Dearest One,

I have been in night clubs. I have done the so-called life. I tried to find happiness in men, in my group of friends, in money, and in everything that comes across my hands. Whenever I felt miserable, I find pleasure in parties and alcohols.

I always felt as if there's something missing. I can never be truly happy with everything I do.

During my academic years, I tried to achieve in class. I tried to enter numerous organizations. I climbed in ranks. I did all things that could make me happy. I even thought revenge can also make me happy.

But where is happiness? Why can't I feel it? Why can't I have it? Why do I still feel empty? Why is there a void in my heart?

~O~O~O~

"Keep me safe, O God, for in you I take refuge.

I said to the LORD, "You are my Lord; apart from you I have no good thing."

As for the saints who are in the land, they are the glorious ones in whom is all my delight.

The sorrows of those will increase who run after other gods. I will not pour out their libations of blood or take up their names on my lips."

Psalm 16:1-4
