what you do, the way you think, makes you beautiful ;

The series of unfortunate events, the way it started, the climax, the ending, it all sounded familiar. Heartbreaks, laughters in between, confusion of emotions , lack of understandings. They gave me words, points, stories of the almost the same thing. Different tellers, different expression, different outcomes.

She gave me her piece of mind. I took it and wrote it down. She gave me her side of the story. I took it and pasted on my walls. She wanted my shoulder to cry on, I sat next to her and lent her my ears. It all was, amazingly, the same story.

So probably, the story you're living in right now, is a story, or was a story, of someone else's too. In a way, it gets me thinking, probably the joy I feel today, is the same joy someone else has felt, or will feel in the future. We're connected in a very funny way. And I guess that is why, when a stranger decides to play their role and give in their two cents of things, it gives you an impact. Because once upon a time, they were there.

The beauty of this is that, though we all might have been through the same things, how we react to them, is always different. You and I, we probably might have the similar story, but how I see things, and how you see things, are different. Some take time to heal, some decide not to heal at all, while there are others who decide to stay indenial.

My two cents in this,
To keep things simple, be true to your heart, to yourself, and push away what the world thinks. Because at the end of the day, it is you who will face the consequences, not them.

But of course, you knew all this already.

Eid Mubarak to everyone.
