Two - A Peaceful Reading - Rant



      A peaceful reading, when I sit on my brown sheeted bunk bed reading a random novel I bought for a book sale - a random one I didn't particularly have on my reading list. A peaceful reading I must say, as this book doesn't have much content but is still a sweet distraction. Peaceful, I must surely tell because the only thing that surrounds me is silence - except for the rhythmic sound regarding the speed of the fan. (Oh, not very rhythmic actually. The fan turns on and then turns off - the power cuts here are too frequent.)




The truth about Melody Brownie - Lisa Jewell





      A peaceful reading, as I hear sparrows by the window chirp adding music to my reading. The book is getting boring, it does get dragging for someone too used to thrillers but it is still a peaceful moment. It's in these loveless moments that I see the beauty of stillness - of how quiet things can actually be, as I, on the other hand, keep shifting from self harming tendencies to self loving compulsions. It's in these moments that I start to understand and embrace parts of me that aren't me. How peaceful are moments like these, how peaceful a reading indeed.

About the Hillsong Peace Music Video - Rant

On the 2 nd of March 2018, Hillsong Young and Free released their first music video  that spoke of the issue of mental health which clearly wasn’t the type of video you would expect to see on a Christian Music channel. While I found the song to be extremely soothing, with the hate and false alarms being triggered around the video being dark, cultic (which I heard a little too much) or displaying creepy ghosts and bloody rain (laugh, if you like) I thought I’d break down portions of the video and explain it because oddly enough I’ve seen too many response videos and read too many articles and comments of people over-analysing the symbols on the video instead of receiving the message of God’s peace especially for those who struggle with anxiety on a mental health level. “I think for a really long time I didn’t understand what anxiety is. When I look back at my whole life I feel like I can see traces of this for as long as I can remember but it wasn’t diagnosed until I ...

My Journey Exploring the Theory of Evolution

  (Prologue) What could be my stance on evolution? This was something I repeatedly wanted to address but I was usually unsure if it would find relevance on my blog. Firstly, because I’m not a theologian. And secondly because I just thought most people were way past that. For some reason I assumed this was not an argument among Christians anymore (wow, I know, my ignorance) and we’ve moved onto weightier issues. However, that is really not the case. I have seen people both within and outside the scientific community that think evolution is some sort of a tale or a conspiracy theory, sometimes even having “scientific” theories of their disapproval of the same. So here it goes!   During my days in school, I, like every other child, thought that evolution was simply a theory supported by loosely based facts and wasn’t something I should be too bothered about as a good Christian kid. I genuinely believed that Darwin and the rest of the evolutionists only wanted to have a go...

PEACEFUL

  Let my love for you be peaceful. I do not want it to shatter your glass ceilings or roar oceans worth of might. I want it to knock you, peacefully. Almost like you wanted it.  I do not want it to brush against your cold, numb fingers. No. I will stay away. I have better things to do. But I want it to yearn for me. So everytime we meet, I will stir in you something that will look forward for me. And you will wait for them - those encounters- one heartbeat after another.  You will wait for them as you slowly unveil your stone heart and show me it was the stone-coloured sky. And your clouds were full and waiting to pour. But truly, they were waiting for me all along. And so I let them weep. They bursted open and drenched both you and I.  I found a shelter for both of us so you wouldn't fall sick. I made sure you ate so we wouldn't tire ourselves. I kept you safe. I kept you warm. And out of you came everything that was once dormant. I told you, my love for you would b...
