“Healing is layers. Healing is time. Healing is excruciating. Once you think it’s done, it’s not.”

Sleepless Nights🌛

Why does sleep seem elusive to me?

As I shut my eyes

and lull myself

in the deafening silence of the night,

lingering thoughts started flooding my head

And, they keep me wide awake

with the moon as my companion

The sea is caling my name. I must heed, but adult life iz stoppin’ me.

“You think the dead we loved ever truly leave us? You think that we don’t recall them more clearly than ever in times of great trouble? Your father is alive in you, Harry, and shows himself plainly when you have need of him.”

— J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban

I miss my mom a lot.🥺 I promise that she will forever be alive in my heart and in my mind. And, I know that she will never abandon me and my brother. She is always here to guide us. Death can never be a barrier for us to feel her great and eternal love.

“How do I thank my mother for giving me the life she desperately wanted for herself?”

- Lang Leav, Love Looks Pretty on You

I couldn’t thank her enough for being the ‘not-so-perfect-but-still-the-best’ mother to me and my bro while also fulfilling a father’s duty. My only wish is for her to live a longer life, so I can give back the kind of life that she definitely deserves.

This is the sickest burn.

“Worship the Lord your God, and serve only him” (Luke 4:8). “Jesus knows what that means. It means lowliness, abuse, persecution. It means remaining misunderstood. It means hate, death, the cross. And he chooses this way from the beginning. It is the way of obedience and the way of freedom, for it is the way of God. And therefore it is also the way of love for human beings.”

— Dietrich Bonhoeffer (God Is on the Cross: Reflections on Lent and Easter)

The path we choose towards God is not all sunshine and daisies. It is rough and bumpy. But our destination is clear. It holds the promise of love, happiness and everlasting life.

Looking back on 2021 is bitter and painful. I lost the most important person in my life — my mom. I can still vividly remember all the nights that I cried myself to sleep, the times when I questioned God and asked Him to take me with her, the days when I came home to an empty and lonely house, without the warmth of a mother waiting for me.

It’s without a doubt, the worst year of my life.

Now, as I bid farewell to 2021, may I also leave behind all the sorrow and heartache it brought me.

May 2022 be the year for complete healing and for finding new hope and strength from God.🙏🏼

Why does it have to hurt like this?
