Writing code is like writing love letter

I was just sitting here writing.

My eyes were weary, my hands were sweaty.

Yet this is something that must be done.

My minds never stopped thinking, trying to find all the possibility to write out what i really want.

I tried to relax myself and brewed myself a coffee in order to keep myself up.

Going back to my desk, i tried to write several lines only for me to erase it.

“Why does this sounds so good in my brain yet when i write it out, it looks so wrong??” I asked myself.

Sometime later, i finally decided that nothing is ever perfect.

I tried to find the correct and easy way to perceive what i meant, not too complex and yet i also tried to add some unique touch, all perfectly balanced.

Halfway there, i tried to review everything that i have written.

“It’s actually not that bad” I told myself, but i believed it could be improved.

I looked at the time and thought to myself that i will come back again to see what can be improved.

I kept myself going, my confidence is improving and things looked much more clearer.

My hands stopped shaking and i wondered why was it so difficult before.

Turned out i just have to be confident and let my mind run amok.

I told myself that i can go all day.

Finally, i have finally finished it and i’m proud for what i have made.

And now it’s time to sent it and hope for the best.

I left no regret behind since i believed that i have done my best.

Oh and the thing that i said i’m going to improve?

Like i said, nothing is perfect and we can just hope for the best, what’s the worst that could happen anyway?
