Healer

Great song of declaration!

You hold my every moment
You calm my raging sea
You walk with me through fire
You heal all my disease

I trust in You
I trust in You

I believe You're my healer
I believe You are all I need
I believe You're my portion
I believe You're more than enough for me
Jesus You're all I need

Nothing is impossible for You
Nothing is impossible
Nothing is impossible for You
You hold my world in Your hands

Losing a part of my good memories

Mum just informed me that the sale of our old house is being finalised. It will be handed over to the buyer on 9th July. Mum also said my siblings will be going to have a last look at the place this weekend. I know it sounds silly, but i feel a sense of loss and nostalgia.

My old place is where I had my best times - my secondary school period. It was easy to do well in school, cca, lifesaving, ballet, piano... there might have been some BGR worries at that point but it was still rather carefree as a whole, perhaps cuz I was young(er). If i had to to so many things now, somehow i think i wouldnt be able to cope. Age is catching up i suppose...? or is life more complex now? or uni too demanding?

I love my old place. It's a good location. Smack right between RI and CHS, I had the best of both worlds. heh. just kidding. seriously speaking, its location is perfect. On good days, it only takes me 15 mins to get home from school by bus. Its close to amenities like swimming pool, shopping mall, MRT, etc.

Most of all, its the memories I associate with that place that brings on the nostalgia. Even my sibilings agree (thats why they are going back for one last look). Its where we grew up. Its where my family had the best times - our golden years. I think if we were to move from our current place, we'd just go without looking back. Our current house, though more pleasant in decor and more spacious, lacks that little extra the previous house had.

One more thing, that "tall man" at home! Im sure my bro remembers it. We often see it wandering around the little family area upstairs. I quite sure he is still there. haha. Goodbye Tall Man.

And Goodbye...
My home
My warm shelter
My comfortable abode

I will have to secretely admire your new look from afar the next time i return.

History

The way in which a human mind differs from a computer is in the way information cannot be erased. Some suggest hypnosis to overcome bad past, some suggest NLP to lessen the impact of bad memories. Although you can alter the way u see your past, you cant change the events.

The body's natural mechanism of coping with awful experiences is putting these memories into an archive, which will not usually surface. When similar events occur later on, it triggers the bad memories in the archives and open emotional floodgates. This nullifies the effort you put in to change the way you see the past. What then? Do we start the healing process all over again? I guess the answer is yes, if you wanna live a life of normality.

I took what's mine by eternal right.
Took your soul out into the night.
It may be over but it won't stop there,
I am here for you if you'd only care.

You touched my heart you touched my soul.
You changed my life and all my goals.
And love is blind and that I knew when
My heart was blinded by you.

I've kissed your lips and held your head.
Shared your dreams and shared your bed.
I know you well,
I know your smell.

I've seen you cry, I've seen you smile.
I've watched you sleeping for a while.
I've been addicted to you.

I am a dreamer but when I wake,
You can't break my spirit - it's my dreams you take.
And as you move on, remember me,
Remember us and all we used to be

Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.

Your way with me

You've got a way to make me smile when it hurts
To make me forget the pain and focus on what's worth
And when it creeps back
You've got a way

You've got a way to make wrong things seem right
Because you've got a way with words
It's also the way you hold me
The way you comfort and adore me

You've got a way to make me believe in myself
You make me let go of my fears
With you around
There's someone to wipe my tears

Though I may cry
Your way will always work
You've got your way with me
The way in which darkness never lurks
