Why, you think, do they call it a burning desire?
Because it really burns you, and consumes you. You, your life, your mind, body, and soul. You will not fall asleep without thinking about it, and neither will you wake up without it being the first thought of your day. You really are on fire.
And when [...]
I have not felt more confident, hopeful, and grateful in my life. Some things just need to be let out, to someone who truly cares. Now I really need to put this behind, and not let it bother me. I will relish what I have, and focus on other important things. Certainly, the matter has [...]
Saya tidak kisah sekiranya awak mencari kemarahan saya. Ibarat seorang penggali harta, dia belum tahu di mana menghentak cangkulnya baru terdengar nyaring bunyi peti besi yang berisi harta.
