Bitter Experiences

Sometimes when I sit alone and look back at my life, I realise that what elders say about the balance of good/bad, joy/sorrow, etc is truly inevitable.
There are really a countless no. of joyful moments in my life, thanks to the people around me, and especially my parents who never let the Typical Middle Class lifestyle shadow my limitless joys.
I also had an equal share of some moments that had really me hit hard and stay with me forever, because they keep reminding me of this ironic act of the Supreme Power to balance our lives.

I'd like to share some of those bitter experiences, real eye-openers neverthless. They helped me strengthen myself and get ready to face the facts of life.
