Ode to an Angel

You’re a cynic. I said it to you outright. You believed in all good things once upon a time, but somehow over time you’ve let go of trusting the positive side of life and opted for reverse psychology; that when you expect the worst in life, then you’ll not expect too much, hurt too much, or feel like a failure too much. And that seems okay for a time if you intend to use a defense mechanism to go through life but the more I get to know you, the more I want you to do better than that. Life is beautiful, you just have to look at it in a different light.

We’re weirdly the same in many things, our passion for books, movies, t.v. series, food, sweets, ICE CREAM and we’re also both insomniacs. We are dreamers and we dream big. We are fashion addicts and we both love shoes. We’re linked and we were destined to meet. You know why I think that? Because I strongly believe you need an angel. I’m not saying that I look like an angel, but I’m doing THE part.

Recently, we got to read our journals aloud to each other and that’s when I proved that you really feel alone and empty most of the time. That’s when I wasn’t able to resist from reading mine out loud and told you how I get by everyday with a smile, because I am driven by love. I even joked that you should be writing things like this, “Today I woke up with a huge smile in my face thinking that today’s going to be a beautiful day, while the sunlight is peaking through the blinds”. We laughed a lot about it, but I really hoped in my heart that you will utter these same words soon.

Life is tough. That is a fact. We are so blessed to be in the place we are in right now. We have our career, our own money, you have A GREAT SELECTION OF MAKE-UP. Haha, I can’t help but include that one. But seriously, we have a great life, inspite of the ups and downs we experience, even besides the fact that we have family issues.

I want to inspire you more. Push you more and even scold you when you need it, just so that you’ll realize that you don’t need to try so hard to please others. Yes, it matters when the people who’s dragging you down are the people you really care about, but as I’ve told you, “Don’t hate the person, Hate what he did” and that, “Problems are constant, but how you respond to it is what really matters”. It’s also good to think about what others keep on telling about you, though some are targeted as insults or criticisms, you still have to evaluate if some are true in some way so that you’ll improve as a person. Remember you were cut out to be:

A FIGHTER. A WINNER.
PLAY THE PART ALWAYS.

You said that when you met me it stirred a hunger for God. I thought that that’s the best thing I could ever possibly give you. I love you friend and I want you to be reminded that our religion won’t save us and at the end it’s going to be our relationship with God that will count and nothing else. I pray to God that you’ll come out of these problems you are facing shining and smiling. Do you know why you were called “ANGEL” in the first place? So you can bring light to anyone that will come your way.
