On love and life.

I'm waiting. I'm waiting for God's yes to my unanswered prayers.

But recent events and conversations made me realize that maybe, all this time, I didn't really know what I was asking for.

A few years ago, there was this man who seemed to come straight from my wishful illusions, right into my monotonous life. And at that moment it felt so much to me like the stars have aligned. He was everything I prayed for. 

For quite a while, I made myself believe that he was the right person; it just wasn't the right time. It wasn't until lately--well, this afternoon, to be honest--that I understood why God didn't make it happen. Yes, he might have been everything I wanted, but he isn't what I need. He isn't the one God has set apart just for me.

So patiently, I'll keep waiting for that yes. I won't settle for anything less. :)
