Contented with little, yet wishing for more

 “It is right to be contented with what we have, never with what we are. “ - James Mackintosh

My name is Lourgie, I am an ordinary girl who always wants to travel around, find out a lot of things on my own and of course a kind of childish lady who wants to love and to be loved. I am the eldest daughter of Danny and Gina. I have a loving, caring and sweet sister named Diane. My life with them is simply amazing. They are my inspiration. Whenever I get the least bit uneasy, I think of them. I value them in my life and I know my life and others lives would be less complete without them in it. I love you mommy, daddy and Diane.

My life started to begin when I met my best friend Jha. She is still young, and yet so powerful with her thoughts, actions, and words that’s why we became friends. I started to learn more about life because of her and feel like I was coming out of my shell. I opened my heart and mind to life, I stopped being insecure, stopped being shy and become more confident. She taught me a whole lot. My world and life as I know it turned into something about . . .  Happiness, contentment and compassion. She always reminds me that our life is completely full of trials and complicated if we don’t know how to handle things the way it should be. She always tells me that staying here is not as easy as standing and breathing. Breathe to live! And she is right, dealing with different kind of people with their own different color, character, interest and thought is one of the hardest things to make. With them, my friends, my life is not that complicated; and then Lourgie’s life became more colorful because of you. Thanks Jha and Twinkle.

I need to continue my journey like yesterday, today, tomorrow and the following day. As I am making the new steps, another voyage in my life, I found myself incomplete. Having my family and friends by my side, this life is not yet whole. I feel like something is missing. I’m not yet completed the journey without the missing piece. As I go further, I met Vince. We started as strangers. Days passed by, we became friends and started to look for something special, something exceptional between me and him. He is a kind of man who always wants to be loved (of course everyone wants). He can’t hide all the sadness in his eyes because of his past and I want to be the smile on his face. I learned a lot of things from him and I know that he learned from me too. I fell in love with him and everything about me became more beautiful and wonderful. Without him everything would be nothing, I found my other half and now . . . I am complete. J. He came into my life and gave it meaning. Vince, every moment I spent with you is like a beautiful dream come true, my favorite place to be is inside of your hugs where it's warm and loving. Thanks for always being there for me. I need you, I love you.

I thank God for everything. Thanks God for everything that you have done.

Mommy, Daddy and Diane , Thanks for loving me.

Jha and Twinkle, Thanks for your trust.

Vince, thanks for always making me smile.

Thanks Ate Raquel and Roxanne for always being there.
