"We are all made up of flaws stitched together with good intensions"


"Life's under no obligation to give us what we expect, it is unpredictable and imperishable."

LIFE stands for Lies, Incompleteness, Failures and Eccentricity but it also stands for Love, Inspiration, Fortitude and Empowerment. Life isn't about experiences, it's about hope because dreams overpower facts and intension overpowers indecision hence, hope triumphs over experience.

It's a matter of perspective, a perspective that you not only believe in but thrive. You can choose to waste an opportunity because life is pointless and death is inevitable OR you can cease the moment because now is all you have irrespective of the inevitable death everyone fears. Fear Life not Death because Life is worth fighting for. You can question it all you want but what answer would suffice? You can call your whole existence an illusion, but the purpose of an illusion is to manipulate one to think otherwise.

Many blame the adversities in life on fate. Fate is not contradictory, it's a gift that is ever in your favour, once you've made a decision, fate will find a way to make it happen but it doesn't mean that the road to glory is going to be a self-driving Bugatti Veyron 16.4 on an expressway to Paradise! It needs a "little" push.

One doesn't just live for oneself but for everyone around. The things you do for yourself die with you but the things you do for someone else remains as your legacy, you don't have to be a royal for that.

Hope, Faith and Love is what keeps us going. It's what eases the pain, defies the cynicism of life. "Hope is the thing with feathers, Faith is the thin silver lining in all the dire and bleak and Love is an untamed mysterious conspiracy of the heart."

What's next? Nobody knows, just keep going till kingdom come. You're not a Survivor, but a Warrior. Because a survivor's legacy withers away whereas a warrior's legacy flourishes.

"In the darkest of nights shines the brightest of stars because they're invincible."
