AN OPEN LETTER TO LIFE

Dear life,
We're not in good terms in this past few years. 
We're in constant chaos and cannot manage to live in peace.
It's because you have changed so much that I almost couldn't recognize you from what you were to what you are right now. 
You'd become more of a frustration to me rather than a promise gratification.


I'm always left wondering why do you have to metamorphosed into something you know I cannot understand. 
Of all beings you should know that I don't easily keep up with changes -- that abrupt changes. 
Heaven forbid, you have almost pushed me at my breaking point.


What is happening to us..? 
We're smooth sailing deeply in love with each other before. 
You and me against the world. 
Our goals, our dreams --built firmly in hope.


Where are your promises of harmony and prosperity..? 
You're hurting me more than I could ever imagine. 


Why do you need to treat me this way as if we are enemies..?
I'm afraid I might get tired and might lose interest in you, then just quit, to escape this overwhelming pain.


Nevertheless, I want you to know that I love you hard enough to wait and see if you will change.
With all the extremely awful experiences I have with you I still believe that you have something beautiful to offer.
That our dreams can still come true. 
Even if everything seems to fall apart I will keep it as a covenant to battle for us by all odds. 
That's weird as though I am a masochist wired to stick with you forever even if you do not bother to care.


But then again, I will vow to love you faithfully and will fight for us to the best I could -- as I must.
