Embrace contradictions for they make upall of life:You will eternally be looking for yourself andseeking ways to lose yourself.

They tell us the only way to move on is to forget.“Forgive,” they say.Realise that you deserve better.That maybe they deserve better.You can't fight fire with fire.Extinguish it once and for all."Do not look back," they say.They don't tell you that only one thing is needed. Only one:love.When you are filled to the brim with love,you only emanate love.You become lover and love itself.Only then will you love even the very people you wish to hate.

Yes, silence is painful, but if you endure it, you will hear the cadence of the entire universe.
