"Love does not cost anything. Kind words and deeds do not cost anything. The real beauty of the world is equal for everyone to see. It was given by God equally to all, without restrictions.

Everyone, was given a beautiful vehicle in which to express love to others. Feelings are free to express and give to ourselves and each other through our willingness to give and care.

What is complicated about this... Why have we made others feel they have to climb mountains and swim oceans in order to make a difference.

All we need to understand my friends, is that human life was given equally to us all, not partially but in totality.

The sun was given to all. It does not shine on the few. So, just has nature is indifferent to our station or situation, we need to know that we are all equal. We need to focus on the things that are constant and not place our values on things that can be blown away with the next, great, wind.

Value life in whatever house, it dwells. For when it comes time that we are all stripped to the bare bones before the divine and facing eternity, we will understand that the only law we were meant to follow, was to love ourselves and each other. Nothing more... Nothing less."

― Carla Jo Masterson


Rachel's POV (Unedited)


It's very quiet, the light is muted as I wake up in a very unfamiliar surroundings..


"Where I am?" I asked myself as my throbbing head keeps on aching.


Then, a slowly fractured memory came to haunt me.


I was at the bar, letting myself drunk on too much alcohol because of Ryan- a boyfriend of mine for almost a year.


I was a fool and stupid making myself believe that he truly loves and faithful to me. But, in the end, I was the one deeply hurt and feel betrayed as I saw him having sex with my best friend.


Oh! Shit! My best friend... My best friend who always been there for me in bad and good times were the one who deceived me. They both betrayed me! My tears fell again as I thought of what they have done to me.


I fumbled when I hear a groan beside me.


Holy! Hell! Who is this man beside me? Shit! No! This can't happen! I shook my head of incredulity as I seen the man fully naked.


I slightly pulled up the duvet and saw myself naked too..


Shit! What have I done? I shook my head as I don't remember anything.

Don't panic! Calm down, Rachel! This is just a one night affair.. Don't think that he will search for you, after this mess! Get Up! I thought frustratingly..


I glance up the clock on the bedside table and saw that it's already 5:00 AM in the morning.. In my curiosity, I move closer to the man beside me and saw that he's not just as handsome but as handsome as Tom Cruise. Ryan is far from this man.. I smiled, wondering that I did not give my virginity to Ryan but, it's also sad that I give it to the man to whom I didn't even know..
