Only to those people whom we know we can never lose are we truly unkind. Arthur Schnitzler
"The King is enthralled by your beauty;"
Psalm 45:11a
Enthralled = captivated, smitten, fascinated
God alone knows how many people have left my life, due to my constant moving across borders and countries, etc.. etc..
When I left Malaysia as a kid, I left a bunch of good girl friends behind…. Michelle, Ailin, Jennifer.
When I left Singapore as a tween, I left my best friend, Bernadette and my first boyfriend, Jonathan.
When I left Perth as a working adult, I left behind my church, Perth Christian Life Center, my group of girls (Deb, Kristy, Jules, Mara, Yin, Winnie, Jialin, Shar, Bel, Lisa, etc…), my boyfriend, Casey and everything I loved.
Do not be so much moving of friends even get me started on people who moved out of my life to other places… I thought that starting over in Malaysia, there wouldn’t anymore.. but a bomb was dropped on me this morning.
I was just totally flummoxed. NoOooOO….just when I have adjusted to normalcy…. the thought of someone important in my life moving physically out of it.. just causes me to go ‘ShiteEE!!!’ (pardon my lingo)
