As much as we try to plan our lives to the last second, things will often not work out as planned. We must accept this or we will run mad trying to dictate everything.
Everything ends, and sometimes it starts to end as soon as it begins. Even this life that is the host of all the experiences we're evaluating will end.
There are no nice endings in life. If something was good to keep going, it wouldn't end.
Real life is not like the movies. We should savor the romanticism in film, but in life, the sun rises and then it sets, and this cycle is repeated until one day it doesn't - for us, not the sun.
Life is hard sometimes, but we can learn from tough times. It's okay to feel sad when things end, but remember that new good things can start too. We must try to stay positive and keep going. Thanks for this reminder Odinakachi.
"I have since opened up my heart so many times to life; to love; to everything there is to be felt, and if there is anything I have learned, it is the fact that life always goes on. Always!"—so true! Heartbreak is so painful, but once you emerge on the other side of it and realized you were able to survive it and become more resilient, the world feels so full of possibility! After a sudden breakup, amidst my pain, I also had the thought: isn't it funny how life can always surprise you?
Yesss!!! Life never loses its ability to surprise. I guess once we clock that, it becomes easier to move on from things. It becomes easier to enjoy life fully without feeling the need to put a leash on our joy.

Great work as usual, Odinakachi.
Most definitely! It’s either we accept the reality or lose our minds.
Thank you so much for engaging, Harun.

Apt! Truly, “real life is not like the movies”.
