Other than being my second "Things I Miss" post, this is also the song I wanted to share with fellow CF-ers during Rhythms of My Life. But upon seeing the list of songs of those who signed up, I chickened out, deciding I better not embarrass myself and worried if this song selection would be misinterpreted.
Lyrics wise it doesn't have any significance to me, its the whole song and what a song can do that makes it matter so much. We all know how a song can miraculously bring us back to the time we first heard it or maybe when it was looping in your playlist. This was my life's "soundtrack" back when I was in my last semester of Foundation year. It was then I had the time of my life being a new believer and enjoying the ultimate student life. It is also during this time that I learnt how and why we have to run the extra mile for our family of believers. And to me, running the extra mile is one way we encourage one another in our journey with God. And every single time I listen to this song or when this song is played, not just am I reminded of the times I sing this for fun in the car, I remember the time when there was just so much "energy" to do it all. I am reminded of the kindness that people have shown me and how one simple act of kindness can go a very long way. I am pretty sure that all of us have a song somewhere in us that reminds us of a certain time, good or bad. And this one song, could be the most random of songs. And that would probably be my story. So what do I miss actually, since this is after all a "things I miss" post. Long story short,I miss the time, the whole time when this was my "soundtrack"...
I saved this photo from Tumblr when I first saw it almost 2 years ago, was more into the pretty calligraphy than what the quote meant. Of course, even then when I read it, it made perfect sense just that what was written was far from my worries. I still trust that they wanna stay, and the explanation I always give myself is "people can be really unconscious of all these at times".
Undeniably I have been pretty MIA this semester and to give myself a little credit(is that even the right word.??!?!), I have been more busy than ever. Previous semester was my best so far, I was lunch planner etc, I was a social butterfly. But this semester, I just didn't have the time to text 5 - 6 names for every lunch or dinner that there is. I go out and run errands with whoever that is conveniently with me at the time things occur. With that said, my "encounters" with certain people just never happened for this semester if not less. Guess I should just force myself to find time. FIND. TIME. I know I meant every word when I let all my guard down and said I will mend broken relationships, but you also know right that these things takes two hands to clap.? Probably with this I can save myself some heartache every time I see those "oh shit, we forgot bout her" look when we run into each other.
