Memes are going around the blogosphere like sniffles in flu season these days. I've been tagged thrice already! I wonder what's the blogosphere's equivalent of Vitamin C... Anyway, since I've caught Janvier's germs, might as well let it take it's course. Truth be told, I don't really think of these things, but I think Mother Theresa once said that a life that you do not reflect on is not worth living.... so here:
Meeting my first love... and hopefully the last
Being the late bloomer that I am, I did not have any crushes, puppy love in my teenage years. I would like to blame my parents for instilling the whole "study first, love later" mantra, but truth be told, I was just too repressed and afraid to love. When KH came into the picture, everything changed. My walls melted away. My heart finally opened. I began to "feel". Never had I known how good it felt and also how bad it hurt. I'm just starting out, but I look forward to the journey ahead, with KH holding my hand.
Finding my faith...
For years I had believed in exsitance of God. But I guess I just didn't know who He is. With the passing of my dad, the latent Catholicism in my family reemerged. I had cried the night I heard the Rosary being read for my dad's soul and the lyrics of "Amazing Grace" really did struck a chord in me. It began with my mother. Jesus chose her. For years, I had kept my heart closed, but I had attended church. Joined the liturgy of the Mass. And only recently was I baptized-- I had finally let myself hear His calling. The Lord is my shepherd and I shall not want...
Being honest with myself...
I'm not one to live in denial, but I definitely am a person who believes in "out of sight, out of mind". I can amazingly push things to the back of my head and let things proceed as it is. For years, I had been going through life like that, until one day, I decided that enough was enough. I told myself to accept who I am and not turn a blind eye anymore. I had decided to live my life. A big turning point in my life, and it definitely is intertwined with the first two moments above-- with KH opening the floodgates and with God after I had come to a certain reconciliation and understanding.
I must say that only with all the adversities in life, we would care to struggle on to enjoy the sweetness that it can bring. Anyway, since I'm already "down with the flu", might as well pass it on. I think I'll "sneeze" on KH, but then I wonder if he'll blog about "Happy" moments instead of happy moments. Hehe. Oh well.
