another story unfolded in front me

yet another story unfolded in front of me. actually, i did not want to have anything to do with it. as i would usually say, i'd rather appreciate it from a distance. the more i be with people, the more it makes realize the details and lessons of my own life.

we never really got along very well. i find him very obnoxious at times, especially his political views. he does very irritating jokes that i couldn't really find funny. plus, he even described talking to me as if he was talking to a 27-year-old adult, six years older than his age. we won't talk as much as he would with other people. there are only two things we'd actually talk about, politics and other people.

she's three years older than me, got a good job, and has good sense of humor but can be quite a grouch because that's what her profession calls for. we don't talk much actually but we do get along very well. i know a lot about her life, the same thing goes for her but we never actually confirm these things to each other.

what unfolded in these six months was something beyond crossing cultural communities.

he would talk to me about it quite more often than he would with my kuya. i guess it must have something to do with the points of view and the perspectives i get from the weird people around me. he'd sometimes ask me what i think about what my parents think. i would usually tell him he's concerned with too much details, the very same lines i would hear from God last year as He tells me to let go and go with His flow.

i'd see her worry as i had been last year. i mean, who could blame her for feeling lost and depressed in such a situation. but then, god has a plan. he's not playing game with people's emotions.

it feels weird actually to have a story like unfold in front me, as if the story were telling me something beyond my eyes can see, as if God Himself is talking to me in the complicated situation that He had led me.

ten again, we all have our own worries. But who are we to question what God unfolds in us? If there was something I got from all these, it a form of reaffirmation, of control and at the same time a tinge of hope that God has His own ways and what He is about to do will never be boring. it's an episode that we must all wait with anticipation, with hopes that in His proper time, we will all have our own share in life.
