boundaries.

it's funny how boundaries make a whole lot of difference; or so i was enlightened as i sat in the car yesterday. beyond those glass windows, the world goes by before my eyes so clearly that i can almost touch it, yet a sense of distance is inevitably felt. those people out there and their life stories, almost shrouded by a mystery that hides comfortably behind these glass windows that, in the same manner, separates the sounds from the sights.

yet, strangely, it's significantly different within those glass windows. the windows stay the same and clear they remain, but instead of a vague perception of the other, it's almost compelling for one to understand the other when both beings are held within those windows, that space, those boundaries.

do boundaries divide and separate, or do they bind and unite? the former is hurting, the latter, well, let's just say that it requires a lot of courage to enable it to come to pass. i guess, thats perhaps the very reason that boundaries are commonly perceived as the former.

it's strange how you know the holidays are here when most of your friends start disappearing. perhaps having had the burden of meeting datelines removed, it's that sudden increase in spare time that makes that wistfulness well up in you even more.
something my friend said today that struck me. "well, it's good for us as christians, cos at least we know that God has already prepared that special someone for us." such faith that sometimes i simply dont have the courage to have. maybe if i knew for sure that say at 21 im going to get a guy that loves me for who i am and with whom im hopelessly in love with, maybe i would have been more confident of what to expect, of who i am, and of my faith. but thinking again, then that probably isnt faith anymore. surprisingly i came across this statement today. "faith is one that hands everything to God, confident in his character and purposes rather than our answers." how apt. faith is more than believing that every story will have a fairy tale ending, rather it's believing in the writer of the story that he will give each story a well ended conclusion.

a song, any song.

cruel to be kind - letters to cleo one of those songs that still dont make sense to me even though i read the lyrics a million times over. but i love it nonetheless, perhaps because of the smile that creeps onto my face everytime i think of the sweet scene between patrick verona and kat stratford in 10 things i hate about you . there's just something about romantic shows that always seem to get me, no matter how cheesy these moments might seem on hindsight.
