Waiting on the One

This is a letter and story to the person who not only defined what love is but also what God's love looks like in everyday life. 


                        Dear ____,
                                            
                      You are different. Just like every person is different but you are truly unlike any guy that I have crushed on. During sophomore year I chased and chased after people who weren't ever going to appreciate me and accept me the way I wanted them to. It was heartbreak after heartbreak as well as rejection after rejection. You would think that I would learn after the three heartbreaks in one month. What I realized was that I was chasing after love that I wanted to distract me from everything else that was going on in my life. When I met you after all that heartbreak I was truly surprised by you! I have said this a billion times and I am saying it again. I truly never expected you to fall for me. Moreover, while I did learn that you were Christian and through our conversations, it was really clear what kind of person you were. You showed me what true love is and God revealed you to me in many ways. It seems like he was giving me a glimpse of what love should be like and that I can trust in God! He has plans for me that are beyond what I want. God knows exactly what I want and I am going to do my best to wait on my possible future significant other. You helped me through hard times and taught me about the hard times. How God is always working and to trust in him, especially in tough times. I am grateful to you. Always have been since the day I met you. Even though we never got to go further than just being good friends. I hope that we both continue to grow more like Christ every day! 


                       Probably the biggest lesson that I learned through all of this is that the way that God loves is the way we should all love! That his love never fails and he sees you through every situation.




                                                                                                    Sincerely,
                                                                                                                        Naomi Yeo

As The Days Go By

                     As the days go by sometimes it's easier to get through and others I end up seeing you at school or thinking of you someway or somehow. And let me just say if I could make the choice I would want to go back in time and wish I never interacted with you because I realized this emotional attachment I have with you is just an inconvenience to me. It is not like I am even trying to think about you it just happens out of the blue and than it makes me sad.                I was walking to the commons and you ran into me and said, "sorry" because you did not realize it was me but if you did than you would have sprinted away like you always have. So here I am kinda wishing I could start over and wishing we were just strangers because the feeling of being someone you do not ever want to speak to again it sucks. Yes I am sorry for wronging you in a way I do not know...

The Past Half-Year

                  The Past Half-Year      I really want to write about my situation because one day I can look back and be proud of myself for where I am right now. Here are a few sentences I wrote that I can elaborate on. “An injection that doesn’t help the hurt. Words that won’t go away. A different heartbreak that hurts unlike any other. Love that is hard to see. Healing that can happen now. Hiding behind a wall of hurt and smiling for the crowd.”      In these six sentences, it basically summarizes the past half-year of my life. The first sentence states , “ An injection that doesn’t help the hurt. ” For the past few months, I got to a point where I was feeling numb and even something so painful in the moment that is supposed to make you feel better didn’t feel better. Even though I believed that God has a plan for me and is holding my hand. Every day got harder and harder to deal with as they went by. At som...

Friendships In Life

-
                                       Whenever you make friends I think the last thing we want to think about is the possibility of walking out of lives. It's been hard for me to accept that fact that some people in our lives are only here for a season. There was this friend that I made that was unique like every friendship I have.But this one in particular stopped me in my tracks and maybe its because of how different this friend was from me. The way we live our lives and view the world are completely different. He views the world from a analytical and logical perspective where I look through the world through empathy and feelings.This experience was truly transformative for me because it provided a fresh perspective that I had never considered before. I quickly developed a deep appreciation for our friendship and the valuable insights it brought into my life. ...
