"It is often too easy to get caught up in ourselves and our issues to spare a thought for feelings that aren’t our own. Being selfish and full of pride leads to tons of unnecessary fights that are exhausting and pointless. At the end of the day, it’s the love you wanted at the beginning that you still want, so why hurt it just cos you’re too blinded by anger and pride to see that your way isn’t the only route to happiness?
Sometimes we wanna give up or want what we can’t have cos we *think* it’s better than what we do have. We let go way too easily because we think we have options. Our egos assume we deserve better, our selfishness points the blame at others, and our pride refuses to let us reflect and assess if the fault is ours. What people consistently fail to consider is whether we’d be okay if we lost what we have, forever. What if we can never get it back or anything remotely close? What if this is the best we will ever get?"
In 2012, I want to "swallow the pride, bind the ego, douse the anger, release the hate, minimize the goodbyes, amend the regrets, and hold on as tight as I can to what I love", because we might not get the tomorrow we subconsciously take for granted.
