A Glimpse of Heaven

-

We can always lose something — that’s the quiet truth of living.
So I want to see everything differently now, through softer eyes.
It was such a gift to spend time with him,
and I’m grateful for some moments we shared.
I’ll let myself relive them sometimes —
not with sadness, but with warmth.

Nothing in this life is ever truly ours to keep.
Everything drifts, everything changes.
So I’ll hold what I have gently,
and love it while it’s here.

Hugging him felt like peace —
and even the memory of it should feel tender.
Maybe that’s what heaven is:
a small, fleeting touch of what’s to come.

I’ll look forward to heaven —
the place where everything is whole again,
where nothing is missing, and love never fades.
This life is only temporary,
a brief and beautiful journey on the way home.
And even though it’s fleeting,
its beauty still matters —
because some moment here
is a whisper of what waits for us there.

Christ-centered marriage

-
I had almost lost faith and believed that perhaps I was done with relationships, being in a partnership, and getting married (lol even though I had only been in one "relationship" that was only 3 months). But then I had an epiphany: the problem with my first relationship was that it wasn't centered on God or led by Christ. Instead, it was guided by us, and when humans make decisions on their own, we often fall short. We let negative thoughts cloud our judgment, and that was ultimately the issue. However, God and Jesus are stronger than our shortcomings. Their guidance brings clarity, peace, and joy that surpass human understanding. When we rely on our own decision-making, selfishness, manipulation, fear, and even biological instincts can get in the way. But when we allow God to lead, everything becomes clearer and more purposeful.

Getting Baptized at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints

The initial reason that attracted me to this church was their guidance to eat meat sparingly. About four years ago, during the pandemic, I watched the documentary What the Health and adopted a low-fat, plant-based diet. Over the past year, I explored other diets like carnivore and keto (even going down the "plants are evil" rabbit hole—haha, good times...), but now I’m back to planning on eating meat sparingly! :) Another reason I’m drawn to this church is the concept of the Celestial Kingdom. It inspires me to be the best version of myself—not just for my own sake, but for God. When I’ve tried self-improvement purely for myself, it often felt shaky, especially when dealing with personal challenges or external opinions. However, striving to be my best for God provides a consistent and unwavering foundation. Unlike relationships with friends or partners, which can change, God’s love is constant, and this motivates me deeply. I also appreciate the fairness in the belief that t...
