I feel it's harder to talk to you every day. You said that I'm able to come to speak privately to you about any matter, but when I try  to do so, you get angry and lash out at me about what I said. I felt you were angry not because of the merit of my words but because of my position as a daughter when I said those things to you. If it had not been ( Read more... )

The thing I hate about pride is that it's so sensitive. The slightest prod against it side, it would explode a volcano of molten lava and fire--going int a huge rampage to demolish everything in its sight, creating new barrier against its exterior to defend itself.

Last Sunday had been a horrible experience for me teaching Sunday school. I was extremely disappointed in the kids I was teaching. They were very loud, obnoxious, and rude. It was hard for me to teach the lesson having to scream over the other students voices and constant nagging and complaining to go out and play. My heart ached when one of the ( Read more... )

In a time of uncertainty, of pressure to move on with my life, of sadness, of loneliness, of bitterness, of being lost and wandering, I am grateful to have a sister that I can lean upon. She is my guidance and a reaching hand to redirect my steps. Sometimes I am afraid ( Read more... )

I am a mussel--
not an abalone: keep-safing a precious pearl inside its mouth...nutritious and highly valued
not an oyster: tough on the outside yet soft and filling on the inside
not a clam: small and cute and adored by everyone

I am a mussel: plain, simple, found easily on the beach-side shore. Often covered with unattractive barnicles riding on its ( Read more... )

I heard your words as you spoke to me today. I read your words that you wrote to mom that other day. You make it sound like it was none of your own fault that this was to happen this way. You said you have done and sacrificed so much for this family, yet they cannot see it. I sat there wondering why I cannot digest those words ( Read more... )

I'm looking up
yet falling down
down, down, down...

wondering when I'll reach rock bottom...

Running running running ( Read more... )
