Everyone Has a Story

Everyone has a story to tell. Everyone is a writer.

Don't let your dreams die within you. Trust me, your struggle, your fight, will be worth the risk in opening yourself up. Get up. Inhale the air of passion. Start your journey. Grab your dreams. Enjoy your mistakes. Dance to the rhythm of your heartbeats. Smile.

Humans seem to be the only creatures who say they live freely, but they are bound by the restrictions they place for themselves.

like a lion in the zoo, I crave the freedom of standing on a rock and looking down at the kingdom below me. I want to see the birds flying, the elephants bathing happily in their watering hole and the gazelles running freely. That is the freedom which humankind was granted, and I am about to capture it by chasing my dreams across the horizon.

If emotions were colours, I know I would have witnessed a beautiful piece of artwork in a few seconds' time.

If Meera wore her heart on her sleeve, so to speak, I held my own heart closely guarded. I wanted to open up more, but every time I started to take a step closer to that decision, I would think of the oceans I wanted to cross and the reasons why I wanted to escape. Freedom tempted me as much as the sweet girl in the café.

It does make your days longer when there seems to be a problem everywhere you look'

Returning to the top again, it was nearly sunset and the view took my breath away. It was as if a small child had found his mother's painting palette and mischievously splashed all the different shades across a canvas.

Love is something that opens your eyes to new discoveries, even in old places. You want to discover the wonders of the world all over again with the person who holds your heart in their own. When you lose it, all that once seemed to make the world around you will shatter.

'Son,' he said, patting me on the knee, 'some women can steal your heart by their beauty, some can steal your mind by their intelligence and others can steal your soul by their presence. But if you meet the one who can steal your everything without doing anything, that's the one made for you.'

to love is to understand and set your love free to chase his dreams.

'In the end, we always regret the choices we didn't make, the love we didn't accept and the dreams we didn't fight for?

"You need to be real and true to yourself. Don't run away yourself, your dreams or the life which you deserve. Yes, you can still live more, learn more and love more than you've done so far. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain.

We lost, we mourned, but as long as we lived, we could love again.

the worst thing a man could do was make a woman fall in love with him and have no intention to love her back.

Some pieces of life find themselves so attached to our mind that when they are gone, they remind us of themselves a lot more than before. Yet someday we will realize that every piece becomes blurry, every memory starts fading Just like an old book.

'Remember, everyone has a story. It might or might not be a love story. It could be a story of dreams, friendship, hope, survival or even death. And every story is worth telling. But more than that, it's worth living.

'If I have any words of advice for you, it is this: embrace every day, even the rough ones. Each day is your very own page, and you have the power to write the words on those pages. Be courageous, and be strong, but don't forget it is okay to be weak at times, too?
