I skipped a year, but, no matter, here goes. [A Buzzfeed Video Challenge] Let your songlist play randomly. Record the first 7 songs you hear. Here's mine: 1. Opening song as you wake up lisa - Will (A reminder of university days where one is a wandering soul, unsure of the future.) 2. On your way to school or work June - Pride of Tomorrow (What a light-hearted and optimistic song for D-Grayman. I truly hope it's not simply false hope for the exorcists.) 3. Hanging out with your friends Sayuri - Mikazuki (What a sad song. :'( ) 4. When you're around your crush Fiction Junction featuring YUUKA - Akatsuki no Kuruma (Slow burn.) 5.

In order to have the freedom of choice, free moral beings have to exist. We do not have all the information in contrast to God, therefore we are not qualifi...

Thank you for the much-needed gift, dear sis. I must admit that for most of my life, I have had to suppress my emotions because they were negative and non-beneficial to the people around me and I felt guilty for feeling those things. Every time I see the way my parents treat each other, my wounds reopen and I feel grief all the time that I rarely ever felt hope or happiness. What I have learnt so far: It is natural to feel emotions because they flow from the heart. These emotions can be directed to feel rightly by recalibrating our hearts to value things rightly.
