Remembering

I remember a lot these past few days. Things I have done before and just today bits of something about my younger days.

I remember the simplicity of my life. How eating cup noodles in a Sunday morning gives me plain satisfaction. How walking alone going home from dance practice is fun. How slouching in the sofa while watching re-play of cartoons is bliss.

Yeah.. Those are my worry free days. Where everything is fine. Where everything is complete. Where I don’t worry about too many things.. My younger days. Where I don’t need to worry of what to eat for breakfast, lunch and dinner.. Or what to wear.. When to do my laundry.. How to increase my income.. Or when could I really relax (physically and mentally).

Now, I’m all about: When will I finish my work? When can I get a better income? When could I fulfill all my goals? How can I do any of the things I have to do?

I guess this is growing up. This is reality. The place where I need to figure out how to push through.. How to go from this step to the next. And boy.. isn’t it scary?

But still, my reality is in the Lord. Everything is in His hands. And what He tells us to do is to seek His righteousness.. And all of these things (that we need) shall be added unto us.

Matthew 6:33

New International Version (NIV)

³³ But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.

***

Memory is a way of holding onto the things you love, the things you are, the things you never want to lose.
