You breathe every second of your life,
But the seconds that really count are the ones that take your breadth away…

Im Sick…

My body feels like a pincushion and my head seems atleast twice its weight. I hate being sick for a simple reason… I dont get to do much.

By the time I reached office my throat was paining and the Strepsils seemed to have not helped at all. In another hour my head was splitting and I realized it was getting really bad.
