The Things That Matter

The scariest thing is to lose direction, to forget who you are. Stand firm on your feet and press deep into the ground. If you stumble, the catch yourself. Never expect someone else to do it. The world is never forgiving to those who take their opportunities for granted. Nor does it reward those who stand by and wait for things to happen to them.

The world can only disappoint you as much as you will let it.
People can only break your heart as much as you will let them get away with.
Things can only hurt you as much as you are able to let go.
Memories can only haunt you as much as you are able to forget.
Emotions can only control you as much as you are able to overcome them.

The Fall

In his eyes, she saw a glimpse of hope. The kind of hope that she had never dared to imagine before. She saw a future...something that seemed so impossible, so far away, so out of reach. Yet when she saw him, it was right there. Everything was within her grasp. She felt that for once there might be something worth fighting for once more.

But with just one simple blow, it hit her. She had not even seen it coming. It was like standing at the edge of a cliff on a calm, beautiful sunny day and out of nowhere, a tornado began to form. It knocked her off the edge without any warning. She fell without even knowing the reason. When she finally realised what had happened, she wished she had died from the fall. Yet, here she was, paralysed, unable to move, stranded, in pain - oh in so much agony - at the bottom of the pit. She was all alone...bleeding. If only she had bled to death, but no, life was never that easy...
