comparisons of me

is this even the same me i live with nowadays?
"so, the best thing is to enjoy the wait while you're at it. the way i see it, if i have ten years of waiting, i have the option of feeling and acting like those are the worst ten years of my life, or i can choose to make the most of it and, while i'm at it, maintain a positive outlook so that at least when those ten years are over i won't have to look back and think what a stinking waste those ten years were simply because i didn't feel like doing anything but mope."

sometimes thinking less is better cos worrying or harping on about something that's out of your control is just a waste of the precious time you've been given to enjoy yourself until that worry comes.

it's like the longer i live, the more faith, hope and optimism get sucked out of me. i feel kinda sad for me...if that makes any sense. but then again as i read through my writings, i feel encouraged...by my own words. it's as if i'm sandra bullock's character receiving writings from a guy from another time in the movie the lake house. haha.

i also found this, which is weird 'cause this could have very well been written this year:
i hear the word TRUST and FAITH calling out their names. especially faith....what is faith? to hope in something that is already available? to be assured of the things one sees at the present moment? it's hard to swallow initially...especially when the fear of things turning out for the worst looms ahead, but i believe what god's trying to tell me is, with practice, i can eventually learn to trust Him about my future.
