Life is hard. If it was easy, then there would be no reason for us to continue to exist.
A part of me believes that love is all about the right timing. However, when you fall, and I mean when you fall really hard, nothing matters. All of your undivided attention will be for that one person whom you truly care about. The problem is if that person will reciprocate.
A wise friend told me before, we can only have one - career or love. The rational part of me agrees that we should always choose career. Why? because, it will never leave you until you do. If you choose love and it ends badly, you will lose yourself and worse, everything around you. Then again, there are people who can attain both. Not perfectly, but can balance it and they are lucky because they found someone who can walk with them the same path, who can support equally.
