.

So even though I don’t know the girl who passed, I extend my condolences to everyone who was struck by this tragedy. Now what can I do to help take care of these broken hearts? What would Jesus do? (WWJD!)

Along with that, recent news about massacre in India has struck me with shocking amount of reaction. I guess I never really cared about..anyone. But I guess God is starting to break my heart for what breaks His. Anyway, please keep in prayer not only the Christians who are being hunted down and murdered in India, but also just for all the lost and broken and needy and poor and orphaned and widowed and hurting people in this world. Christians really need to step up and do something to help because right now I believe a great number of us are so comfortable being safe&protected that we have forgotten about those who suffer.

Whatcha Thinkin’?

So, I’m sitting here reflecting. Reflecting on what I think about. Did you ever think about what you think about? Try it sometime.

So, these are some of my top recurring thoughts:

Thought #1-I’m hungry

Thought #2-I wanna go home

Thought #3-I hate school. Why do I hate school so much?

Thought #4-If the world ended today, I would not be ready.

The last one was not actually a frequent thought until recently. Feels like people talk about the end of times, the Antichrist, and all that scary scary scary stuff.

So I’ve decided to do some research on what is supposed to happen at the end of times. Because quite honestly, I have no clue. Something about rapture? (dunno what that is though.) mm…Jesus comes back, and then the world goes into frenzy and life is extremely extremely hard, and then that’s it? Yeah, see, I really don’t know anything because that probably is not exactly how it goes. So..as I embark on this knowledge journey, I will post my learnings so we can think together.

Thought #5-Sigh. I need more Jesus.

Bonjour!

Good evening, precious readers of this new (and soon-to-be-booming) blog!

What do I plan to write about on this blog? That’s a great question. Based on my superduper extensive experience with blogging, I would say that I will most likely expound upon topics including (but not limited to):

life lessons
Frustrations
Faith-based revelations
Food
Music

Who knows? I’m excited though. Aren’t you?
