I stood there for two hours waiting for the sky to clear. I heard voices in the corridor so I decided to stay put, here in the place where I cannot be questioned, cannot be moved. I learned to listen to my own voice and play with time like they were just tiny drops of rain falling in my glass window. I learned to sustain my joy with just the things I have. The longings of my soul can wait and I am patient.
The thing with discipline is that you cannot pursue it if you don't have a goal to meet. There should be conviction that what you desire with your heart you can have it. Things may not be perfect now but everything in this life has its own time. So teach yourself to be happy, to feel peace, to feel content, to be excited, to nourish love, go for that dream and stay true to yourself, be kind to yourself.
I learned that the reason why some things turn out the way they did is for us to re-discover some things about ourselves. Why we do the things we normally do but to some they appear extraordinary. Maybe they got it all easy. They did not struggle and so they did not learn what it means to work hard. I glared at her as she asked me the question I found hard to answer. It was indeed nice to receive compliments but I certainly felt a bit undeserving since what I've been doing is what I've been doing almost all my life. She grew up in Sacramento, Korean descent but hardly speak Korean. She's lovely. It's been a long time since I found someone I feel so comfortable with to share tiny bits of myself. We bumped into each other once again in Beer Garden as the lovely Munich summer day awaits us. As I was lazily carrying my heavy grocery bag filled with liquor she screamed my name in the crowd of hungry Germans waiting for their huge-grease-filled pork rib barbecue.
"Yu-Mi! , here! " I called her.
We shared the line to get our dinner. The middle-age German guy with blond hair asked me to come before his queue but I refused. Although I would love to go first I don't want to hear people cursing me even when I don't understand a word they say. The night was young and so did we.
The next day was promising. Although the young couple next door made it clear to me that they do exist a foot a way from mine with all their love sounds all through the night, I managed to sleep tight which left me the following day with wonder if I sound the same given the same predicament. Sometimes you have to see yourself in others in order to find yourself.
The way back was easier. Our Captain for the 2nd time I flown with him managed again- to brought his daughter along this trip. He always deliver a very smooth landing. He's one of the few pilots who makes me feel like flying is not such a bad idea. Dubai in five hours and a gazillion thoughts lurking in my mind.
Like, life is just your own cinema.
You choose how well you will perform and what roles you want to play each day.
Positive or negative we are here to reap what we sow.
You receive what you gave. So give good.
I returned past midnight beaming with hope. The soaring temperature successfully able to make all the trace of make-up in my face disappear. The heat was so intense I start to wonder if the moon started to emit heat as well aside from just its usual beautiful, shining light.
Although the Purser may not be the perfect candidate for Ms. Congeniality I learned to focus my happiness on greater things. The easy flight, the lovely crew, the amazing food and my new perspective in life whenever a gigantic heavy cloud appears in my horizon.
Life is good. And it's getting better.
Sometimes you don't see what others can see. Just when you look deeper inside yourself, you will
be surprised that there's this awesome person who's been there all along just waiting to be known.
Be humble to receive the abundant blessings from Him, hold loosely with love to love forever and be filled with hope that your time is coming. You are born to shine. You deserve this insurmountable source of joy to live for the rest of your life!
Enjoy the weekend everyone!
XOXO
