Ups and downs

I know what it means to cry, with mucus flowing freely and I know what it means to laugh wholeheartedly, such that triggers those weird, judgmental looks from people.

I know what it means to seek for worldly approval and what it means to be approved by God.
I get it when you're tired and feel like giving up on your dreams and I know what it feels like when you're re-energized for your dreams.

I understand perfectly when you bottle your feelings, desires, emotions and everything and I'm aware of the happiness that comes with sharing deep things about yourself with someone else.

I absolutely grok what it means to be in love and how it feels to be out of love.
I comprehend what a real smile entails and its fake counterpart.
I can relate with the regrets of lost opportunities and grabbing opportunities as it comes. 
I'm acquainted with the rudiments of a broken heart and what it feels like to break other people's heart.

In a nutshell, life's full of ups and downs. To experience the best part of life, you gotta go through the worst to appreciate the best part the more.
Regardless of everything I've experienced, I've kept on...

That's what makes all worthwhile. Don't dare stop. Keep going. Fall and rise again and start over if you need to.
That's what gives meaning to pains and challenges encountered.

Kitnah.

Regardless of the supposed indifferent attitude that most people eschew towards acceptance and love from others, everybody still desires to be accepted but unfortunately we don't always get what we want or what we feel we deserve. The world we live in is not wired to hand over our deepest desires to us. In other words, we can say that rejection is inevitable and when it happens, it demoralises one's self-esteem. It is so disheartening seeing the one you love reject you for someone else or after putting your utmost best for a job opportunity, you were told point

Little gestures of love

Isn't it amazing how we call the month of February the month of love and narrow down the fourteen of February as the lover's day? The last valentine celebration which was few days ago had the internet buzzing with various expressions of love in different forms. Right in the midst of these, the one thing that kept coming onto my mind is what will happen to the remaining 364 days when your partner needs just a little gesture of love from you? Oh! You serve them with 364 days of bitterness, unhappiness, inconsiderate affections, and maybe obvious disdain only to buy flowers, cards and gifts on Valentine's day. Love can never be compressed. Just like every other aspects of our life where you achieve competence by daily practice and consistency, love is an intentional decision to be consistent in showing love to people that matter everyday. You actually don't need to wait till Valentine's day when emotions are high and overrated to show that you truly care. The exp
