brat.

i need to learn to see the beauty in not getting what i want.

it's a hard lesson.

with no-one else to blame.

guilt is a very mean friend.

so is regret.

as is disappointment. 

you can only try to befriend them. strike a deal with them.

but in the end, they always win.

and it's time - time to get to know them, to understand them

and the beauty in knowing that their friendship is worthwhile in the long run,
and that you will meet a new best friend called 'timing'

that will get you through.
