a glance behind to steer the way forward

when you look back at your life, what do you see?

do you see regret?

regret you did something wrong?

regret you didn't do something right?

regret something you said that hurt someone?

regret opportunities that slipped away?



or do you see darkness?

a black hole, absorbing all your little mistakes, your little white lies, your imperfection.



want to know what i see?



i see...


18 years of learning.

a life of adventure.

the moulding of what is, today, me.

learning to make friends no matter who it is.

being who i truly am.


and today, when i look in the mirror, do you know what i see?


i see...


the making of a man ready to take on the world and not be afraid of falling because...

i know there will be hands to catch me when i fall and lift me up.


dedicated to friends who have been with me thru thick n thin, past lovers, and people who, one day, i shall rely on for help. thank you and may the stars illuminate your path.
