Well today, I just realize there is just some internal damage resting inside that erupts in the worst moments of life. Have you heard of this person who just finds peace in solitude, always staying locked at home, with a mirror as a best friend and comfort? That's a self-description. And just as a friend, there are days you don't get along with the image on the other side of the mirror. So, there I sit looking at the image on the other side of the mirror.

Sometimes it is not about the selfless nature in you, as you may be utterly damaging yourself. How can you live a fulfilling life if you are putting so much pressure on yourself?  Well, that is pretty much me for the longest time.
