the impact of our existence
we become too hard on ourselves whenever our tiniest mistakes create the deepest scars. in the same manner, we look down on our poor souls who have too much battles — they start to drown us. other times, our biggest efforts just seem to bear the smallest fruits if not useless at all. are we too...
