give my gun away when it's loaded.

aargh!


we are not perfect.
this world is not perfect.
people are not perfect.

we are the first fruits...

BUT WE ARE NOT PERFECT!!


people hurt and experience things, and sometimes we may never know what others go through. can't we be okay with that? to say,
"hey, i'm sorry, i don't know what you're feeling and i have no idea what to say to you, but i will sit with you and hurt with you."

don't tell them it's all going to be fine.
don't tell them to brush it off.
don't tell them to be stronger.


let. them. hurt.


how can you say sorry in a language you have not learnt?


don't pretend to know.
don't pretend to be stronger.
don't pretend to have it all together.
and if you don't care, then don't pretend to care.


but most of all, don't pretend, no... don't EXPECT things to be perfect in this life.
