Innocence was never a virtue I had to begin with
Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven. Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.
Luke 6:37-38
"Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, 'Brother, let me take the speck out of your eye,' when you yourself fail to see the plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye.
Luke 6:41-42
I'm not perfect and never will be. It hurts to be maligned; I never harboured any ill intentions; to sow discord whatsoever. My honesty was taken as a joke; a virtue I thought far surpassed innocence that probably has implications of gullibility. Seems like I'm not that discerning afterall. I'm tired thinking about trying to be a peacemaker and doing my part to salvage whatever that's left; only to be taken for a fool.
At the same time, I'm thankful that conflicts reveal people and how we should always be genuine people. The Bible is so informative; everyone should read to be better people.
19th Nov; A failed surprise for bff!
My final paper ended on bff's birthday and with whatever energy and time I had left, I planned an impromptu surprise for the beloved. It failed (not surprisingly) since my only accomplice was the boy stuck in camp who couldn't provide information spontaneously. Anyhoos, everything fell into place and it warms me heart to know she appreciated it all <3
17th&18th Nov; Secret Starbucks
The study hideout will be a place dearly missed. I will abstain from hot chocolate, mocha frappe, basically any starbucks drinks. Oh, did I mention before that Coffee Bean's drinks are nothing compared to Starbucks. I'm seeing more of Glut after exams I can't wait for all that we've planned together :D There are a lot more photos than this; more viewing on Facebook! :D
Sometimes it's not worth it to go to great lengths to try be a goody-two-shoes pleasing the whole wide world only to realise how much you've lied to nobody but yourself. So I'll learn to leave things as they are because trying to explain would be redundant. With walls built so hard and tall, it's depressing enough to catch a glimpse of it. I'll count my blessings and be true to myself.
