I have learned that I am just a man and even if I was a woman,
I still wouldn’t be able to do everything at once.

I have learnt that fates plans are not always the same as those I make for my life.

Change is constant and the world is always in motion.

People grow, people change…

Hold on to memories but don’t live life based on a history…

I have learned that some of the greatest friends I have ever made end up as strangers,
and at times I will find my head on the shoulder of a familiar stranger.

Pains’ lessons bring more stability if you focus less on the agony…

And failure is not the end of the world,
as much as success at all cost is not the only way to live life.

I have learnt to live for that smile,
to laugh that hard and hunt for joy in every second that builds my days.

Do not go chasing after love in your desperate breath.

Instead,
I have learnt to sit by the bar,
cold beer by the hand,
have the time of my life and watch love meet me halfway.

Tomorrow may come and change everything I believe in,
it may break me,
it may build me up but until then?

I am faced with now…
and this I have learned.
