Quoted

'Pain, you just have to ride it out, hope it goes away on its own, hope the wound that caused it heals. There are no solutions, no easy answers, you just breath deep and wait for it to subside. Most of the time pain can be managed but sometimes the pain gets you where you least expect it. Hits way below the belt and doesn’t let up. Pain, you just have to fight through, because the truth is you can’t outrun it and life always makes more'
-Grey’s Anatomy

"Now I don’t see anything evil in a desire to make money. But money is only a means to some end. If a man wants it for a personal purpose — to invest in his industry, to create, to study, to travel, to enjoy luxury — he’s completely moral. But the men who place money first go much beyond that. Personal luxury is a limited endeavor. What they want is ostentation: to show, to stun, to entertain, to impress others… At the price of their own self-respect. In the realm of greatest importance — the realm of values, of judgment, of spirit, of thought — they place others above self, in the exact manner which altruism demands. A truly selfish man cannot be affected by the approval of others. He doesn’t need it".
Ayn Rand,The Fountainhead

Fragile

“Somehow she feared that any difference of opinion would chip away at the already frail bond that existed between them……..”

P.S. Not always a story is required to describe relationships, sometimes even a line or two can do the needful.

Choice

You know you are going to get hurt,
You know it is wrong, and is going to leave you with pangs of guilt,
You know your fragile trust would break even with a harsh word,
You know it all, but you still can’t convince yourself
You still decide to give it a shot…

Just preferences

I prefer a notebook over a monitor screen…just like that
I prefer going for a jog in th greens over gym…..nature calling
I prefer the star dazzled sky over the blue skies….doesn’t strain the eyes
I prefer staying up late over waking up early…..blame it over the genes
I prefer reading a book over watching a movie.....voice of an avid reader
I prefer coffee over tea & yes vodka over beer….sumthing to do with tasting buds i believe
I prefer SUVs over MUVs ….i know it doesn’t really matter though
I prefer the fragrance of after shaves over perfumes....though i use none
I prefer waiting over keeping someone wait....i prefer the difficult parts
I prefer to live over just being alive.....just a matter of a prefix
I prefer being myself

Is it Life or just Us

When you’re young, your whole life is about the pursuit of fun. Then, you grow up and learn to be cautious. You could break a bone or a heart. You look before you leap and sometimes you don’t leap at all because there’s not always someone there to catch you. And in life, there’s no safety net. When did it stop being fun and start being scary?

Read it somewhere long back, can’t recall where, maybe some book or some blog

Mirage

Sometimes even a right action fires back unto you,
Sometimes even the right words are misunderstood
Sometimes even the closest people break your trust
Sometimes even beautiful dreams end up as nightmares
And what do you do- if that “Sometimes becomes Most of the times”
You still trust, you still do the right… and you still live
Because it is through that tear in your eye, when cast through light

That you SOMETIMES see the rainbow…….
