The Wasted Years

“Honestly, I can’t recall ever doing that to you,” she said. Her voice was soft, and sincere; her eyes wide with curiosity. She wasn’t defensive, just confused. And in that moment, I could tell... she was telling the truth. But me? I sat there, brows furrowed, trying so hard to keep the anger from leaking out through my eyes. My mind was screaming, “what do you mean you can’t remember? How can you forget the words that bruised my heart so deeply? How dare you act like it didn’t happen? After all these years of carrying this pain… this is what I get?” For years, I had rehearsed this moment in my head, the day I’d finally tell Mimi how much her words and actions hurt me. The day I’d speak my truth and finally find healing. And now that day had come. I had the privilege of sitting face to face with her. My heart was pounding with a mix of relief and fear. But the moment I brought up the past, Mimi looked at me with a puzzled face and gently said she couldn’t remember any of it...

Arise, oh Giant!

Arise, oh Giant! Earlier this year, I watched a Korean movie titled "2Weeks". I love Korean action, crime, or horror movie. I will give an overview of the movie and what stood out for me.

One of the things I do in my leisure is take a walk on the street o Instagram. Lol. While I was scrolling through the reels, a particular excerpt from Aps. Iren's message caught my attention. Here's the summary: he said "God called every creature forth in their respective habitat by speaking to their source. One reason the creatures can't survive once they're taken away from their source." He further said that: "When man was to be created, God spoke to Himself; meaning man's source is God. The moment you take God out of man's life, He's nothing but a living dead (Adam and Eve can attests to that)." This reminded me of the experience I had sometimes ago. I was having a very tough time which made me conclude that God cannot be trusted. Funny, right? I felt, if truly He's God why did He subject me to hardship and pains. As a result, I decided to journey away from Him like the prodigal son. The foolish decision I've ever m...
