HMS YEP - VIETNAM 09
Wednesday, September 30, 2009
It's been a long two weeks, and certainly everyday of it was utmost fun. We painted we sweated we got dirty we enduredwe complained we chatted we laughed we smiledwe helped we taught we learnt we befriendedwe ate we played we danced we had fun
But aside from the lessons on happiness and quick thinking, I actually experienced something rather impactful in my life, which I can say, as changed the way I feel and think about myself.
Surely, the people in the YEP team has seen a side of me, no one, not even me, have seen since a decade.
For once, a moment in my life, I was who I am. Or that other side of me many people tend to despise. Not here, not now.
Finally, away from the world's expectation of needing to be matured, I finally put aside my facades and lived the kid within me. Just laughing forever, jumping, being ever excited about everything. I was a kid.
They accepted me, enjoyed me, liked me, and invited me. It feels good to be 'me', it really does.
With this, maybe it isnt that bad to open up. I became more confident about myself. Who knows, one day, I might just be free from the prison I created. Labels: frenz, Me, memories, YEP
Darren Nico Pillai
Not-so-average teen, deep thinker, perfectionist with quirky randomness. Trained in the art of sarcasm and nonsensical logic.
Overcoming the circumstances of the present, and the issues of my past,
striving in self-betterment with a moral balance with the hope of the fulfillment of the destiny to be a light for Christ in His likeness,
spreading the love of God as how He first loved us
==============================================================
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Heal my heart and make it clean
Open up my eyes to the things unseen
Show me how to love like You have loved me
Break my heart for what breaks Yours
Everything I am, for Your kingdom's cause
As I walk from earth into eternity
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Philosophy:
I like to think about life, especially pursuing on the concept of love. Not that lovey dovey romantic kind, but the affections we have for one another
that ties us together,strangers, friends, besties, family, that's the love I wanna know about. Love is the essence of life that ties us together,
love is what we were made for and to be, love is embracing the gift of the relationship with GOD.
