letters and related ramblings
I love letters. I love how they carry the weight (and the incredible comfort) of memories weeks, months, years, after they've been written, like a moment indelibly etched in time, with its sentiments, memories and associated 物の哀れ (mono no aware - the awareness of impermanence) - haha i had to google "a moment in time" to find an untranslatable ( Read more... ) -
journey of a thousand miles
Hihi, it's been my first one and a half weeks back in London and I thought I would (attempt!) to keep up a record of how the year has gone, firstly, so i actually remember a year of my youth in more detail and secondly, to remind myself of God's faithfulness, which I'm sure I'll have lots to write about ( Read more... ) -

"It's like this pendulum you know, you swing back and forth and sometimes you lose sight of where your place in the world is, sometimes it gets a little lost... We do wander and this is part of life's journey, we're not fixed in one spot....

Examples include how I dislike:- Generic "how are yous"

Little talks
It's been such a long time since I last posted and an unbelievable number of things have happened since then!!!

Growing up
Watching a church couple's wedding video lately really got me thinking about the whole idea of growing up. To set the context, they've been together for 10 years and finally tied the knot last weekend. Having watched them stay together all this while...it got me thinking. Will I be able to love someone in that way, ever? Taking a look at all of ( Read more... ) -

"If what we call love doesn't take us beyond ourselves, it is not really love. If we have the idea that love is characterised as cautious, wise, sensible, and never taken to extremes, we have missed the true meaning. This may describe affection and it may bring us a warm feeling, but it is not a true and accurate description of love." - Oswald ( Read more... ) -
