“Life for me is never a problem to be solved but rather a reality to be experienced.”

 


The funny part about life is that it’s never a matter of milestones but of moments.

why stop dreaming when you are awake?

I never seem to reach my destination when I seem to throw stones at every dog that barks at me. For me, Healing was always about accepting never forgetting. I’ve indulged myself into my hourglass. Time seems to tell me everything I need to know. I never crossed the sea by standing and watching waves breathe in and out. I never cared about material things someone could give me. I’ve care about time, attention, honesty, loyalty, perspiration and effort. Those gifts mean more than anything money could buy. Something that life has taught me is that, people who cannot love people, start loving money because money is a means to possess things. The more money you have, the more things you can possess; and the more things you can possess, the more you can forget about people. You will have many things but you will not have any contentment, because deep contentment comes only when you love a person. The money will not revolt but it cannot respond either, that’s the problem. Life has also taught me that you can’t control someone’s loyalty. No matter how good you are doesn’t mean they’ll treat you the same. No matter how much they mean to you, doesn’t mean they’ll value you the same. Sometimes the people who you love the most, turn out to be the people who you trust the least. When people make you feel unwanted, don't leave to make them feel sad or guilty, they won't. Leave because you no longer have a reason to stay. Sometimes you have to be strong for yourself.

What's meant to be will end up good and what's not - won't. Love is worth fighting for, but sometimes you can't be the only one fighting. At times, people need to fight for you. If they don't you just have to move on and realize what you gave them was more than they were willing to give you and more than they deserve. I always tell myself, “One day, your life will flash before your eyes like a film reel. Make sure that movie is worth watching.”
