Missing and lost.

Your memory feels like home to me. So whenever my mind wanders, it always finds it’s way back to you. I miss your voice because it is a symphony, your scent because it is a treasure, your smile because it is a jewel, your hug because it is a masterpiece, and your kiss because it is a miracle. Sometimes, when one person is missing, the whole world seems depopulated.  Life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself. Life is inherently risky. There is only one big risk you should avoid at all costs, and that is the risk of doing nothing. People have different reasons for the way they live their lives. You cannot put everyone's reasons in the same box. When one door closes, another opens; but we often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door that we do not see the one that has opened for us. There comes a time when you have to choose between turning the page and closing the book. To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all. Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans. The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honourable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well. Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter. Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life.
