"i know that it'll never gonna last forever,
but i'll keep on trying..."

dear you,

reality hurts, everyone knows. that's what life is, not much can be done but to just deal with it. yes, no one ever told you what life feels or looks like. no one ever told me, either. for life is so full of the expected and the un-expected. one minute you'll be like i-got-it-all and the next minute you'll be like-wise. nothing last forever. nothing. there's a verse in Ecclesiastes that say there is an appointed time for everything.

"A time to give birth and a time to die;
A time to plant and a time to uproot what is planted.
A time to kill and a time to heal;
A time to tear down and a time to build up.
A time to weep and a time to laugh;
A time to mourn and a time to dance.
A time to throw stones and a time to gather stones;
A time to embrace and a time to shun embracing.
A time to search and a time to give up as lost;
A time to keep and a time to throw away.
A time to tear apart and a time to sew together;
A time to be silent and a time to speak.
A time to love and a time to hate;
A time for war and a time for peace."

you may not get what you want now. but somehow, if it's meant for you, it'll come to you, sooner or later. and by then, no one will ever take it away from you. i love the fact that you hold on, rather than letting go. 'cause if i were you, i'll do just the same.

♥,
yours truly.
