An extra mile he walked on the isolated beach. Melancholy footsteps into the sand that left deep impressions behind. It was the same way he felt all this while back. The more he began to think, deeper and deeper the scars lay behind. Reflecting on his life, the mistakes he made, the hurt and pain he's been through.  Downhearted, he pulled himself to move ahead, pushing away the gripping negativity.

Splashing waves on his feet, washed out his footprint on the very ground he stood. Turning behind he realized the very essence of his existence was washed out as he walked all this while. The assumption that he left a trail of footprints existed only for that moment. Without his notice the waves had already filled out his footprints with sand. The moment was serene. It was just him, gazing at the contrary sides. It was Life that gave him options. A crucial flip-side to walk back or move ahead with a new beginning.

Little birds. Little birds. Flying high In the sky. Their Freedom is what we long for. Walk around, spread your wings and fly. Fly away from problems, fly away from 

 sorrows. Fly like there's no tomorrow. Days will pass and years. Little we notice the troubles they go through. Battling for a consistent place to live, on a daily hunt for meals to live. A quest of survival agaist the ferocious claws of the eagle. Find a secret shelter when injured or else will be pecked to death. With months of trouble to protect their babies and watch some of them die. In the end, they all wither and have a deadly end. End of life. End of story. 

Perhaps, if we find a way to be free. Life's hardest truth is that we will never really have the so called "freedom". Responsibilities and rules will always be thrust down upon. Our wish. Find a way. Find freedom.

A facial expression that widens your facial muscles in a smile. Smiling brightens up everything around you, makes the world seem so beautiful. Happiness overflowing from within is reflected in your smiling eyes. Right from the time you were born, till now, you've smiled over a million times. Smiling is good, but sometimes you need to catch the hidden meaning behind it. Probably some of us have witnessed a fake smile (a 2 second smile). Smile that shows how happy you are. Smile that is sarcastic. Smiling in love. Smiling when we are hurt.  Smiling to ward of embarrassment. Smiling to say everything is gonna be alright. Smiling when you are plotting. A smile has over a hundred reasons & hidden meanings. 

Most above all, 

"A Smile is something that comes from within, is pure and will always stay"

 

There are few incidences in Life that will stay with you for the rest of your life. Giving you this cherished feeling of the moment. Every single thing around the moment can be felt. Few memories we prefer to cling no matter how much pain it caused. It is certain that good memories tend to slip away as we hold on to those we shouldn't. At the start everything seems to be in harmony, with time things change leaving bitterness. When must we draw the line? How easy it is to let go? Especially when your instinct warns you time and again. Listen to your mind or follow  your heart is often the delima we are trapped into.

Memories should live for the moment to cherish. Only you know how it felt to be a part of the memory. Bad memories should fade while only the ones worth should remain.

 

   

        Love is one such topic that is endless. While eating at a restaurant on a weekend trip, we were talking about different kinds of people in love. Just then we saw a couple entering the restaurant. Hands held tight and the love reflecting on their face. Everything seemed so positive around them. Like flowers blossomed, angels flying around, fresh aromatic air that brightened up the entire place. They were lost in each others worlds and we were lost in theirs.
      Everyone around them stared with a smile on their face. He wispered into her ear and she laughed. He smiled too hearing her giggle. What was so special about this couple?
      Just then it was time to pay the bill. The waiter guided them to the door as  they opened their white sticks and walked, hand in hand, blinded in love.

Its human to make mistakes and I'm no exception. Life is an experience, learn from it ! Move on when necessary and began again with a fresh new start. A few mistakes that make me ponder over and over again. Mistakes that I am a part of while some, just an observation about others. Just as the saying goes by, " A wise man learns from the mistakes of others."

Sometimes we have no control over our feelings. Often led by emotions we almost forget ourselves. Forgiving too much, the same people take you for granted. Mistakes in selecting the wrong friends, trusting someone too much, mistake of not trusting your intution, mistake of not learning from mistakes.

A mistake once done should be an experience that must never must be repeated again. Listen to your heart but also listen to your mind...
