So Bro please understand, I'm neither a tool nor a pushover. You are a million times physically stronger than me, but in spirit you are bankrupt. You turned away from the Lord, you drink, you swear with no self-control when playing a simple video game. I respect you vastly and love you more, and I may always be a little brother to you, but I have priorities and problems too.

I lost my earphones.
I always imagined God was speaking to me through the songs that played on shuffle, indeed, it effectively washed away all worry and sin for some time and it through melody and lyrics that I overcame even in a time before I accepted Jesus.
So what does it mean? Why am I to lose the sanctity and escapism of music?
Time to face the music without.

I am deeply concerned for my family... Elder brother, spouting vulgarities 24/7... Mother, scolding colleagues and family 24/7... Father, seems like he smokes in secret... Younger Brother, pampered, ill-disciplined, and turning to the computer 24/7. God help them and use me as a vessel to bring them to Christ.

We have lost a real sense of education. Human curiosity has been reduced to wondering if this is counted for promos. The spirit of learning embellishes school missions but the mission of the school embodies grades. Still, it's the best option for a majority.

The irony that God is the only source of strength in a godless world.
Our old colonial masters have churned a generation of feral butter from sour milk.

The surge of tumblr references - the memes in particular, is a curious thing. Selfish me wouldn't share the joy and jokes, yet the true person will seek beyond the humorous truths to the deep grievances and poetry of an online community made of mishaps and freaks - all of us on earth.

How many times have we heard a cheesy song,
How many times have we read a cliché quote,
How many times have we have we brushed them off, only to realize all your true inner-feelings?
To whom I've never mentioned explicitly but still enjoy your blogs that do not list on the sidebar.
