LIFE

Its ironic, and almost funny when you think about how precious life is. Through life's countless mistakes and forgivings till you then only realize that life is indeed precious. Treasure every moment as if it were your last, treasure every single breath you draw in as though you were fighting for the very essence of life itself. Only then, that I sincerely believe, that you have truly lived. Or so I'd like to think.

In a person's life, some kind of mistakes can only be made once. Because as most would put, "point of no return". A phrase like that doesn't come from nothingness right? I made mistakes after mistakes, big ones, small ones, family ones, friendships, work, the list goes on etc. But still I am here, drawing breath and treasuring every moment.

That is why I am atoning, for what I have done. And to simply treasure every single moment I have with you, every breath of you, every single one of it. I do hope that one day, I'm given a second chance, and I pray, I really do, that I would be given one. For the very fact that I dare tell you, I'm changed. No longer who and how I used to be. I just hope this phase will come to an end and pass, so things can move on, I can move on, and definitely you too can move on. This isn't me running away, I've nowhere to run, I can only overcome.

So many plans, so many aspirations, so many dreams... I do hope to one day fulfil them, all and every one of them. I do hope also and pray still, that I'd be given this chance. Because in this world that I believe in, second chances don't come easy. They're almost non-existent. But I firmly pray and believe.

Faith moves mountains. Faith. I have that.

Hence this is me, signing off as a person, someone normal, someone not pretentious, someone true, me.
