A/n: As the title said, Why? I don’t know either. Love is mysterious subject same as life itself. Why? It is a deep thought to say out loud right? ^_^ What I want to say here is, to treasure the time you have in your life. It happens when you least expect it.
So many people are in the habit of blaming someone else for their unfortunate situations. Whatever is wrong in a person's life is blame on unfair sibling relationship, uncaring spouses, needy children, taxes, imperfect schools, or having been born at the wrong time. Erm... you guyz can figure it out by yourself right? What I mean here?! I hope I'm not to over board with this matter ^^' Yeah, I know, nobody is perfect right? ^_^
Life's a mystery at times. Love dearly from the heart all those that love you and love more those that hate you. Each and everyday appreciate the little things that are done for you, those things are the things that will be worthwhile in the end. Have a nice life you guyz (^_^.) Let's try to survive in our life and remember, you are not alone and you are not the worst.
