True love knows no pain.
No boundaries.
Even if you have been stabbed multiple times.
You can still survive.
You see, hearts are broken every single day.
And in case you have not noticed,
The world has already stopped caring.
You can fight hard I know.
You can move on and strive to to remain in the surface.
After all, the world loves fairy tales.
The world recognizes stories of unassuming protagonist fighting in a battle
Luckily some of them may have won because of luck.
But realistically, not every prince charming falls in love with a maid.
And not all fairy tales have a happy endings.
Fight hard.
Fight smart.
Save your energy so you can have a better chance of survival.
Not all brave men won the battle.
You have never heard of them.
Because the world does not pay attention tho those who simply tried but never made it.
Losing by default is not the same as dying for a worthless cause.
It’s either you lose your self.
Your pride.
Your life.
Dying is the natural consequence of life.
Everything in this world is amazing.
But then, if it must die, drown it not with a bucket full of snow.
For it will only give you the greatest shock of your life.
Don’t even try to extinguish it with your own breath,
For a fire has its natural tendency to fight back when its existence is being attacked.
If it really must die, give it the dignity it deserves.
Let it die a natural death.
Just let it die like a sunset.
Slowly.
Peacefully.
Beautifully.
Meeting and falling in love on the road? Yeah I’m well aware of this lifestyle I have and I know how difficult it can be but trust me when I say, that the reward is actually worth it. We all laugh and cry. We love, lose and grieve but we still stand up and learn. Traveling is the greatest way for us to meet friends and experience a different kind of life and perhaps even falling in love on the road. Some of us cross paths for only one moment. But their memories, their influence on us and love for these people will last for the rest of our lives. Saying good bye is indeed one of the hardest things to do.
