I Could Have Waited

Truly haste makes waste

I COULD HAVE WAITED

Life and chance happens to all, but do you know we all are the architects of our future?

Waiting more often than not is so boring, not to mention your family, friends and colleagues who keep prying, letting you know, in a subtle way in some cases, that you are a failure before you even had a chance to turn 21.

Guess it's the devil's lucky day, to find a damsel in distress, who is now very desperate but also naively clueless. As they say, life happens! Or should I say, the fear of tomorrow happens.

The excitingly painful thing about life on earth is that tomorrow will always be there for the living and every tomorrow comes with its on load of trouble. Thus, the problem isn't really about tomorrow but who you have become; can you handle the shit tomorrow brings? O, don't tell me, tell you!

I was like every other teenager, or maybe not really like every other. Let me see... I was always the youngest in every classroom and kind of always ran off to mingle with junior students. Ouch. I had my perfect dream of a life...and marriage. Lol. But just before I touched 21, I hit the jackpot for the rollercoaster of emotional balderdash which escalated to a gasping for air situation in my personality. I was cracked!
