When I was knocked down


“The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.” ~ Mahatma Gandhi

“Life will break you. Nobody can protect you from that, and living alone won't either, for solitude will also break you with its yearning. You have to love. You have to feel. It is the reason you are here on earth. You are here to risk your heart. You are here to be swallowed up. And when it happens that you are broken, or betrayed, or left, or hurt, or death brushes near, let yourself sit by an apple tree and listen to the apples falling all around you in heaps, wasting their sweetness. Tell yourself you tasted as many as you could.” ~ Louise Erdrich

Life isn’t about rise or fall. It’s about how you stood up each time when they put you down and making the best of what you think that would crash you down. There’s always a bright side of life. ~ Jhoyze Malimban Visto
