hi. 💭

I miss this song. 😌 Listening to it now feels like stepping back into 2011 all over again. 😊🎶

What do I stand for? Most nights, I don't know anymore.. 🎶🎤

Me everyday.

I don’t know what dangers lie ahead of me, but I know God is always before me, keeping me safe and protecting me from the things I cannot see. 🤍

I remember crying so much because of this song. 😢 When the live version was released ten or eleven years ago, that time I was reading a book whose story matched the lyrics so well. And whenever I read a book, I completely immerse myself in it and it always affects me deeply. It’s like my soul leaves me and slips into the story itself.

Then hearing this song somehow doubled the pain I was feeling, even though I wasn’t personally sad. Am I really that sensitive that even a book or a song can hurt me this much? 🥲😞

Anyway, this song has always carried such an emotional feeling for me. Even long after finishing that book, I still get teary-eyed whenever I hear it. Maybe it’s because we all go through difficult moments in life, and somehow we end up tying our experiences to certain songs. And for me, this song about hope became one of them.

"It's just a spark, but it's enough to keep me going..." 🎶

Thank You, Jesus, for protecting me each day, from both the big and the small things that could harm me. I feel Your divine presence and protection over me always. In moments of danger, You are there. Even in uncomfortable situations, You defend me. Your presence surrounds and protects me.

this was my hype song during my late teen years, and I still really love it 'til this day. 😊 I always do little head bops whenever I listen to it, hehe. 😄 You know that feeling when a song gets you so hyped that you just unconsciously bop your head, like you’re being completely engulfed by the music? 🙂‍↕️

"Keep your feet on the ground, when your head's in the clouds..." 🎶

there are a lot of things I want to do in my free time, like working on my hobbies, learning something new, going out (both for leisure and errands), decluttering my room (although I don’t have that many things), doing chores, going for a walk… and the list goes on... but sometimes, I really just want to sleep whenever I can, especially because I get terrible headaches when I lack sleep.

I really love my hobbies, though, and right now I’m torn between these three:

1. continuing the anime I’ve been watching. (it’s a really good anime, and I honestly want to binge all the available episodes, but I only watch when I have free time, and somehow, whenever I do, there’s always something else I end up doing instead. 😅)

2. reading a book. (my TBR list is quite long, to be honest 😆📚 but there are two books I really want to read, but procrastination just keeps winning, hehe.)

3. working on a new puzzle. (I love jigsaw puzzles! I just finished Starry Night, and I already want to start a new one. I have two waiting to be assembled, and I’m excited to work on them, even if they’re a bit challenging. 🧩)

I can actually do the first two on the go, like I can watch an anime episode or read while commuting or during breaks at work. The third one, though, I can only really do at home.

My right wrist is starting to hurt again. 🥲

I’ve been trying to avoid putting too much strain on it since the pain first started a few months ago. It eased up, not completely though, but enough that I could do simple things like tying my hair without hurting. Now, five months later, the pain is back, and it hurts a lot. 😞
