Wishes of Mine


Books, Movies, Fairytales, Fantasy, Fiction: Wishes of mine

I like fantasy, fiction, and fairy tales. I know I’m not a child anymore but there is something inside me, something that touches my heart when I read or watch things I cannot see in the reality of the world. I want books and movies not to end. I want to believe that they actually exist. I want to go inside the movie or a book but when the reality struck me that they are like what they call them, fantasy, fiction, made-up stories. Stories! Merely stories, I nearly cry. T.T


Why can’t they be true? Why can’t I be a character in a book? It doesn’t matter if I have two cruel step sisters and a stepmother, as long as pumpkins can be carriages, as long as fairy god mother exist too. It doesn’t matter if I kiss a frog, as long as He will be a prince after I do so. It doesn’t matter if I have tail, gills and fins as long as I can breathe underwater and live as a princess. It doesn’t matter if I sleep hundreds of years as long as a brave prince will save and kiss me. It doesn’t matter if Voldemort comes back, as long as I can fly a broom, I can cast a patronus charm and I’m studying in a school of magic where all my fantasies can be fed. I know these things can’t be true. They are my wishes. Wishes that even a star can’t give. Worse, even my dreams can’t.

So what do I do? Even if I fall in love right now I can’t be Cinderella because there’s no Fairy god mother there to help me dress up. Even if I jump off a building there will be no flying carpet to give me a ride. I hate to think about that they are just books, that they are just fairy tales, product of someone else’s brilliant mind. Do you know how I feel? If you love reading books, maybe you do, but if you don’t you’ll never understand.


Me too, I don’t understand myself why am I so attached with this kind of stuff. They say it’s an escape from reality. Yes that’s true. When I read, I don’t remember all my school works, how I need to make my chores done, how dangerous this world can be and how many people hate me right now. Just like in the books, I want to think I’m a princess. I want to think that a handsome, kind prince is head over heels in love with me. I want to think that I live in a castle and my parents are the King and the Queen. And the best here is, even if a bad witch exists, in the end we will all live happily ever after. In the world, there’s no such thing as happy ending. Life goes on. And as it goes on, more struggles, more trials, and more hardships are to come. If this world is like that? You would want to be inside too right? 

Alright. Thank God, He exist. Because of Him, There is still hope inside me that someday, I’m going to see a castle greatest of all. That someday, everyone will be happy and happy ever after really happens. Thank God, all my wishes will turn to prayers and just like wishes it will all be granted.

Loving your Enemy

Matthew 5:43-44 43 “You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy. 44 But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you. The first step to love our enemies is to pray for them. Jesus said, ‘pray for those who persecute you.’ If we pray for our enemies, something mysterious happens inside us. It is like pouring icy cold water to your sizzling emotions. When we continue to pray goodness for our enemies everyday, one day you’ll realize that your anger has gone. And once we have removed our anger, we can start doing good things for them such as: Forgiving and forgetting about their sins against us. Forgiveness is an act of the will of the heart. And Christian forgiveness means that when we forgive, we also forget. Love keeps no record of wrongs. Reaching out to them. We do not just forgive our enemies, we also take steps to be closer to them. Real forgiveness demands restoration of relationship. Just like how Go...

There is no Fear in the Light

Psalms 27:1 The Lord is my light and my salvation— whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life— of whom shall I be afraid? Fear is darkness . And there is only one solution to darkness, it is LIGHT. There can only be darkness when there is an absence of light. Same with our fears, we can overcome all of it using the liberating light of God. The Lord is our light and our salvation, whom shall we fear? Fear is controlled by our doubts but our Faith controls certainty. Fear sees darkness, while faith sees light. While fear sees wickedness, faith sees the goodness of the Lord. Nothing and no one can stop the light of God. So whenever we have the light of God, there can never be a shadow of darkness in our lives.   Jesus said, "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” (John 8:12) If we obey His commandments, we follow His examples and...

Godly Silence

Psalm 46:10 BE STILL AND KNOW THAT I AM GOD. IMPORTANCE OF SILENCE In Psalms, God instructs us to be silent and to stop or pause to see how He works. It is important that we learn when to pause, and start listening to God. Because in Silence, God speaks to us. Why do we have to be silent? In Silence, we feel God’s presence. We hear God’s voice. We cannot hear the voice of the Spirit if we let the noise of this world and our own mind keep on going. Especially in times of troubles, what we need the most is to be silent, pray and talk to God and we’ll feel better and at peace with Him. In Silence, we unite with nature, we refresh our soul and we grow. See the trees, the flowers, the stars and the moon, see how they move in silence. They move beautifully. In silence we can also move beautifully and gracefully, carefully guided by the Holy Spirit. In silence, we see what God can do. We don’t just feel Him, we see how great His works are. God moves in the most unexpe...
