An old Native American women tells her grandchildren a story about the Cardinal, the Crow, and the Sparrow and how each were destroyed by envy. She tells this tale in hopes that they will learn the lesson well and not be given to envy and learn to live with what they have and to, more importantly, LOVE what the have.

AA's Second Chance.
"Where There Is Love, There Is Pain" "Can love happen twice with the same person?" Letting go of someone you love is never easy, and the scars left behind can be deep. .....................🩵 she asked, "What's special today?" "Our 4-year anniversary," I said, my voice gentle, as if saying it aloud would remind her of the love we shared. Oh, I forgot," she muttered, Will you be my girlfriend again, my moon? Will you marry me and make me the happiest man alive? I want to spend my life with you, to have children, to grow old together. Will you be my wife?" Silence. Her tears fell freely now, but they weren't tears of happiness. Her face was pale, her body trembling. I stood up, panic rising in my chest. "What's wrong?" "I don't want to be your lover anymore. I'm scared of becoming your wife. I don't want to bring a child into a world where they'll suffer. Let's break up, Abhay." ......................🩵 (Optional to read) The distance from a heart you cherish creates an unbearable ache, leading you to act as if you've forgotten them. Yet, that separation doesn't just distance two souls; it transforms one, giving birth to a new identity shaped by pain. A sweet soul can become arrogant, an excited heart may turn into a depressed one, hiding behind a mask of false smiles. This is the story of two souls-Jeevana and Abhay-whose love was shattered by fear. Four years later, they find themselves on opposite paths. Jeevana, now a talented artist, conceals her sorrow with a smile, while Abhay has become a successful but cold businessman in the gaming world. Fate intervenes, bringing them face to face once again. In this tale of love and second chances, they must confront the past and decide if they can forgive and heal together, or if the wounds of their history will keep them apart forever.
