chicken soup for the soul

there used to be a bestselling book with that title.
a far cry from today's motivational or success coaching books.

chicken soup was simple and rather than altering our mind, it nourishes our soul.

such was my conversation with someone I could call a 'good friend' tonight.
maybe I have been too proud to admit that I need such a conversation.
to admit that I have been fooling myself and I need some trashing. well.. some good trashing from a true friend.

i almost missed out this meeting,
and am glad i didn't.
God does have everything under his control.

the talk affirmed so many things I have been afraid to admit.
aren't you glad for such a friend?
in my friend's words, I need someone who is willing to break into the walls I build up in order to find the true me.
in my words, that would be the true me, along with all my vulnerabilities and stupidity.

to me a true friend is not just someone who is there to support, but that person is there to do the dirty job of speaking the truth and risk upsetting me too when it's needed.

and to certain extent, I find such friends too among our Blessed family members. thank you :)
i do need you, folks.

si mahasiswa NTU yg bunuh diri itu denger2 namanya david. sigh.. mgkn final year presssure was too much to him. jadi inget masa2 kerjain final year project, tinggal 3 bulan dan gua maseh blank. untung ngga masuk berita ky dia. life is a funny thing. well since there is a chance that this may not be a simple suicide, lets not assume so. maybe there's a truth behind this. duh.. jd inget kalo di conan trus dia bilank, "ini bukan bunuh diri.. ini adalah kasus pembunuhan!" jadi serasa mao jadi detektip -_-

Father

I am reading the book "Wild at Heart". One of the most striking points that the author made was that of how many, if not almost all, men are most severely wounded by their own father. You would have thought that your dad will be the one who believes in you when everyone else is doubting you. You expect him to do so. Coz when he does, you know that it ain't matter even if the rest are against you. So when it turns out that he is siding with those who doubt you. It hurts the most. It kills off your hope. It strips you off your courage and belief to be a real man. Because the man who is suppose to show you how to be a real man, the one whose approval matters the most.. does not side with you. He loves you.. yes. But a father's role is not simply to love and nurture. He is more than just that. He is your assurance, stronghold, strength. He leads you into adventure, he fights with you side by side, he shows you how to rescue a beauty. When your father of flesh and blood ca...
