I'm as free as the breeze and I ride where I please

When my sanity is tied so tightly to the notion

That you will always be mine

I hope you understand why I'm broken

When the strings of fate that tangled us together

Begin unraveling

Like the denumount of a bittersweet film

That I've seen coming but just can't bear to watch.

I've turned the ending in my mind

Like a smooth stone in my hand

Feeling for any scratch and mar

To justify holding on

Instead of skipping it on the surface of the sea.

“If you have been brutally broken, but still have the courage to be gentle to others then you deserve a love deeper than the ocean itself.”

There are moments in life when you are faced with decisions that feel impossible, where every choice seems to pull you in opposite directions. Often, one of these choices may involve letting go of something or someone you deeply care about, knowing that it will break your heart in the process. It can feel like an unbearable weight—like you’re choosing pain over comfort. Yet, within this heartache lies an unspoken truth: sometimes, the hardest choices are the ones that bring you the most peace. Letting go, though excruciating, can clear the path for healing, growth, and the space needed to breathe again. It may not be immediate, but peace often follows when we allow ourselves to step away from something or someone that no longer serves us.

It’s a bittersweet realization that peace isn't always the absence of pain, but rather the courage to embrace the discomfort of necessary change. It requires a kind of inner strength to make the choice that feels like it's unraveling your heart, yet trust that it is stitching back together something more aligned with who you are becoming. In the end, it’s not about avoiding hurt but about finding the freedom to live authentically and at peace with yourself. And though the road may be painful, it is through this heartache that we often find the clarity and resilience needed to step into a future where we are whole again.

Having a good heart is a gift that many may overlook in today's fast-paced, competitive world. In the face of hardship or mistreatment, it can be tempting to let bitterness and cynicism take root. But the truth is, kindness and generosity are never wasted. When you extend love and empathy to others, you create a ripple effect that often comes back to you in ways you can’t always predict. Life has a way of rewarding those who stay true to their core values, even when it's difficult. A compassionate spirit is like a seed planted in fertile soil; it may take time, but the fruits of kindness eventually flourish in ways you might never expect.

Never regret being the person who shows kindness, even when it seems unreciprocated. That energy, that goodness, will circle back to you in ways that go far beyond what you can imagine. Whether it's through meaningful connections, unexpected opportunities, or the simple joy of knowing you've made a positive difference in someone's life, the universe has a way of multiplying your good deeds. So continue to walk with an open heart, knowing that every act of kindness is an investment in a future full of rewards—sometimes in the most surprising and beautiful forms.
