If growing up means living alone with no parents to warn you it’s a disaster before it actually happens, thinking I can live happily with a high paying job, dreaming of a grandeur living because my so-called friends are aiming for it, visualizing a perfect partner because it’s all that matters and facing unknown struggles in this cruel and insane world, then I’d rather be a child again who worry less about the future, who thinks there are no enemies but only good friends, who is blissful even without nothing and who prays and trusts Jesus because nothing else is more important but Him.

I can't make this on my own.

I need you, I need you now my Lord.
