Some people survive and talk about it. Some peole survive and go silent. Some people survive and create. Everyone deals with unimaginabel pain in their own way, and everyone is entitled to that, without judgement. So the next time you look at someone's life covetously, remember, you may not want to endure what they are enduring right now, at this moment, whilst they sit so quietly before you, looking like a calm ocean on a sunny day. Remember hwo vast the ocean's boundaries are. Whilst somewhere the water is calm, in another place in the very same ocea, there is a colossal storm. - Nikita Gill

How can I ebgin anything new with all of yesterday in me ? - Leonard Cohen

It’s easy to become frustrated and angry with others, with life and with ourselves even. You try your best and it doesn’t come out the way you expected it. Or you put effort, time, desire into something; but at some point things begin to fall apart.
Well, it is frustrating indeed; but, frustrating or not, your duty is to observe and learn. And let’s not make excuses. There is always something to learn. Sometimes we don’t want to accept it, or even recognize in our minds that we could've acted better; but the truth will set us free, and it shall also help us become better in life.
Hurt, pain, disappointment, frustration. These are there for a reason. Don’t drown in sorrow, but be patient and humble enough to see and study that reason. The life well meditated is the life which is full of true joy, love and happiness. The life well meditated begins when you accept your flaws, mistakes, faults; and so you start becoming better in actions. - Asa R

To laugh often and much, to win the respsect of the intelligent peopel and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest criitcs and endure the betrayal of falase friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the beauty in others; to leave the world a bit bitter whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condiiton; to know that one life has breathed easier because you lived here. This is to have succedded. - ralph Waldo Emerson
