The Tale Of The Perfect Moment
When I was in high school
I had a crush on this girl, Morgan
I held on to this crush, never mentioning it for the entire year
Then one day I came face to face with having to tell her how I really felt
She wasn't shocked or taken by surprise but
instead had simply smiled and said
"You waited too long"
That was the last I heard from her
I clung to this statement for years, trying to never be in the same position
where I constantly was searching for the perfect moment
Unfortunately, I had to learn the hard way that the "perfect moment" doesn't exist
And that chasing a "perfect" moment
Meant potentially ruining a lot of the natural ones
As I waited too long, so she did too
Life's too short to wait for a perfect moment that probably won't come
Since then I learned that you can either live
with consequences or with regret

Ascension
Failure affects a person’s life greater than one may think
It tear you down
It can stagger you
But it can also strengthen you
​
Failure leaves room for improvement and ultimately success
​
Because without failing, success wouldn’t feel as remarkable

A Testament To The Naïve And Innocents
I find love contradicting. Love brightens beautifully like the sun in my life, but it also cast long shadows. Some days, I find myself somber, wandering aimlessly for what was love. I find myself in a pit of despair, wishing it again. But at the end, I realize what I had wasn’t love. True love refines life from its incurable sorrow. The only thing left will be happiness which I know I will find soon.
