1/. Aching to tell you Not referring to windows Pain - Have some, am one playing on the similar spelling of pain and pane 2/. Brittle state of mind Emmerich disaster film Meltdown in progress Comparing my life's disasters to the epic earthquakes and destruction of spectacular disaster movies like those made by Roland Emmerich 3/. Too many regrets Encyclopedia full Let alone Haiku A full list of all my regrets would take to long to share. 4/. Bought the latest one To find it was obsolete Hours after purchase New phones, cameras, and computers - you get the latest one and soon find another one has launched before you even start using it. 5/. Reaching conclusion Many think ordering me Same as advising A lot of friends think telling me how to live my life is the ame as sharing advice where the choice of what yo do would still be mine to make.

I liked the fourth one. It was so real and I could terribly relate to it. LIke I just saved for this particular phone model only to find out a new model came with a higher price tag. It is kinda frustrating.

@Yadah04 I never worry about the new ones as long as my old one does the things I need it to do - had the same basic phone for nearly 6 years now

@arthurchappell I should absorb that mindset, I think that is much more practical.
