Day (?) - To be honest I cannot recall anymore.

 Hey.

Its been 3 weeks since we took off from social media. Pretty proud of my progress so far! :) 

I've been spending more time learning on YouTube and also, listening to new songs. I am doing my best to finish up my work and focusing on things and people that matter. 

It's Saturday today and I was the emcee for our youth service today. I was panicking throughout the service as I wasn't clear on what was happening and I didn't want to disappoint anyone. Besides the technical team, no one really cheered me on or talked to me, even though they knew that I was an emcee. The person who eventually encouraged me in the end was the most unlikely person and I wasn't even close to them. 

After the service, we had a debrief and had dinner over our Zoom call. We played a game that one of our friends planned out a quiz for everyone to get to know each other. However, I felt a strong sense of hostility and sarcasm throughout the call, still not feeling like I was part of the group. It didn't feel genuine. It felt like people were just talking amongst themselves. I felt sidelined and I couldn't fit in. I guess the desire to be accepted and to gel into the community was really strong but I just couldn't fit in. 

The only saving grace was the people who stayed on the call to the end and chatted. I was thankful that our pastor spent time to talk to us, even though he had things to do. To be very honest, I am on the verge of wanting to leave. I honestly hate it. I need time to think about whether I should still stay in the ministry. I need time to consider if this was truly where I wanted to stay and grow. 

I can't continue in a place whereby people are not genuine and because of their own insecurities, they channel it on other people by laughing amongst themselves. 

I hope I will never grow to become the ones that I do not like. 

I also listened to Jae's livestream on Twitch today. I could really feel his passion to want to see change. I really wished that I could give him a hug. I hope that I get to support people in any way I can. 

You helped me heal, and I really hope you'll get better, soon. 

Love, Rachu.

Dreams

I dream of... Roaming free in a vast, green meadow, Enjoying the embrace of the morning sun, Lying in the grass, just like how they do in the movies Full of joy, full of life. Small dreams, big dreams. They consume my mind They keep my heart racing They make me hunger for the future things to come. To be a bridge of communication between the nations To be the listening ear and warm embrace to those who are hurting To be the one who gives someone a ray of hope, that they are amount to something. To be... someone who makes an impact in another person's world. How can I get there? When will I get there? What can I do to get there? Who can help me get there? They say don't just dream Go, do something about it It is so uncertain, all my insides start to turn In my head, yet so far away. Will I always be here? Can I go where my heart wants to go? Is it even possible to go this far? Will I ever... go the distance? This love for life This love for advent...

10 People I want to thank before Christmas

2019 has been an amazing year of ups and downs. But most importantly, 2019 has been a year of meeting really inspiring and encouraging individuals, who have changed how I view the world and have challenged me to renew my mind and to see things from a different perspective. Its 10 days before Christmas. I figured I should write a post to talk about the 10 people who made a huge impact on my life this year. The list is in no particular order. 1. The Youthful Yoongs, Dr Dave and Sue-Anne I first met Dr David Yoong in his discourse analysis class in 2018. I was awkward throughout and hated his guts for the first nine weeks. But I slowly learned how passionate he is about what he was doing and it inspired me to want to take up discourse analysis for my final research. Fast forward, I am so thankful to have met this wise beyond his years supervisor of mine who not only inspired me to take up discourse analysis for my research, he also in one way or another, challenged me to take m...
