What should you do when finally realize you have discovered something beautiful and precious, but you know that it's not something you deserve?

Despite today being one of my rare chances to sleep in, I woke up this morning at 8 am and could not fall back asleep. As my mind churned through the million things I need to finish this weekend, a nagging thought popped into my head; a friend who was deployed to Afghanistan a month ago recently sent me an email, and I have been meaning to reply. He included his address, however, and as my tired mind lay in bed cursing my inability to fall back asleep, I found myself mentally writing a letter to him. I finally succumbed to the urge and pulled out a pen and a sheet of engineering paper. There's something just so organic and personal about a handwritten letter; both the giving and receiving have always been enjoyable for me. Only once I finished and I sealed the letter with a date did I realize what day it is today.

To the people whose nature compels them to serve and protect, in whichever walk of life they choose, you have my respect.

"angelus errare"... where angels lose their way..

Happier than I've been in what feels like a long time.

Teehee. I lol'd.
Writing proposals sucks. Writing proposals when I have a huge homework assignment due the same day sucks even more. Le sigh~

"You'll be loved
Like you never have known
The memories of me
Will seem more like bad dreams
Just a series of blurs
Like I never occurred
Someday you will be loved

You may feel alone when you're falling asleep
And every time tears roll down your cheeks
But I know your heart belongs to someone you've yet to meet
Someday you will be loved"

A monologue of such raw fervor and brutal honesty that I couldn't help but post. It stirred some emotions in me that I hadn't felt for a long time. Thank you Sam for sharing...

A refuge for broken hearts. A magnet for tortured souls. Your eyes betray your sorrow; let me help you bear your burden. Tell me your story. Share me your pain. If you suffer, I'll suffer too. And we'll make it through together. I swear it.

"I'm only human."

Well, it's not good enough. Do you want to be ordinary, or do you want to be the exception?
