Dearest One,

When you told me to be careful on how I spend my whole day, I thought that it might be because I was already a workaholic. Working day and sometimes night with little sleep and rest, I let my health go down. I forgot my leisure time with you. I forgot how it felt to spend time with you.

When I was not working, I turned to my phone. I find myself scrolling on my newsfeed in Facebook. I took several hours spending my time in watching movies. I intended to stay in Twitter for a few minutes but I ended up staying an hour.

And when I talk to you, I ended up sleeping halfway my sentence. I know you felt robbed. You felt jealous of my time with nonsense things. And I felt that when I tried reaching out to you.

I grieved you, didn't I? I didn't have time with you anymore.

So I finally let go of them. I decided to leave my social media habits. At first I find it hard. No online interactions. Limited videos that talked about you.

But this self-restriction suddenly shed some light upon my messy thoughts. I became clear-minded. I know what I wanted to do and what I should prioritize. We finally had some fellowship together.

Thank you. For giving me another chance. For waiting patiently until I realized.

~O~O~O~

"Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise,

making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil.


Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord's will is."


Ephesians 5:15-17
