Reposting from a Jan 26, 2014 Tumblr post

 

I posted the above message in my Tumblr account on Jan 26, 2014.  I also had a vlog that day which I posted here.  This message kind of makes me sad because it's almost like a wish: something that I'm vocalizing into the universe.  A prayer, addressed to my family.  The title uses a phrase from my favourite hymn, which is a song about a soul's yearning.  I remember now that I used to hum this song whenever I felt depressed after using.

I am happy to say that this prayer eventually came true.  I did went out there and found happiness.  I found happiness in being with community.  I found it in being with myself.  I found it in M.  On our wedding day on a sunny June 16th day a few years ago, M and I were surrounded by most of the people that we loved, and who dearly loved us.
