Reality Of Life
When you give importance to people, they think that you are always free.
But they don't understand that you make yourself available for them everytime.
#MarcusAurelius was a Roman emperor and Stoic philosopher who ruled from 161 to 180 CE. Known as the "philosopher king," he wrote Meditations as a private journal, reflecting on discipline, virtue, and inner strength.
His thoughts, never meant for publication, remain some of the most influential writings on resilience and self-mastery.

I imagined a #life that would recognize my effort,
but I lived one that tested my #patience instead.
#Dreams arrived dressed as promises, then left as #lessons.
I learned #success doesn't clap when you survive.
Some days I mourn the person I could've been,
other days I forgive myself for becoming this
tired, wiser, still breathing, still choosing to walk forward with quiet #courage.
