A New Year's Eve Sentiment
a year has passed and all that pain's gone, but the memory of it stays - but not as pain, not anymore, rather, as a lesson - a lasting mark that inspires a new brand of loving - one that is more decisive yet careful, more reasonable but passionate, above all, one that's clearer, truer.

My dear Christmas Wish
To my dear Christmas wish,
Just to be honest, my Christmas was cold...it was dry,
my family kept me warm but what kept me warm more was the very thought of you. The thought that maybe some day, we will be okay - better than how we were before the vacation, better than how you treated me after I've told you I like you...
You are such a very complicated person, someone who would be very hard to read. How can I read you when you're a shut book? How can I tell myself there is absolutely nothing behind your big cover, if I haven't been able to bring it down?
I am hoping though, that once the truth comes out, and it will, that you will be happy, maybe not happy with me, but let me be there, let me be there for you.
But insofar as the present is concerned? One thing I'm sure of - that's I want you by my side, make my winter warm, make my days brighter, bring my true smile back - only you could do that.
If you are indeed reading this, then I'd be glad to consider myself lucky. Lucky basically because we haven't exactly been best of friends the past weeks but at least now you know what my heart's been saying. It was not at all easy to tell that you are my Christmas wish...as a cliche goes, "all I want for Christmas is YOU", well that's not true...'cause all I want for Christmas is us.
:)
Love love.

Love/Lust/Infatuation
these are some things about how to differentiate love from lust and from infatuation:
- Love is when you love the whole person (spirit, heart, mind and body), lust is when you only love part of them, which means that you see only part of the person as having value and that the whole person is not valuable.
- Keep in mind that in most relationships, you're feeling all three (love, infatuation, and lust) all at once, to some degree.
-Remember that jealousy is not a result of love. It is more likely to be a result of infatuation, insecurity or fear of being alone. Are you in love with being in relationships?
- Give it some time. Love takes root slowly and grows with time. Infatuation grows into full bloom almost immediately.
- Keep in mind that "True love is neither physical, nor romantic. True love is an acceptance of all that is, has been, will be and will not be." (Unknown)
-If you're not sure about your feelings or your relationship, take things slowly, introspect. Spend time apart and see how you are feeling while you are away. Do you miss the person? Or are you more attracted to others when you are apart?
- Lust only cares for itself (self love). Lust always focuses on an object to fulfill its desire.
- Lust is part of the material world attempting to satisfy one of the five senses. Lust's sole aim is to satisfy the flesh. Love transcends the material world and is solely focused on spiritual things. Love's sole motive is to bestow affection and compassion upon people and God.
I don't know exactly why I reposted this note from a friend, but I think it's worth the effort reading. But maybe, just maybe, I want to take hold of this because sometimes, when I feel some thing/s towards some person/s, I just don't know how to put it, and how to do about it in time...
It has been a lesson to me to know something before taking it seriously. I hope this lesson serves me well, because I am about to feel love/lust/infatuation for someone I'm certain I want being part of my life - I just don't know how.
