After being through many tribulations in life, especially army, I've learnt what's the most important thing to me.
Thats unconditional love. Love that accepts you for who you are, even when your ugly self is exposed. That selfless love that puts others before yourself.
These are just vain & haughty words, unless you've experienced it.
Yes, just like the prodigal son. Reflecting back, I'm the exact carbon print of that prodigal son. I've never conformed, and I love living out life for myself, seldom heeding the tried and tested methods.
However, whenever I face setbacks in life, when life is harsh, I know who I can turn to. I know who will never say, sorry Im busy or never close their doors to me.
They can only be your family. I've never realised this fact. I almost always take them for granted. This being said, I will learn to cherish and love them back more.
There is this unspoken promise. A promise that they will always be there for you.
I'm thankful for a wholesome family. A place where nothing is lacking, a place where we go through thick and thin together.
Teach me, Oh Lord. What it means by if man can give his son this much, how much more can the Heavenly father bless his child with.
I'm still crippled with fear. Fear that I'd not survive in one piece, fear that I'm inadequate.
My comforter, my shelter and protector. Please don't ever let me go. I don't think I'd survive without you.
Friendship can only withstand the test of time if it grows to be like a family.
