...with playing games.

I'm old. I'm busy. I have one direction and that is towards my dream life, though it looks impossible. I have goals. I have so much passion that I kept for years. I have a yearning for positive changes. I have so much love to give that I don't want to waste. I may be young but I believe I only have one life - meant to be lived well, so that one life is enough.

I want a ride or die partner because that's what I am.

One night stands and friends with benefits are not my style. They are a waste of time and energy for me. I have nothing against it, it's just not for me. Don't tell me to swim with the current. That's what's trending, yeah, but I don't follow trends. I don't care if others don't like what I like. I don't live to impress. I don't live to copy. I'm not a xerox machine.

I have loved before. I sacrificed myself. I compromised lots of myself. No regrets though, for I know I have loved truly. Laugh at me, if you like.

Don't lie to me. Don't pretend that you care deeply if you don't. I'm so done with being played. I've had enough of being taken for a fool.

I may not be the best. Others are more attractive than me, smarter than me, reject me, leave me, laugh at me, fine. Break me, I'll always rebuild myself. I will always rise from the ashes. I may cry and wish to die. But I'll wipe my tears. I'll try again. I will always try.

But please, don't waste my time. Time is too precious to waste.

Don't hurt me, please. Don't deceive me. For what it's worth, I can be foolish. I am human.

"Happy or sad?" Grace asked Thomas if what kind of song he wants her to sing.

"Sad," he said.

"I warn you, it might break your heart," she said.

"Already broken," he said.
