The Floating Red Balloon: Why are you stuck in love? (By Wam Rellora)

I admit. I fell in love once. I fell in love with him. It doesn’t matter if it took me 3 years to finally say this to myself, and out loud. What matters is I’m finally at this stage. Acceptance. If your major is medical related, or a person who read a lot online, you probably know who Elisabeth Kubler-Ross is. If you don’t, perhaps you’ve heard the 5 Stages of Loss and Grief? Most people I know call it the grieving process. Thanks to Ms. Kubler-Ross we now have a name for this process. The acronym is DABDA, a.k.a. Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression and Acceptance. Why am I telling you this? You know I don’t really know. I just feel like I should write about it. I’m not sure if I have the same experience as other people out there, but I know that there’s somebody out there who can somehow relate. Am I happy? I can’t really tell…but I’m also not very sad. Well, if you think one of the outlet of sadness is crying, then perhaps I’m sad. If you think some happiness involves cryi...

What Causes Depression? (Re-blog)

This is something I got from Seth Adam Smith's blog. ..."depression is sometimes what we experience as we are giving up our "old self." “Since mentally healthy human beings must grow, and since giving up or loss of the old self is an integral part of the process of mental and spiritual growth, depression is a normal and basically healthy phenomenon. It becomes abnormal or unhealthy only when something interferes with the giving-up process, with the result that the depression is prolonged and cannot be resolved by completion of the process.” (Wisdom from The Road Less Traveled, 2001)."...

I may not want to get married...

I don’t know what my real purpose is now. All my life I was just so focused to making it to the field and become a missionary myself. I was happy enough when i found out that I can finally go on a mission. I felt quite fulfilled during my mission, I even want to die there because that is my ultimate goal in life that time. But then, I went home, and now…I still live. I don’t know my purpose anymore. I did my best dated and after a lot of heartaches, I am still not fulfilling our, supposedly, ultimate purpose in life. To be married for time and eternity and bear Heavenly Father’s children. I’ve been into that position where I’m struggling…looking forward to get married and gotten so excited about it. I was almost there, almost got married for what…. 3? 4 times? But everything seems to just didn’t work out. I don’t know if Heavenly father’s purpose for me is to get married in this mortal existence or to get married in the millennium. I really don’t know. I get affected so much and im m...

20 Marriage Tips Everyone Needs to Know " TAKE FULL ACCOUNTABILITY for your own emotions: It’s not your wife’s job to make you happy, and she CAN’T make you sad. You are responsible for finding your own happiness, and through that your joy will spill over into your relationship and your love." "Allow your woman to JUST BE. When she’s sad or upset, it’s not your job to fix it, it’s your job to HOLD HER and let her know it’s ok. Let her know that you hear her, and that she’s important and that you are that pillar on which she can always lean. The feminine spirit is about change and emotion and like a storm her emotions will roll in and out, and as you remain strong and unjudging she will trust you and open her soul to you… DON’T RUN-AWAY WHEN SHE’S UPSET. Stand present and strong and let her know you aren’t going anywhere. Listen to what she is really saying behind the words and emotion." Read the full article here.

On Comparing and Listening

Your story is different from mine. Her story is different from mine. If we really care, we would listen intently. Most people just need someone to make them feel that they are loved and cared for. We prefer to be with someone who truly understands or someone who's doing her best to understand. We prefer that, sometimes unknowingly, than those who acts like they're listening so they can speak their mind and compare. It's good to have an intention to help someone gain faith, if he really needs it. But we can never induce faith. We can never force someone to have faith. Sometimes we may only need to listen to ourselves if we are truly acting through the guidance of the spirit or if we are only being self righteous. Posted via Blogaway Posted via Blogaway
