30. Breaking someone’s heart.
31. Fighting for that one thing that would make you happy.
32. That is, holding on to a person who can not guarantee you his/her commitment unless he/she fix him/herself - then, you are left hanging for the moment - then he/she says, time will tell…ang labo lang niya…but you still decided to hope in him/her and trust him/her.
