We all need a shift in perspective from time to time,
The world is selfish because humans are flawed,
And because of that,
we often take even the simplest of pleasures for granted.
When is enough truly enough?

When you complained that the food is not tasty enough ,
Remember there are kids begging for leftover just to stay alive.

When you complained the sun is too hot,
Remember there are people who can't afford clothes to keep them warm.

When you complained the job is hard,
Remember there are people who sacrified their life for the job.

When everything turns out wrong for you in life,
Remember that you are still alive.

You might not be able to change the world's perspective  at a day.
But we might be able to do that one person at a time.

It all starts from you.

Before you think that nobody loves you,

Remember that,
Someone somewhere sometime
has secretly cried for you,
prayed for you ,
and sacrified for you.
I'm an atheist tho

She ask me why can't you sleep ?

It's hard to sleep when your heart is at war with your mind

I hope I can be someone who makes you look forward to waking up each morning ,
Someone who makes you fall in love with the world,
Someone who makes you see the difference in man,


But most importantly,
Someone who makes you fall in love with yourself.

I was just a tiny part of your big beautiful story.

You can forget me and continue your journey.

I don't know what's killing me ,
The guilt of loving you,
Or the pride of leaving you.

Some say it painful to wait for someone
Some say it's painful to forget someone
But the worst pain come when you don't know whether to wait or to forget

If you don't heal what hurt you,
You will bleed on people who didn't cut you.

I wish I met some people earlier ,
Some a little later,
And some never at all.
