I’ve always loved quiet people. You never know if they’re dancing in a daydream, or if they’re carrying the weight of the world.

People can be very quiet about their pain that you forget they are hurting. They go about their days and splash a smile for the world but deep there is a fire that consumes them. They help their peers and forget to help themselves. But they know that they will try again tomorrow. This is true strength . They have to let go even when they want to hold on. It takes courage to pick up the broken pieces of yesterday and puzzle them together for a better and brighter tomorrow. This is why it is important to remember to always be kind to each other. You don’t know what battles the others fight.

Be patient with all that is unsolved in your heart and try loving the questions. When you truly know and understand that you have a limited time on earth and that you have no way of knowing when your time is up, you will begin to live each day to the fullest, as if it was the only one you had. Start getting in touch with the silence within yourself and know that everything in this life has a purpose. In a time lacking in truth and filled with anguish and despair, no one should be ashamed in attempting to give back to the world through own work a portion of its lost heart. Carmen Monica

Beautiful people don’t sell their souls for material things. Beautiful people love people, regardless of their color, they love the nature, the sunrises, the truth, the word. They are generous and kind, and love to smile and to give hugs. Beautiful people love God. They are the ones who are called simple people.

A long time ago I read a novel that ended with the phrase: don’t expect miracles in the fall. These words remained imprinted in my mind because, for a very long time, I was waiting for a miracle that took its time before it actually happened. So many times we are prepared to give up when the things don’t go our way. We feel unfulfilled, sad, and we tend to abandon our hope that we will get better. The truth is that miracles happen right when we need them the most and not when we desire them because of our tendency of wanting a change. I never expected a miracle in the fall, but this season has brought it to me when I needed it the most. All I had to do was pray that God had a plan to see me through once again, just as he always did. My advice to you is to never stop believing in the power of a prayer. It can make the unexpected happen and show you once again that a higher power is at work on your behalf. If we practice compassion and kindness toward one another, it will come back when we don’t expect miracles to happen.

It sometimes happens to close our eyes and listen to the echoes of our hearts. Everybody falls in love. Sometimes, we love so much that we lose ourselves in our passions. Usually, we wonder why there is love that grows, and there is love that grows cold. Then, we start searching for answers, and we try finding where love has gone off beam, only to see ourselves where we started because we can’t question love when love has its reasons.

Love will always be just as it has always been—silent, enigmatic, and acutely profound.

Many believe that love is forever, never dies, only to be disappointed in the end when they find their hands empty and their hearts longing. They mistakenly think that love is a need to be satisfied. But love is just a gift given to them. They shouldn’t hold it in their hands because they may never find the strength to let it go. They should just embrace its warmth and spark while it lasts and then open their arms when it’s time to say goodbye.

When people fall in love, they don’t want that feeling to end, for it is everything that they wanted. They pray that love will stay and grow in their hearts. But, if it doesn’t, then they should never let their lives be taken by it, because life shouldn’t end where heartaches start.

There is always a reason why people have to move on. When they have to say goodbye to feelings they wanted to stay forever, let them not wave their hands with heavy hearts. Love must set its wings free and find the home where it belongs. They may have lost it, but then again, when they close their eyes and listen to the echoes of their hearts, people will hear that feeling resounding silently forever. Then, they’ll know that love has never left them because the righteous people they had become because of love will always stay. It will still be there reminding them that they should be thankful and happy, not because they have lost love, but because, for once in their lives, that feeling lived in their hearts and made them happy.

Love,

Too many women and men find themselves in situations where they lose themselves in the process of holding on to a man or a woman. They became the women or the men who kept being mistreated and formed habits of saying that they were used with being abused. They became the unappreciated women or men and lied to themselves that the whole process was all right. Even when they were undervalued, those women or men learned to say they were fine.

Day after day, they were put last, and they naturally reacted with the same attitude of “whatever.” They became the women or men taken for granted and they dealt with this situation by repeating like a mantra that everything was okay. Even when they became unhappy, they still told people that they were going to be okay.

The ones reading this right now should understand that nobody is worth losing yourself for him or her, nobody is worth suffering for at the expense of your happiness, and nobody is worth tormenting yourself over for the sake of making the other partner happy. At this point, perhaps losing him or her is the only way you would be able to get yourself back because, as much as you wouldn’t want this to be true, he or she was the only thing that was in your way of finding yourself he was the only reason you had lost yourself for so long.

Love,
