Tired Heart

I've always associated myself with the word patient and forgiving, because I believe that I am. But I also know that I am not perfect. I could be patient, but my patience doesn't last a lifetime. I could be forgiving, but I cannot forgive if I'm still hurting. It dawned on me today that my patience does not exist anymore, that the wound is still too painful to offer forgiveness and anger is too strong to ignore. I realized, it's either I ignore the existence of one person and co-exist, or declare war, force a win and perhaps lose my values. So I kept my distance. I chose, not to co-exist. I chose to excommunicate and declare an unfathomable barrier in between two walls. I thought I've only got to do this to one person, but NO, maybe the world holds too many holes for exceptional psychologically challenged beings (That's my own description, no medical basis. LOL). Now I've known two. One I cannot trust about anything anymore, and decided to not join in an

Confident as usual, since her credit card has not failed her and she's got credit limit more than enough for a plane ticket, she pushed those keys and click those buttons. After a few minutes, the booking was confirmed. Email was received and itinerary is available already at the www.virtuallythere.com for printing and viewing. Due to the status stated (CONFIRMED), she forwarded the e-ticket and considered it a "job-well-done". On the day of the flight, the person she booked went to the airport for check-in and an amazing surprise made that person's morning not good at all, his ticket was said to be null and void! Thank God
