It's okay to not look your best,
because you are not just your looks!

You are much larger.

Why become small by limiting yourself with just how you look?

While soaking the February sun in my cold bones, I think of possibilities.

I hear the sparrows chirp on my house's rooftop, but I also worry about the ominous fumes rising from a factory nearby.

This is also an analogy for my life.

I question if my imagination runs a bit too wild or if I trust my ideas too less?

I am unable to feel completely happy, but I cannot sink into sadness just yet.

I wonder what to choose, hope or despair?  

I am hanging somewhere in the middle,
in the web of possibilities, both good and bad.
‎
I am searching for answers to questions that nobody can answer for me.

I have forgotten all Finance,
except for a maxim
that refused to leave me:

"Higher the risk, higher the return."

It could teach me about the stock market in which I would never invest, but more importantly, it teaches me about life.

About taking long brave strides to where I want to go, instead of tip-toeing my way to nowhere.

Winters remind me of all the happy days,
Of moments that wont ever be back,
People that I’ll never come across,
Places that’ll never be the same,
And feelings I won’t feel anymore.

My heart sinks with the nostalgia,
That surrounds my heart and mind,
As I sit mesmerized among my books.

You may have saved a life
Without knowing that you may have saved a life.

You may have said a kind word to someone who was dying to hear one or maybe planning to die.

You may have saved a soul from drowning in the quicksand of depression.

By feeling someone's pain without his having the courage to utter it.

By being there for someone who needed someone to keep breathing.

You may have unloaded the burdens of a heavy soul who was about to succumb to the dreariness of this world.

You may not know the gravity of your smallest deeds.

But you may have saved a life without knowing that you may have saved a life.
