Secrets I've held in my heart, are harder to hide than I thought
I don't suffer from insanity, I enjoy every minute of it.
بخار کے بڑھتے وائرس کے پیشِ نظر مسافروں سے التماس ہے کہ فیس ماسک کا استعمال یقینی بنائیں۔
Abandoned places, abandoned hopes, abandoned relations, abandoned people, abandoned trust

Zoe stared at her. As Mariana looked into her face, her cheeks flushed and eyes wide, she saw the eyes of a child: a little girl, scared, bursting with a secret she didn't want to keep, but was too afraid to tell.
The truth was Zoe had suffered badly from depression as a teenager. She had frequent fits of crying, punctuated by low, flat, emotionless moods, too depressed even to cry which Mariana found harder to deal with than the tears. It was difficult to reach Zoe during those years, although her problems were hardly surprising, given the traumatic loss of her parents at such a young age.

حساسیت بڑھتی گئی ہر سانحے کے بعد
ہم اس کے لئے بھی روئے جسے جانتے نہ تھے
We're inevitable. We're tragedy.
We all secretly hope that tragedy will only ever happen to other people. But Mariana knew, sooner or later, it happens to you.

Sylvester Stallone said in the 2006 film Rocky Balboa:
“It ain’t about how hard you hit, it’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward.
That’s how winning is done!”
“I’ve missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games.
Twenty-six times, I’ve been trusted to take the game-winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.”
Michael Jordan
HAPPINESS = REALITY - DESIRES
“It is common sense
to take a method and try it.
If it fails, admit it frankly
and try another.
But above all, try something.”
FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES (1933—1945)
“He who has a why to live for can bear almost any how.”

He leaned over and grabbed the black snake, still fisting its body and
staring at me as the reptile hissed, snapped back around, and struck the back
of his hand, sinking its fangs into him.
Aydin released it, and I watched as he sucked the two red punctures into
his mouth and spit the blood into the plant bed.
“Like nearly all suffering,” he told me, “it bites, but you live.”
Sweat cooled on my skin, and my head was in the clouds, a tremendous
weight I thought I’d always feel suddenly gone.
Leaning in, Aydin kissed my temple, and I didn’t even consider pulling
away. His lips were warm and gentle—almost like a…
Like a father.
“You’re Lilith,” he whispered against my skin. “You can’t be burned if
you’re the flame.”

"I am not scared,” he repeated. “I am the eye of the storm. The calm in
the madness.”
I blew out a breath, drawing in another.
“The quiet in the chaos. The patience for my moment.”
My hand started to melt into the dirt, the snake shrinking and my heart
starting to slow down.
We didn’t blink.
“I am the eye of the storm,” he murmured, and I was transfixed. “He did
not happen to you, Emory. You expected it. It was supposed to happen. It
was all part of the plan. You knew it was coming.”
his voice surrounding me like music.

storm, Emory. Calm, quiet, patient, and then… Then you happen to him.
