I Wish I Were Her

I Wish I Were Her
 
I wish I was only three months older to tell the current me
that everything now happening was all meant to be.
To wipe her tears and give her long hugs,
After all, my love is the best love.

Everything I'm going through is only for a time
That twisting at the bottom of my stomach
All the blank stares
The tight contracting in my throat won't always be there.

Three months older me is happy
And she laughs about today
She tells the story with tears in her eyes
Tearing up from laughter, and then she will say
"That day I lost my laptop charger, I was so distraught
but look at this whole new laptop that I just bought."

About the Poem
That's all I wrote that night it could be better but I penned it in just 10 minutes. Before I started writing I was feeling terrible because a lot had happened the day before, so my sadness was at the peak because of something you might think is so small.
It was through writing down my feelings that I realized that what I was worrying about was not worth it. Also, the fact that it even made me write also showed how much good it was instead of bad because I really love writing and have not done so in a while.
For everyone reading this I want to encourage you not to suppress your feeling, you might have heard "don't sweat the small stuff" but I'm encouraging you to let it all out, because all those "small stuff" add up. The results of you letting out your emotion and letting yourself feel and then heal, will be amazing!

PS
I found my laptop charger at the exact place I left it, three days after.

Christianity and Social Networks

On social media, people generally tend to speak of Christianity in a negative light. I've seen persons, for example, a feminist on Twitter, attack Christianity for supporting unequal treatment of the sexes when that is not so. They use the Bible to try and prove their points when the truth is most of these persons when they read the Bible only pick out a few verses and call it a day. They do not study the word of God or go to Bible studies so they can understand God's word the way he intend it to be, neither do they pray for God's assistance in interpreting his word. And why should they? They are not Christians. These people want to disregard and ridicule the word of God and Christianity in general. They use the word of God as a means to an end, which is strengthening their points and invalidating Christianity. We live in a world where people find it easy to glorify sin. Everyone's talking about the music or books that encourages us to make money so we can 'stunt ...
