No Laughing Matter

Rating: 4.0


Different routes lead to different destinations.
Careful planning doesn't guarantee everything will go according to plan.
Running away from who you are will not answer your questions but will create new questions instead.
Windy days will blow everything away, but they will never blow you away!
Consistency is stability.
Show the ones u love stability.
The curtain is closing for people who are afraid to take the next step.
To miss a few shots is part of the game.
Mistakes are part of the game.
Failing and falling is part of the game.
Dead ends are part of the game.
Want to know what's not?
Giving up! :)

I've been here and there but never over there.
Life is too short, I know, but that doesn't change anything.
I don't want to sound depressing but wake up and smell the coffee.
All talk and no action will lead to fruits being less.
You have two hands, one hand is for fighting and the other one is for defending!
So defend and fight!
Because life is a timeless war.

Fools are misusing important platforms just to showcase their stupidity.
Broken are those that have blindly placed their trust on those who don't know the definition of trust.
Exactly like collapsing buildings but with no hope for renovations.
My purpose is very clear.
To hold candles for people who don't believe that there is light at the end of the tunnel.
Yesterday I sheepishly followed people who didn't know where they were going.
But I've learnt how to stand alone.
I was born to stand out today I know, because in crowds I suffocated!
