Gettin Stuff off my mind

sometimes i need to get things off my chest n i feel bloggin bout it seems e best way..

i've had some nasty experiences in e past with certain persons whom i was chasin...n dat threw mi off datin for quite some time..

den i realise dat someone comes along n e whole world can turn upside n down..but den it makes mi recall past failures n nasty experiences n makes mi realli apprehensive over e whole issue..

n i feel horrible all over again..insecurity comes in n a lack of confidance which realli shows mi up for who i am..alwaez over-analyzin n worryin bout bein made use of while actin e coward 2 often..face to face with my own shortcomins is like lookin in2 a dark mirror..just like e Corinthian character in e Sandman series..revealin e darkest secrets n facets of what we are n wat we are afraid 2 face up to..n there we find our darkest passions dat grip us n hold us in a vice n drive us forward...

dun be fooled..every1 has a or some dark passions...n i dun think these r bad neccessarily..just wat God puts in us dat allows us 2 struggle with, sometimes overcomin, sometimes succumbin...n invariabli turned 2wards His noble ends..

my dark passion/s? A main one is the search for identity, security n Respect..yes..dat word...Respect...my pax imperium dat e onli way a man can b respected is thru wat he accomplishes n makes...not altogethr rite n not 1 i agree with totalli..but its there..

another is e search for stability n normality..sometimes i feel as if i'm not "normal"..thus does e search for bein normal aka most comfortable n maintainable continue..

if we shadows do offend, think but dis n all is mended,
dat u hav but slumbered here, while these visions did appear.
give mi ur hands if we be friends,
and
we
dark
passions
shall
restore
amends.

hey jonodude, hope you're getting on alright over there... just posting to wish you a 'Happy New Year!' :P

Life is full of troubles, what is life without struggles? you'll be a boring old weakling without it! Thing is, you must be strong and pick yourself up when you fall! No one owes it to you, and no one's going to pick you up, especially so when you're alone overseas...

And you can take heart for
"we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose."
Romans 8:28

So just do your part and love God, and trust that He will be on your side, and ultimately everything will work out for your good :)

Yup, so thank God for trials, and continue loving Him, and soon the accuser will run out of ammunition, and you'll be blessed a hundredfold! (read: Job)

Hope you'll have a better 2007 :)
