IF Only..

I've loved you since I met you.. but I wouldn't allow myself to truly feel it until today. I was always thinking ahead. Making decisions out of fear. Today, because of what I learned from you.. every choice I made was different and my life has completely changed. And I've learned that if you do that, you're living life fully. It doesn't matter if you have five minutes or fifty years. Samantha, if not for today, if not for you.. I would never have known love at all. So thank you for being the person who taught me to love and to be loved.

Bloody bascketball..

I played basketball in the evening. While I doing that, I crashed with one of the opposite team players. He slamed his head to my chin. It was so hurt. And then, his head was bleeding. I was all right. He stopped playing, and went to the hospital right away. I was so sorry. It has been a while since I last saw somebody bleeding.
