I used to believe that love had one name.

That there was one person you could love that way, and if you lost them, you were done. That even if you meet others, a part of you would always be waiting for the one you had already chosen.

Then love came around the second time, and then I realized that maybe I was wrong?
I loved again in a way that taught me...

That love was bigger than a person...
It does not run out when people walk away.
And that the significance of its death is like that of a seed, it dies to grow, to multiply.

And maybe in the end, THE ONE is simply whoever comes around and when given the chance, chooses to stay, against all odds.

I used to be Marie the quiet girl,
the one constantly asked why I am the way I am.
But it feels like one day, everyone became like me.
Everyone is quiet now, living their private lives, and there is nobody left to ask why.

Maybe they got to know me and loved where I am, the quiet place.
I sure hope they weren't pushed into the quiet corner by life, forced to become me
...when they were happier being loud.

If you look into the distance, there's a house upon the hill
Guiding like a lighthouse
To a place where you'll be safe to feel our grace
Cause we've all made mistakes
If you've lost your way
I will leave the light on.

I wish I was made of poetry and patience
Someone better should be here to write your songs
But I will give you all there is of me, until my days are through
'Cause love is a thing you do

I have never wanted anyone to hand me the world.
All I've ever wanted is for someone to look at me and see theirs.

People with good hearts, people who love genuinely, actually win. Others think they don't because what they call winning is measured by a different trophy. But the people who love play for something else and they actually walk away with it.

They win the ability to love over and over again and to receive love when it is given. They win a heart that even after it has been hurt, carries no bitterness.

For what significance is there in winning at being loved more, when your heart has become so hardened that it cannot receive love? What is the point of taking affection, attention, admiration, people...from others yet you will never truly enjoy any of it because bitterness has filled every part in you where joy should have lived?

The greatest victory in love is not being loved more than everyone else, it is remaining capable of love in a world where the hearts of many have grown cold.

It might be a unique ambition but the major reason I work is to be able to afford switching off my phone when I want to and to disappear completely every now and then without worrying about what that might cost me.

Those people you say will love and support me when it is beneficial, where and how will they find me? 😂

When you abound in the love of one, you begin to see yourself through the eyes of the one who loves you.

1 Corinthians 13:13
13 And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

20 Aug, 26 (E)

There are those who say they don’t need love. They treat those who truly love them as though they are helping them, like they should be grateful for the opportunity to love them. Because they don’t give love, they think it is something with no significance. They forget that it is through being loved that one gets the confidence to even feel like they can live without love. Hope, faith, joy and confidence are fruits from the love given to us, even when we don’t recognise it.

Love covers a multitude of wrongs and without it, we are exposed to the extreme versions of our undesirable selves, to the parts of us we constantly struggle to love.
So, the more you feel like you are too special to need love, you should be reminded that you have been loved so much that you were even able to feel special in the first place.

I want to be in love. I really do. It is beautiful to have someone I can call mine, to love someone.
But when having someone means surrendering the freedom to be alone forever, having someone in my bed every day, and eventually having other little human beings who depend on my attention to survive, I wonder if it is worth it.

If only life could give us both.

Maybe the saying, “You can’t always have what you want,” isn't really about how many things you can acquire. Maybe it is about whether you can have them exactly the way you want them. Whether you can somehow beat irony and get the beautiful thing without having to accept all the things that come with it. Not because they are bad but because you are not ready to handle them.

Do you want to accept Christ as your saviour today? Can I tell you about Him and you see if that is what you want? Please reach out. I can even give you a call if you wish. ❤️

In the same space where you have the right to say WHATEVER you want, others have an equal right to react HOWEVER they want to what you've said.

So, bring it on. 😂

To those who seek the truth, life isn't made easier by being given explanations for everything. It's made easier by being helped to accept what is. Honestly, some explanations, when they seem too far from the truth, only make things worse, making everything, even the truth itself feel like a lie.

I think generally in life, if you want to keep your boundaries firm, you have to reduce or stop asking for help. The more people help you and you need them to do so again, even though they be of the same gender, there are certain terms of theirs you will have to adhere to. And some of those are not very respectful.

Let there be no blur between the narrow path and the broad road.
Let my life leave no room for confusion.

May conviction overpower comfort,
And righteousness rest upon acceptance.
"I do not want the world to look at me and perceive me to be on the same page with it."

Maybe we would be happier.
We would be more patient, more willing to live,
if we remembered that we are a constant work in progress,
holding onto hope until we witness its completion.

If we remembered that we were made a little lower than angels,
Maybe we would not hold ourselves to their standards.

Maybe we would be more forgiving.
Because in knowing ourselves, even as we are known,
We would know others even as they are,
not as we wish they could be.

You can't be great if conventionalism is your life's ideology. There comes a point where you must know what you want, how you want your life to be, and refuse to let that be defined by how everyone else lives. You were put on this earth to live as yourself, not as a clone of someone else.

My biggest flex in life is being able to live as I believe. I will know I have lived if the way I live and experience life aligns with my convictions about it.

People who are allergic to effort assume every decision is made based on ease or convenience. That's why, whenever you say something is easy, they ask why you didn't choose that path if it is easy
They don't understand choices can also be guided by purpose, conviction, responsibility, values or any other reasons that go beyond comfort and convenience.

If nostalgia becomes your campus, how will you grow then? Life moves towards the future. The past is a seductress, calling us to chase a beauty that no longer exists, while drawing our eyes away from the abundance we have today and the greater things waiting ahead for us.

"What doesn't kill you makes you stronger"

No. What didn't kill me just failed. It didn't apologize, either. Given another chance, it would try again, and I don't know if it wouldn't succeed. It has no intentions of making me anything else other than a corpse. So no, I'm not making peace with it or thanking it for making me stronger. I'm trying to destroy it before it gets another chance to actually kill me. 😂🤣

The best piece I ever wrote about myself.

20 Jul, 26

At some point I believed I could write the pain away, joy into existence, and love into requital. And that same faith comes around whenever I need words to carry me.

Powerful international bodies, including the World Bank, theInternational Monetary Fund (IMF), the Bank for International Settlements (BIS),central banks, World Economic Forum (WEF) and major tech corporations are actively orchestrating the worldwide digitisation of identity, finance, and governance.
To execute this, countries are rolling out Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI).
This foundational framework links digital IDs, cashless payments, and centralized data- sharing platforms together to control and deliver all public and private services.

The problem is that our transgressions and iniquities often feel more real on us than they do on Him. We feel them on ourselves instead of seeing them upon Christ. Until He feels them and asks, "Whose are these?" And you say, "They are mine, Lord." We remain so focused on ourselves instead of on what He has already carried.

That is why it is dangerous when the enemy uses your sins and iniquities against you until you begin to own them. Let me tell you: you no longer own those transgressions. You may say, "But I actually committed them." They are no longer yours. They are on Him.

The moment He took those transgressions, the curse fell upon Him. "He was wounded for your transgressions. He was bruised for your iniquities. The chastisement of your peace was upon Him." Whatever robs you of your peace was laid upon Him. ~Prophet Elvis.

It is not low self-esteem. I know exactly who I am, and I am confident in that. That's why I don't allow someone else's lack of urgency or enthusiasm towards me to change my character and principles.

Actually, constantly "matching energy" is the peak of low self-esteem because it means allowing other people's behavior shift your entire personality. If every time your true self is not received positively you become someone different, you're no longer acting from your own convictions, you're living life reactively. You have no self esteem because you don't even have a "self" to begin with.
