January has been.. Tasteful. I had the time to meet an old friend of mine hehe and it was something I should have done a long time ago. After having lunch, we headed back to my place and somehow we found ourselves, two grown girls, squeezing onto my tiny bed and laughing, talking about the way things were when we were 14. We spoke of chasing our dreams again, about starting businesses together and we thought of names we wanted to be known by. It's funny how one afternoon with the right person can shine so much light into a season.
As the weeks passed, somehow I find myself helping my sister out with a mural at a really cool office- and a man comes up to us and says, "a photo to take back to San Francisco?" It was a jumble of words we couldn't figure out initially but we smiled for the picture and he left. And I thought about how big this world really is. He was taking a picture of people he barely knew, to show to people that we don't even know exist. And I get sappy, a photograph travels to meet more people I could ever.
Last Saturday, buddy and I caught up over dinner and I felt myself unfolding as I spoke. I've come to realise that there are special people and special relationships in our lives that time cannot tarnish. I text him to tell him that he is my constant and he laughs because I never say stuff like that.
I'd like to think that there is something to take back a month at a time. January has shed light on a part of my soul I never knew could feel so much for. I want to make time for people who matter and weed out the ones who don't. To learn to see the good in every soul and keep some hearts close to mine.
'To love all, listen to many and talk to few.'
Next few months will be trying. But I have resolved to bolt my heart to my Father's heart and to bind my wandering feet to stand firm on His promises. I know that only good can birth out of this season. To a magical February, may the light of this month burn bright in darkness.
