I find myself in the fallen leaves scattered on the ground,crushed beneath the careless footsteps of strangers. I find myself in the hollow, dreamless eyes of a beggar boy,standing silently at the corner of a street,waiting for the mercy of a few coins. I find myself in the smile of a newborn child,eyes just opening, […]
When all you know is to play When ignorance is a blessing Days feel endless Nights are smaller than your dreams Carefree and far away from logic and judgement Curiosity can take you into the deepest jungle without being scared A bug on a leaf, the taste of ice cream and a bed time story
There are days when I admire men. I see how society burdens them with pressure—to be strong, successful, emotionally silent.

The scars it leaves behind are the ones that will never abandon you.
They quietly remind you of what you’ve lost, of your struggles and deprivation.
Embrace your pain, for it will stay with you for life.
An icon of the strength you have gained.
At some point in our lives, we all face moments where we are unprepared for disappointing results. We unconsciously prepare for positive outcomes, because we naturally expect and hope for the best.

This realization brings regret and deep pain to my heart. Perhaps I am too hard on myself, but this comparison—between the pain I feel and the pain I’ve caused—humbles me.
When you rely on others for happiness, you hand over control of your emotional well-being to them. Because it’s easy to get into the habit of letting someone else’s actions or words affect your mood. It also puts a lot of strain on those relationships and you end up feeling disappointed when people don’t live up to your expectations.
