Priorities: The lesson learned late.

Today, after a decent number of months through which given hell, the realization that the worse could yet strike, dawned upon me.

Seen that selfless little ant, who'd rather be nowhere but somewhere where she'd get a couple of sweet words and those sweet gestures of love? Not to mention, how she gives all that the little thing's capable of, and take in all that she couldn't ever bear, and then lift it all up with a pretty smile. 
Just for your sake, and the sake of that "love".
If you tried being like that little ant, sacrificing and giving things up for someone; eventually the circumstances would turn on you. Nobody sticks around for too long. There is no "Eternal Love", no "Forever and Always" and definitely no "Happy Ending". Every story has a turning point. People change. Chapters close. Stories end. And then you're stranded alone. 
Well, mostly.

Though I've learned, that there is this one person who would always be around. Somebody who could be regained if lost, and somebody who you could always depend upon. 
And that special somebody, is you. So cherish yourself.


I learned my lesson. And now, I own myself. Do you?
