Poisonous Past ✔️
Past is past and it's no longer existing. It should be forgotten, yet needs to be remembered to figure out some things. I'm young, not in a rush, but by the time this thing came in my way, I don't even know how to stop. I'm young, but has comprehension. I know that this thing is called "love". How you define love will be based on how you experienced it. For me, I'm quite unlucky. Love is bittersweet. Should be forgotten, but the past is haunting me, showing me every single detail about it. The poisonous past that chokes me for the time being. ~~~ Note: This entire story was written in combined language of Filipino (Tagalog) and English.
