This phrase has so many meanings.

We use it in the Christian context, that's where I usually always hear it. And yesterday I heard it again in a different way. I heard it through a woman's voice on serving others, those in need. It sounded so bold, so noble. And also very...

I don't know what's the word for it. But it will definitely be counted worthless and not the materialistic life that the majority seeks but it will fulfill emotional need, it's high scoring on the EQ level than the shopping and materialistic level.

It's amazing. I've been to PLMGS for like at least a decade of my little life and I never knew that a little villa existed near my school, like a world of their own. Captured in a house that looks like a villa. It's really awesome though I must tell you.

I've always pass it by but think it's a temple. It's a heaven for the people living in there. It's like a giant house for the people who need it the most. The words she used to describe and talk about them were just so filled with love.

In my course, we do not know how else to call them. The word Old is always associated with the negative. Older sounds a little more acceptable. Elderly is kind of gross too. We call them patients because they are technically like that. But she calls them residents. And she's filled with so much love because she says things like they are at the other end of life. And it's either making their numbered days a happy one or a sad one but mostly all of them enjoy it happily.

She said she's seen beautiful deaths and ugly deaths before. When asked what ugly deaths were, she talked about bloody deaths. I thought it was really nice of her.
I've never known someone with so much heart for the older adults. I really admire her. But she gets very touchy and scary and strict and fierce on violence. But other than that, she's really nice.

I went inside, we went to interview the people there, I was careful, I didn't dare to really talk to everyone but I smiled a lot. I felt sad for the people there. Sort of. Because, I was thinking if I were like them, I think I would kill myself, my life would be no meaning for me.

I got a bit scared of growing old, I already know what's in store for me, how I might die. Death is such a morbid topic but being in this course, sometimes, that's just what people are really waiting for. The next step, the next journey. So it really teaches me to live life to the fullest, the most meaningful while you still can.

Lastly, a song that came into my head when I wrote the title of this entry. Maybe you'll find that it rings a bell?



LYRICS:
REGINA SPEKTOR- THE CALL
It started out as a feeling
Which then grew into a hope
Which then turned into a quiet thought
Which then turned into a quiet word

And then that word grew louder and louder
Till it was a battle cry
I'll come back
When you call me
No need to say goodbye

Just because everything's changing
Doesn't mean it's never been this way before
All you can do is try to know who your friends are
As you head off to the war

Pick a star on the dark horizon
And follow the light
You'll come back when it's over
No need to say goodbye

You'll come back when it's over
No need to say goodbye

Now we're back to the beginning
It's just a feeling and no one knows yet
But just because they can't feel it too
Doesn't mean that you have to forget

Let your memories grow stronger and stronger
Till they're before your eyes
You'll come back
When they call you
No need to say goodbye

You'll come back
When they call you
No need to say goodbye...

HAHAHA! BUT I NEED! BYEEEE! I mean, I'll see you again when I do. :)
