Aisha Mirza

Sometimes the best journeys are those, that start when we do not plan, continue how we do not expect and are taking us places we do not know.

We sometimes just have to let things be.There are times in life that things happen, and we just cannot control them. There are times when we don't want things to happen, but they do. Things that we don't want to know, we learn. Times in which people we can't live without, we have to let go.The greatest learning is accepting what has, what is, and what will be. Remaining focussed on where we want to go, and how we want to get there. It might not go the way we planned, or the way we hoped it would be. No one said life would be easy, but at least we keep trying, and working hard at making it the best life it can be.

They say compassion is the only voice; a gift which can help mend the broken, lift the fallen and soften the hardened.

The heart stays heavy if it remains in a state of unforgiveness.

Sometimes we will love people not for who they are, nor for what we gain from them but what they are. Those people that reflect a light. Those that make it easy to love, make us willing to give, and make us wanting to be in their presence.

Tears are the words that the heart could not express, silent truths the eyes do confess.

I write to taste life twice; to savour the flavour of sweet times gone by, or spit out the bitterness before it multiplies.

In the shade of words sits life itself.

Be careful of what we say or do on this earth as every word and every action has a return.

Power and control are more dangerous than any weapons.

Thoughtful minds grow, from the sharpened awareness of those who have lived life; through love, curiosity and tragedy.

What good is a fragile spirit, as when touched, shatters into a thousand pieces.

Having high resilience does not mean it doesn't sometimes sting.

My flaws and imperfections make me perfectly incomplete.

Is this not the reason I write, to leave a piece of me behind?

Forging fake smiles to hide painful truths doesn't take away the hurt, but sometimes safeguards our emotions from those adamant not to understand.

We all have the greatest potential. Life is about finding it, embracing it and then learning to be with it in the world without fear of prejudice or judgment.
