wonderment

This is my favourite-st song on Corrinne May’s debut album because I identify EXACTLY with what she’s talking about. I hate to tell you this, but when I heard this song for the first time, my eyes weren’t exactly the driest around.

I believe we go crazy over that someone because we’ve found the perfect person! Not perfect perfect, but perfect because deep down inside of us we know we what we need and when that person comes along and you catch a glimpse of the soul that lives inside him/her, you just know.

Sometimes you don’t know straightaway, in fact, you may need to take a while to know for sure. However, no matter how much time you take to know, each time you see that person, you begin to find something of value in that person’s being.

Of course, you’ll look around and see other people with even greater “worth”, but the one you’re watching out for will stick around. If he/she walks out of your life, perhaps he/she wasn’t the one. Or maybe God will lead you on a merry-go-round for a little while, but eventually, you’ll realise that you’ve fallen in love with that soul who’s connected with you in a most amazing way.

Humans don’t need someone who’s perfect, someone who’s “too ideal to be true”. Girls for that matter don’t want someone who acts overly macho, instead what we long for is someone to just be REAL.

My friend, as you read this, are you walking with one who’s soul you’re crazy about? Don’t shortchange yourself by thinking that you could look over certain important values because this person is “more stable”, “more mature”, “has a great job that will climb the ranks”, “loves you more than he/she loves himself/herself”, etc … (add on the list, will you?)

I believe with all my heart that God gave us a mind to think, but He also gave us a heart to feel. Sometimes, we may find ourselves being “less than crazy” over the person we’ve chosen, but if at the beginning, we found something to treasure in the other person, go back to that thing.

REMEMBER why you loved this person in the first place.
GO BACK and find it, even if it means setting aside your ego to look for it.
ENJOY commitment. Ironically, it’s the thing that frees you.
