"For most of life, nothing wonderful happens. If you don’t enjoy getting up and working and finishing your work and sitting down to a meal with family or friends, then the chances are that you’re not going to be very happy. If someone bases his happiness or unhappiness on major events like a great new job, huge amounts of money, a flawlessly happy marriage or a trip to Paris, that person isn’t going to be happy much of the time. If, on the other hand, happiness depends on a good breakfast, flowers in the yard, a drink or a nap, then we are more likely to live with quite a bit of happiness."

Solitude is the soil in which genius is planted, creativity grows, and legends bloom; faith in oneself is the rain that cultivates a hero to endure the storm, and bare the genesis of a new world, a new forest.

She came alone like a lost soul wandering amongst messed up ideologies of people. Through this tempest of wild thoughts,she met a soul she felt she could share her absurdities and insanity with.
She was a wild soul,spreading that innate and raw love wherever she flew. People only saw whatever harmonies she spun for them. They could only look through the walls of misleading ideas and happiness that she created.
She had spent her life fighting her own and the demons of those around her . She had conditioned her heart and mind as to nobody could soothe away the pains of her and she could not be ever with someone.
But this time she felt different,she was confident that she could make it work. He was the one for her she knew.
In the process of becoming a happy couple she somewhere lost her individuality. She forgot what she was there for in the first place. She forgot her dreams and aspirations. She forgot that she was the one who could never be tamed.
The universe on the other hand never forgot what she was destined to be.
She was never destined to stagnate. She was a stream of icy cold water that you not hold in your hand for long,however hard you may try.
A wild soul that can never be bound by chains of worldly customs and regulations.
She is born for greatness. She will pass on the good that is overflowing in her amongst the people she meet during her journey towards greatness.
The journey has just started for her. She will never stop and the good ones around her will always motivate her to keep walking out of toxic surroundings.
She is feral and free.

My feet unknowingly wander,
With the lust to be one
With the beating heart,
Of the sun and the skies,
Of the mountains and the seas,
Of the clouds that whisper by.
And the aching in my soul,
Wishes I could have more,
But the beauty and infinity,
Isn't meant to be known
By just these two tiny feet,
So I close my eyes and breathe in,
The scent of the earth
Humming a lullaby,
And it calms my heart to know,
That some days the world,
Is just a piece of earth,
Stuck to the bottom of my shoe.
