Carpe Diem!

You know what they say about life

Sometimes, life is one helluva roller coaster ride. On other occasions, a period of lull with nothing noteworthy instilling a feeling of stagnation. Troubled times feel like a bereft chapter from the book of life that we wish to get over with. Through all the highs and lows and the trials and tribulations, we pick up a lesson or two en route, which stay with us for the years to come. 
Here's reiterating a few etched into my psyche.
I've learnt to ignore the unimportant and value what really matters. I've learnt to let go, to not trust too blindly, to not fret over things beyond my control, to never give up, to be blunt and speak my mind, to differentiate between cost and worth, to not judge too quickly, to find happiness in the smallest of things, to acknowledge and appreciate a simple good gesture by someone else, to use my mistakes and failures as a lesson and to forgive and forget. I've realized that life is and will be unfair but that the metaphorical 'Karma' is for real. I've seen friends become complete strangers and strangers become more than just friends.
Nothing holds us back more than our own fears and insecurities. So, take that leap of faith; take that chance. The best things most usually happen to us when we least expect them to. Believe in the decisions you take, that would make them right in themselves.


Sign off each day with better hopes for what comes next,
And remember to Carpe the hell out of that one!
