I have learnt that!

I have learnt that

Its better to finish a painful ending rather than let it linger

I have learnt that life is a package - if u want the good, u gota pay the cost - and the cost is not that bad a thing

I have learnt that things have a way of working out in the end

I have learnt that we are all cowards in our own might

I have learnt that its easier to judge than to understand our own self - yet understanding oneself if the greatest of all gifts

I have learnt that my friends are dear to me

I have learnt that love comes back, in all shapes and forms.

I have learnt that God never leaves you alone

I have learnt that they can never really break u down

I have learnt that security in relationships lies in being complete with oneself - or rather, in nurturing yourself.

I have learnt that your body is a gift from God

I have learnt that God really DOES love you.

I have learnt that its ok not to be perfect.

I have learnt that the only person u shud compete with is your old version of self - and not to outrun it but to improve

I have learnt that love exists in the most extraordinary of places

I have learnt that fear should be heard, so should anger

I have learnt that u've got to give yourself to be complete

I have learnt that its hard to let people go sometimes

I have learnt that life has occassional brialliances of wonderfulness

I have learnt that life and people do forgive you, if u forgive urself :)

Love,
Naureen!

What have u learnt?

The Night

There i lay - sad and broken, with no chance of getting up.

The cool breeze touches my face like a flower - soft and touching through its unique fragrance but finds it stone cold, not moving the slightest.It accepts no change as it knows that any hope would just be an excuse to go on. Advance in a world where hopes are as empty as wood eaten inside-out, having no chance of survival, no strength, no base, just ready to fall apart at the slightest push.My eyes wander in the dark trying to find a source that proves my mind and its despair wrong, but in vain. Even the darkness has betrayed me as its black yet strong existence once was a pleasing companion, sharing my journey and my thoughts without revealing any chance of betrayal. As the night darkens, my hands make their way up the cold wood hoping to come across an agent of change, but little do they know no such thing exists...

The little body that once enjoyed the sweetness of love and the tenderness of care, now lays stillin a state of shock - which once itself was an alien feeling, but now is the only friend present. Events go through my mind, playing themselves repeatedly. Each one has a sweetness that injects itself in the mind, spreading and creating enornomous pain as it goes in a place where it doesn't exist anymore, its only signs being the pain that is felt when it is remembered. I close my eyes, my hands stop moving after realizing reality that is embedded with despair.

The sweet memories now turn into bitter ones, infecting my heartwith pain, without repeating themselves until they find my heart numb and lifeless,not being affected by anything - not even my mind! My eyes jolt open, trying to find a way to solve this mystery. My hands start moving again, wanting to change this state of numbness but alas ! I lay there staring but I do not see anything, my hands keep on moving but i don't feel anything until it all stops ...

I then see the night leave, the rays pushing its very existence away or the night itself gives way to the light it seems, the darkness now is invisible wearing the cloak of light .. its end surprises my eyes. My hands now rest on the cool floor I get up to savor this moment of change, wishing it were all happening inside me. My mind is now balanced through this newfound source of happiness, trying to replace the despair of my heart with the hope that once lightened this dark place .....................
