***Love! Does This Ring a Bell?***

LOVE! Does this word ring a bell? Sure it does! It is a common emotion, yet it is complicated, comprehended, expressed, felt, believed, and hilariously ‘practised’. Numerous scientific and philosophic conclusions have been arrived at as to why love happens, yet love has no bounds and knows no ‘logic’.

Love is left untouched, and it is lost yet not forgotten. Right from wrong, tears cry for abundance. Do not trust too much, do not love too much, and do not care too much, because that ‘too much’ will hurt you too much. Do not fall in love because everything that falls gets broken, but everything that grows gets stronger. Life is good, but we see things that we do not want to see. A tear will escape your eyes as you think about all the lies you have heard about good men, and approach hard times. You do not know why, but you desperately wish to die, and you ask yourself why you are living.

But it is true, the reason why you are alive is because of God, so take life seriously and get along. Speak the truth about the things you can prove, and have faith in what you do. Be a strong woman because remember, ‘a woman is a solid rock!’ Be true because, one day, you will get to where you want to be! So go forward!

Whatever it is you are going through, always remember that God is with you. Be the strongest storm or earthquake, and never surrender and hold on to your life. You will always face difficulties in life, but as long as you are strong enough, you will overcome everything. No matter how many rocks will fall on you, ALWAYS believe you can get though, and that nothing can shake the hell out of you. Life is not perfect, but it is what you make of it.

There are billions of people living on this earth, yet the very same billions of people are different in terms of the way they were raised, whether it was by their parents, the streets, their sibling, or people they see on television.

So, we have to ask ourselves what is it that we are trying to be?

Is it love that we seek? Is it success that we are trying to reach? They say life is a test, a test you cannot study for or find a tutor for. Mistakes in life are inevitable, but do not make learning from each mistake invincible. Come out feeling positive, even when you are in the negative. Learn how to add and subtract people in your life without hatred, for we are God’s children, and we are different!

Learn everything wisely, and with insight in your mind. Understand everything wisely and with intelligence, and even in this complex life, in this obscure life, just live. Live to penetrate the impenetrable situations, and recognise the potential in living with a determined life. Life is full of regrets, and it can often lead to a threat, so make a change!

You may feel horrible things like depression and anger, or maybe even being pulled on a string. But you need to forget some of the thoughts straight away, and try not to remember the day it happened. When you regret something that you have done, remember that the moment is gone. Life is too short to worry about things. You are normally born to have fun in the world, so have a good life, and do not regret stuff and throw it in the trash.

Love is just a word until somebody comes along, but you … you … you are the meaning. When things go wrong, as they sometimes will, when the road you are travelling seems like an uphill battle, when the funds are low and the debts are high, when you want to smile but you have to sigh, and when care is pressing you down, rest if, you must, but do not you quit. Sometimes we learn that life is strange with its twist and turns, but do not give up, even if the pace seems slow, who knows, you might succeed with another blow.

Success is failure turned inside out. It is the silver lining of the dark clouds of doubt, and you can never tell how close you are to it. It may be near when it seems very far, so stick to the fight. Agree with God, Move with God, End with God, and Never doubt God.
