C'mon!

There are hundreds of ways you can choose to right a wrong but none could ever be so profound as to when you utter the words "sorry". I can't even remember the last time I used that word. I'm not saying I am perfect and have never made mistakes. In fact, I am far from being perfect. There are so many things I have regretted doing but at that moment in time, my conscience was miles away, or dead for all I know. It hits me now when I look back at the colorful past I've had and how it has shaped the path I am walking now, or preparing to walk. As tragic as the past has been, not one person has had an effect on me like the one I keep in my heart. Its best not to names in this situation because everything I have laid out for myself will crumble and burn. I want whats best for me at this stage. Hard work and sacrifice are the words I live by now. And above all, patience. It is a waiting game till the rest unfolds and it is a daunting task ahead but I have to do what I have to do. I can't afford to squander my future off in an irresponsible manner hence the reason why I am preparing now for what lies ahead. I only wish I could hit the fast-forward button but we all know that life throws us curve-balls at every turn and you gotta make the most of what you have been dealt. I for one, refuse to give up. I must soldier on. Then and only then will I ever understand the value of life.
