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.
