FIGHTING TEMPTATIONS

i am enough with this..

these days pass were so cool that i don't intentionally want to disturb myself..

tough decoy eventually comes i must be stronger to what i keep holding on..for that someone who doesn't deserve to disappoint, hurt, and be down.

i don't mean to be offensive..

maybe sometimes some people we longed before.. whom we thought we already forgot or they're gone in our lives with unauthorized goodbyes are still attached with us.. unknowingly..

and when at abrupt times they show up to you.. everything left behind in the past recalls you..

suddenly you didn't notice that you were starting again to live and wanted to continue the disclosed history..

and worst you didn't even aware that your starting to ruin your present..

which shouldn't be.. and whom shouldn't be.


i was inspired by this quotation:

"Would you keep a chive on your tooth just because you enjoyed last night's potato?"
~From the television show Boston Common


for those who can relate with me:

love the one who loves you.
love the one whom with you now.. and be with you tomorrow..

FORGET THE PAST..LIVE TODAY and it will settle your TOMORROW!

PS:
The past is a good place to visit, but I wouldn't want to live there.


there are more inspiring excerpt wherein you will realize the existence of your present.

im guilt-free

happy

and contented! ;-)
