...and then we-well, we did the best we could with the time that was left us. We lived at the rate of ten thousand a year. We had the best of everything...Of course it was the pace-don't you call it?-that killed. We were neither of us young, and we knew we couldn't stand it for long, so we enjoyed ourselves thoroughly, believe me, sir, thoroughly.

Life experiences
I've been through my own struggle, whether it was created in my head by way of prolonged sadness or bitterness/resentment, or if I was struggling with things I had no control over like failed friendships, a broken heart, or family drama.

Along with pieces of life experience advice I've included poetry and spoken word pieces from different perspectives and I try to break down life into beautiful words that people can relate to and see that we all struggle- you're not alone and we are each so valuable.Complete

You would never believe that one trip to the New York Hospital could change my life drastically, and not in the way you guys are thinking. Not negatively, but positively.

Eternal Embrace: A Love Through the Ages!
Meera: "Do you remember the first time we met? Back in school, when you stole my pencil just to get my attention?" Aarav: "I didn't steal it-I borrowed it indefinitely. It was my excuse to talk to you every day." Meera: "And yet, it took you years to finally confess that you liked me." Aarav: "Hey, I had to make sure you liked me too! And you did, didn't you?" Meera: "Of course, I did. From childhood friends to first crushes... It all feels like a dream now. Our late-night phone calls, those stolen glances in college, our first awkward date." Aarav: "Our first fight too. You were so mad at me for forgetting our anniversary." Meera: "Because it was important! But you made up for it with that handwritten letter... That was the moment I knew you were the one." Aarav: "Not when I got down on one knee and proposed?" Meera: "That too. But marriage wasn't always easy, was it?" Aarav: "No, it wasn't. Balancing careers, raising our children, the struggles, the losses... But through it all, we never let go of each other." Meera: "Even when we were exhausted, even when we argued, you always held my hand at night. That's what mattered." Aarav: "Because you were my home, Meera. You still are." Meera: "And now, after all these years, we've seen our children grow, watched them start their own families. And yet, here we are, still just Meera and Aarav, like we were in our twenties." Aarav: "Except with a few more wrinkles and a little less hair." Meera: "Oh, stop it! You're still the same boy who made my heart race." Aarav: "And you're still the girl who stole mine. Even in our 60s, in our 80s, my love for you never faded. If anything, it only grew stronger." Meera: "We've had a beautiful life together, haven't we?" Aarav: "The best. And when the time comes... we'll go the way we lived. Side by side, in each other's arms." Meera: "Together. Always."Complete
