tired of angst
everyone has his/her struggles. yes we do. no matter how we may look outside. others may see right through us. however, it's not necesarily a vain disguise if we don't parade our sorrows explicitly. one reason, perhaps, is we don't want others' get so affected with our countenance and be affected by our burdens. though it doesn't hurt to share it with friends too. what matters is we are honest with it ourselves.
"i don't want excuses. i know what you're up against. we're all up against something. so you better make up your mind, because until you have the balls to look me straight in the eye and tell me this is all you deserve, i am not letting you fail even if that means coming to your house every night until you finish your work. i see who you are. do you understand me? i can see you, and you are not failing."
