Small Enough - Mindy Gledhill

God, I know I've been so apart from you these past months, and for that, I am terribly sorry.

Thank you for the slap in the face you gave me today. First person 1 (who still stings) and now this. I know, despite me being not the perfect Catholic daughter You want me to be, I know love me no matter what, and that you want nothing but what's best for me. This hurts, but this slap on the face will only put me back in the right track. I hope that You understand that You've made me human, and that pain is just a part of the human nature. I know You're only making me stronger.. but I wish that I didn't feel so alone. But as always (and with a little rebellion, you know me!), I place my entire life in Your hands. Give me the strength I need to go through this with my head up high, towards whatever path You've chosen for me.

I have no idea what it is it that I have to do in this life. I get more and more confused every single day, but I put all my trust in You. Guide me, for I don't know where I should go from here.

Oh, great God, be small enough to hear me now..
Oh great God, be close enough to feel you now..

Love..

Eat, Pray, Love has been a book that has completely shaken me awake. Unfortunately, the movie made it a cheesy love story when, in reality, the book has so much spirituality involved that now tons of people will never get to read. (Disclaimer: I enjoyed the movie, but it was just another movie.. however the book, in my world, will never be just another book)

Today, I admit it. I love you. And I will continue to love you until I don't anymore, if that day ever comes. I wish you the best, and I want you to be happy.. and every time I think of you, I will send you my love and my good thoughts.

Here are some quotes I absolutely adore. Elizabeth Gilbert is the living proof that only after so much pain we can find our path in life, and walk the journey that was written for us.


"People think a soul mate is your perfect fit, and that's what everyone wants. But a true soul mate is a mirror, the person who shows you everything that is holding you back, the person who brings you to your own attention so you can change your life." (And for this, whether you know it or not, I will be forever thankful)

"To lose balance sometimes for love is part of living a balanced
life." 
(What else can we do but carpe the hell out of the diem? Risk nothing, and gain nothing)


"This is a good sign, having a broken heart. It means we have tried for something. " (My sweet Lord, when I die, there's only one thing you cannot tell me: "M, you haven't tried")

And inside the deepest pain in a broken heart, I can honestly say I am happy. I am happy I tried. I am happy I risked. I am happy I loved.

It is written..
