A wise man once said :

"You can seem like a millionaire to one person and a homeless person to the next. The ants think you are a giant, and the trees don't even notice you. You think you have a boring life, but the next person might be striving for your lifestyle.

Comparison is the thief of joy, so stay kind and keep loving life. Life is all just a big game of perspective."

You and I, two stubborn souls who refuse to let go.
Even when everything says we shouldn’t hold on,
Even when there’s barely a reason left to believe,
We still do.
We still wait.
Not out of foolishness,
But because something deep inside us knows this isn’t over.

We are still here, across the distance,
Wishing for a day that feels like home, together.
To wake up to each other’s presence,
To share laughter in the quiet corners of life,
To build memories out of the ordinary,
To give this life a meaning beyond just existing.

I don’t know how.
I don’t know when.
But I still believe.
I still hope that one day, before our final sunsets,
We will find our way back,
And this time, stay.

“In your life, you meet people. Some you never think about again. Some, you wonder what happened to them. There are some that you wonder if they ever think about you. And then there are some you wish you never had to think about again. But you do.”

— C.S Lewis

Every atom of me is drawn to every atom of you.
It is not just love. It is something deeper, something written in the silence between heartbeats.
It feels like the universe once broke apart, and in that chaos, pieces of us were scattered across time and space only to find each other again.

I do not just feel you. I sense you. In the wind, in the quiet, in the way my soul aches when you are not near.
This is not just emotion. It is energy. A pull that no science can measure, a bond that no logic can ever break.

My atoms love your atoms.
And maybe that is all we ever needed to know.

To master your emotions is to understand the nature of your own mind.
Emotions are not the enemy. They are signals. But when we identify too deeply with them, we lose ourselves. Anger, fear, sadness, even joy, they are all passing states, not permanent truths. When you believe that every emotion is who you are, you become a prisoner to your own mind.

Mastery begins when you can sit with what you feel without reacting blindly. When you can feel anger without becoming it. When you can face sadness without collapsing into it. This does not mean you suppress your emotions. It means you observe them with awareness, without judgment.

The one who watches his emotions without being swept away by them begins to see clearly. And from that clarity comes wisdom.
Because in the end, power is not in controlling the world. It is in understanding yourself deeply enough that nothing within you has the power to control you.

We spend most of our lives holding on. To our names. Our stories. Our opinions. We cling to being right. To being liked. To being someone. That grip feels normal. But it’s also exhausting.

This is the ego at work. Not ego as arrogance. Ego as the voice that says I am this, I must have that, I need to be seen. It builds a structure out of labels and memories and fears. Then it tells us we’ll disappear without it.

So we hold on tighter. To status. To grudges. To pain. Even when it hurts.

But here’s the truth: nothing we hold on to lasts. The world moves. People change. Our bodies age. The more we try to control it all, the more we suffer.

Letting go isn’t defeat. It’s clarity.

It starts small. You forgive someone who never said sorry. You stop needing to win every argument. You accept that not everyone will understand you.

Then a strange thing happens. You feel lighter. Like you’ve been carrying a weight you didn’t know was there.

Letting go doesn’t mean you stop caring. It means you stop gripping. You allow life to unfold without dragging your identity through every moment.

And the relief is quiet but deep. You stop needing to prove. You stop needing to be seen a certain way. You just are. And that’s enough.

The ego always wants more. But peace comes from less.

Not by adding. By releasing.

Not by becoming someone. By being no one in particular. Just here. Just now.

And finally, you can breathe.

Sometimes the hardest fight you will ever face is the one you have with yourself
It is not the world that truly holds you back
It is the voice inside that whispers you are not enough
Your fears, your doubts, your past wounds
They rise like shadows in your own mind
But strength is not about defeating others
It is about showing up for yourself when no one else does
It is about choosing not to give up, even when you feel tired inside
Win that battle, and everything in your life begins to shift.

For me, nothing is more beautiful than the sight of your eyes. They carry the calm of distant skies and the fire of untold stories. In them, I find the warmth I long for, the truth I believe in, and a love I never thought would be mine. When the world grows heavy, I look into your eyes and everything feels light again.

Every now and then, Facebook shows us something special. A memory from this exact day, one year ago. With just one tap, we’re taken back in time. To a photo, a moment, a feeling.

It could be a birthday, a trip, a simple post, or even a random thought. Suddenly, it’s all alive again. We remember who we were with, how we felt, and what life looked like then.

In a world that keeps rushing forward, Facebook Memories gives us a reason to pause. A quiet reminder of how far we’ve come, what we’ve been through, and what we still carry.

It’s more than nostalgia. It’s a little doorway to our past. A chance to reconnect with moments that made us who we are today.
