When your mistakes are exposed, do not lose your temper; do not think that being willful or loud can hide or overcome your shortcomings.
When tears well up, keep your eyes wide open and do not blink. You will witness the world turning from clear to blurry, and your heart will become crystal clear the moment the tears fall.
When days become photographs and photographs become memories, we become travelers walking back-to-back, stubbornly moving away in different directions, with no path to return.
Can we get closer to happiness by tiptoeing?
Respecting others is a way of honoring yourself.
Time and again, memories draw our lives into a circle, leaving us spinning in place, unable to break free. We always long to return to the place where we first met, thinking that if we could choose again, we might love more purely.
After a breakup, one cannot be friends because of the past hurt, nor can one be enemies because of the past love; thus, we become the most familiar of strangers.
To cultivate good karma is to avoid hurting anyone.
Many people love the wrong person out of loneliness, but even more people spend a lifetime in loneliness because they loved the wrong person. We may love each other, yet be destined never to stay together. It's not that I don't love you enough, but I simply cannot be sure if this love is the right choice.
A lonely soul remembers everyone who has ever appeared in their life. Thus, under every star-lit night, I find myself endlessly thinking of you, counting my loneliness over and over.
