hope for the best

1 Corinthians 13:1-8a & 13
"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails....And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love." 

Just have to be stronger & have more faith. With compassion, patience, & hope in due time everything will be better. Stand up tall. Head up high. Be happy. Smile. Have confidence that everything will be fine. Even if all appears to fail trust in your heart that love will persevere in everything you do. Learn. Grow. Smile. All you can do at this point to guide is to model, and just hope & pray that in time one will value and reciprocate the same affection. Change takes time. Alvin, if you can be patient with children & babies you should be able to be patient with anything else in this world. 

A world full of anger, frustration, anxiety, grief, depression, pain ... can NEVER foster happiness in life or resolve anything. All it is going to do is beat you when you are already down. Pull yourself up. Smile & just make the best of everything. Sound simple enough right? Easy said than done, but you're going to have to do this for yourself, Alvin. You can no longer let any of these things deprive, control, and restrict you from fostering your own happiness towards life. Understand that we cannot always get what we want and that WE ALL have to work for our happy endings. This is life. Deal with it. Suck it up. Face the realities that fantasies no longer exist in life without true effort, patience, love, and compassion. 

This is truly a struggling journey in my life. Always fighting for the love i need. What can you do. Life is life. you just have to deal with the things that are given to you. Learn. Grow. There is no easy way out of anything in life if you want the very best. You have to work hard for something you want. No matter how much you wish to not work or put full effort in, obtaining what you truly want is hard work, whether you admit it or not. 

One thing I am willing to work hard for is love & anything that brings me a step closer to love. Love is something i know that is a must and essential in my daily life. Walking on this struggling journey in understanding this abstract and yet so essential need in life, is worth all my heart aches, pain, and suffering. i do believe that is the true meaning of love.
