Resolution Picture

I got this a little while ago. I knew right when I received this picture what it meant to me. It was a box, like a small treasure box, with a clear redish glass in the middle on the top, where you'd usually open it. This box was wrapped with chains, rusty chains. The box was rusty itself but the glass looked as if it was newly placed onto the box. There was no key and from time to time, you can hear a beating sound inside of it. It was a heart. The heart was locked up in the box. The message to me was that however hard I try to set it free, it won't be able to. It's like a punishment for me. This might seem like a bad thing, but to be honest with you, it isn't. This box represents God. In a good way. He's going to block all of the distractions from me this year. I know it. He won't let any unnecessary things get in my way. I proclaimed that I will grow to yearn Him more, to focus only on Him this year. The chains represents His protection, His wings, His blood. The box and chains are rusty, because it'll take some time for God and me to clean my life up.

I looked at this message and smiled with tears in my eyes. "uruwashii" I said.

Tears "Namida". It's something else I wanted to talk about. My tears are warm. What does that mean, really? Does it mean I have love in my heart to shed such warm tears? I mean... I understand that perhaps everyone's tears are warm, but sometimes the tears can be filled with hatred. When have you ever cried because you loved something so much? Whether or not you had it in your posession? When I think about the people with illnesses, it makes me cry. Not because I feel bad for them or anything, chigau. It's because I love how they're still living their lives for "right now -- ima wa." Even though they can't go back to their past, either bad or good, they still want to live their lives as best as they can. I'm just saying in general. Of course, there could be ones who aren't like the ones I'm talking about, but it's their decision. All everyone has to do is pray for them and love them like you use to. I think that's the best gift you can give them. Your love, support, and time. Love "ai" that's pure "junsei," not fake "gansaku." Support "joryoku" that even encourages yourself "jibun ni hagemashiteiru." Soshite "and" spending some time "toki" with the person "hito" you care about.

My own view, especially after watching "Ichi Rittoru No Namida" -- One Liter of Tears. This movie talks a lot about human beings "ningen." It gets you thinking, ya know? I really admire people who can face their burdens with a smile"hohoemi." It's hard to do that.

You're probably wondering, "doushite kokoni nihongo?" Well.. Ichi Rittoru No Namida no tame ni "for One Liter of Tears' sake" I'm trying to learn the language. Plus, the movie is japanese so duh! I love the language, people!! x___x

Let's cry together, ok? -- "isshoni nakimashou ne?" -- ♥ Jasmine
