here, take a hug :)

"In the race of getting through life, we seldom forget to truly live it in its true essence." 

how often do we question life? how often do we wonder if we really are living the way we dream of living? 

Probably every time when we try to sleep because it's only then that we are left alone with our thoughts. 

So, is life a journey, a road, a song, a melody, a tale, or a narrative? 

I'd say it's everything which exists between nothingness and fulfilment. 

To exist is to be a part of the universe, but to live is to make the universe a part of you. 

To love and to laugh, to be kind and hopeful, to have faith and zest even in the darkest of times is to be human; and that's when the universe becomes a part of your soul, a part of you. 

We might think our life isn't perfect because it isn't the way we want it to be, but is that really the truth? 

Maybe it is, maybe it isn't. 

What is perfect then? 

Someone once told me, 'it doesn't have to be perfect to make you happy, if it makes you happy it's perfect'. 

Even if there have been more dark days or they still are dark, there's always a little light in the form of hope, and if you pass it through the prism of your existence it'll create a rainbow. 

Alike how Jane Eyre said- "Even for me life had its own gleams of sunshine". 

Keep the good from the past and let it go, believe in the moment you are living in and let it flow, hope for the days to come to be better and even if it doesn't go as planned, accept it because we don't always get what we want, do we?(unless we are filthy rich or have superpowers obviously) But we can always choose to live with what we have and be content with it. 

Smile at the strangers who see you, let them know how beautiful it is to be you; look at the nature and let it rejuvenate you; gaze at the sky and take a deep breath to remind yourself you're alive; put your hand on your heart and thank it for not giving up on you; close your eyes and look within you, your soul is yours, just yours. As long as you have yourself there's nothing you can't withstand.
