Poetry, Couples, and Pajamas

Hey, guys! Sorry it's been a while since I last posted.
If you're wondering about the title of this post, I found out that today is 'Wear your pajamas to work day', and this month is poetry month and couples appreciation month. (and I just wrote 'pajamas' as 'pamajas'.)


But before getting to the couples part of this, allow me to say: You don't need to be part of a romantic relationship to be worth something. And this isn't some pumped up 'strong independent gung-po woman' advice. I get depressed too. I wonder if anyone will ever care about me that way too. I wonder what's wrong with me too. And I understand, me saying that you don't need to be part of a relationship won't make everything magically better. It's a struggle, fighting against what we're told every day (via media, brain, etc). But I just want you guys to know that. You don't need a significant other to be special. You are special because you are you. God's got a plan for you and He's made you -your personality, your thoughts, your emotions, your dreams - for that. Sometimes you might have to give something up. But don't ever give up on yourself.

Random cheering-up post

Hey. It seems like we're hearing a lot of bad stuff in the news lately. I'm not here to complain about that. We need to know these things. But sometimes it seems like the bad stuff is all there is. Like there's no happiness or kindness left in the world. And that's not altogether true. Yes, we are a messed up people. Yes, life is rough. But that's not the end.

When worrying about the future, it's good to remember this quote from the Christmas Carol:

"Are these the shadows of things that will be, or the shadows of things that may be only? These events can be changed. A life can be made right!" - Ebeneezer Scrooge

The world is most certainly messed up. But somewhere, someone, even just one person, can be turning a life right, and maybe saving others at the same time, with little acts of courage and love.
