problems never ends

i've come to realize that not everything in life is simple. it's not just how you want it to be. i know there's a phrase 'make things simple' even tough it's complicated. i wish i had the ability to do that. certain things, even if it's your decision, you still have to think of others . of how others think of you including your parents. probably some people would say, " don't care about how people judge you"... it's true. but it just doesn't apply to all sort of  matter.
you are not the only one living in this world. you are just a drop of water in the ocean.
