Looking back/

Tuesday, September 18, 2007

Am at simmering point now. Keep reminding myself to take a deep breath, and that it's the fasting month, so.

I MUST BE PATIENT.

I MUST NOT LOSE MY TEMPER.

I MUST KEEP A LEASH ON MY ANGER.

I MUST NOT SWEAR.

I MUST REMEMBER TO THINK BEFORE I SPEAK.

I MUST REMIND MYSELF THAT PATIENCE IS A VIRTUE.

I MUST NOT PULL A LONG FACE.

Breathe, Norlin, breathe. She's not worth it.

"A couple of tears and I'm a broken mess
The sadness has taken me far too deep in regret
So sing me a song about something good
My heart's on the thrashing floor
And I've done every single thing I could...."
