Hello there!!
Well this is my first post for this blog that has been open quite a while now... So I just want to thank you for visiting my blog. It used to be called "Bitter-sweet Moments Called Life" but since it is actually about my personal journey (which of course does include bitter moments, sweet moments, and bittersweet moments), it is a journey towards a destination. My destination is to become Eve.
"Who was Eve", you may wonder. Well, according to the Bible Eve is the first woman to live on planet Earth when it was first created. She was a PERFECT woman! Yes, yes, yes!! You heard right! All you guys ever wanted - that was her! And all us girls ever wanted to become - that was her!
Since she was created in a non-sinful world, she was perfect in every sense: physically, emotionally, spiritually, and socially. And that's my aim!! quite a standard, uh?
So, wait, I want to become perfect as she was. What does that mean? two questions arise here:
1. What is perfection?
2. How do we know how she was and how she looked like?
In light with this, we have a big problem here.The first question is highly subjective, and regarding the second question we have no idea/evidence/information of her personality, looks, etc.
So how do we solve this mystery? Well, if we find the answer for the first question we will definitely find the answer for the second question, because we know that in an unfallen world Eve COULD be perfect - there was this posiblity!
As we said earlier, the answer for the first question is highly subjective, but it can become somewhat objective if we are realistic. I personally believe in 'perfection in our own sphere'. What is that? Well, maybe Eve was 6-feet tall, 36'-24'-36' in her measures, maybe had a long wavy hair, pink cheeks, wide eyes, pointy nose, smiley woman, delicate, loving, tender, fun, smart (maybe even a genius!), and who knows what else.
I know I will never reach 6 ft tall, because I have stopped growing already, and am stuck at 5.4''. I know I will never get to 24'' waist, because my rib-cage is a little wider (I could reach to 26'' though! :) ). I also know that although I want my hair to be wavy and shiny, I have a straight hair and no matter what I do to it, it hardly forms any waves. And the list goes on and on.
So how will I reach my objective to become a modern-day Eve? As I said earlier, by becoming perfect in my sphere. By reaching my ultimate standard that I can actually be! How does that translate practically? Well, working out to be in the best shape I can possibly be, taking care of my hair and skin so that is it the best it could be, taking care of my health by eating the right kind of foods, by resting, by drinking a lot of water, by controlling my appetite, etc.
On the social level I can learn to show more love, to be more empathetic, to learn to serve others and help them in their needs, to really have passion for humanity, to have tender words, to learn not to judge, control my anger, etc., etc., etc.
For me that is being perfect - doing my things the best way I possibly can, and that also include playing my guitar the best way I can, learning a language perfectly, developping my mental, spiritual, social and physical abilities to the fullest! For me, being perfect is rejecting mediocrity to the fullest. It is a hard work! But I know that I'll have a satisfactory living, doing my best and giving my best! And that is becoming a modern-day Eve for me :)
The journey is long, a life-time journey even! But let's enjoy it too, let us enjoy the journey as we are transformed into modern-day Adams and Eves! :)
