Who am I?
That the Lord of all the earth,
Would care to know my name,
Would care to feel my hurt.

Infatuations? Right or wrong?
"How many men could line up next to me on my wedding day? How many times have I given my heart away in short-term relationships? Will I have anything left to give my husband?"
I think this has thrown me off.
I think a few of you would recognize this quote, it's from 'I kissed dating goodbye' by Joshua Harris. Read this book a few years ago, and this struck me a lot. I used to think crushes or infatuations do not matter personally to me, as long as you don't approach the guy and start all kinds of nonsense then it's good. But later I realized, the answer is no.
Because I find, that for me (not everyone), every time I have a crush, it just makes me feel insecure, self-conscious and simply put, very dumb. This is probably what most people call it 'puppy love'. It happens to almost everyone, yet there must be some way to guard against that. For when a person is feeling unfulfilled, what do they do? Find something that can fulfil them! And most of the time that something is not very good to them.
We have to acknowledge that our minds play a huge part in that, especially something called imagination.
It makes a person fantasize, and is that good?
All I know is that it just leaves me feeling more unsatisfied.
Does that happen to you?
Hmm...
