Eleven Minutes

This novel by Paulo Coelho is kind of graphic for me - almost like pornographic, (well it's about a prostitute) like the other one - Veronika Decides to Die, or perhaps the sex theme is on all other novels by him except for the Alchemist!I like the simplicity and practicality of his books, i thought ,when i read the Alchemist,but it changed when i read the last two.In the 3 books I read so far,the protagonist is always searching for something.Now in Eleven Minutes i came across "I was unfaithful and so were they, just like any other normal couple" this is Ralf's line in the novel.I somewhat get the idea why many people are so afraid to get into serious relationships and just settle for games.I see it in a lot of people i know and work with in the office, at school...I'm glad I can cherish a pure relationship with my boyfriend-turned-bestfriend-but-boyfriend-still.Perfect love drives out all fears.1 John 4:18

I'm just grateful that even if I waited for sooo long, duh , it's worth the wait. God have perfect plans!
