Caught deep feelings for this girl in 2012. Could have sworn it was mutual but she said we couldn't be. I got rid of every means of communication just so i could heal.

Man is nobody to know what happens to you or even himself.

Whatever they say today about your chances of making it is so irrelevant. Tomorrow remains pregnant & absolutely NO ONE can tell what it would deliver.

So i promised me to never make the mistake of being certain that anybody would end in a certain way and never let what anyone propagates interfere with my aspiration. Life can be stranger than fiction. Today is a gift thats why its called "The Present" be grateful for it and in the words of Jesus "Let tomorrow take....
