Aisha Mirza

"What good is a fragile spirit, as when touched, shatters into a thousand pieces."

"Having high resilience does not mean it doesn't sometimes sting."

"Is this not the reason I write, to leave a piece of me behind?"

"My flaws and imperfections make me perfectly incomplete."

"Forging fake smiles to hide painful truths doesn't take away the hurt, but sometimes safeguards our emotions from those adamant not to understand."

"We all have the greatest potential. Life is about finding it, embracing it and then learning to be with it in the world without fear of prejudice or judgment."

"Today I hope to live life. To wake each morning and persevere through the struggles. To understand that there is reason and purpose. I choose to find my path and strive upon it, rising everytime I fall. I choose to keep smiling through the pain, and not be discouraged by others who choose disappointment and despair. I choose to be kind even in the face of animosity. To not become fearful in the presence of hatred. I choose to let go of hurt and forgive. Mend what is broken, I choose to wear my scars, and choose not to be a victim. I choose to stand with truth, my truth, my worth, and stand against all injustice. I choose the life gifted to me, till life is no more."

"If we have touched another's life with our action and through our words then we have lived."

"Perception is the lens through which we interpret experiences,and when we change the lens we change how we experience."

"sometimes we need the world and all the people on her to abandon us so we can turn to the One who will never leave us stranded."

"A story is inside of us all. Each word and sentence is alive and we grace the pages to keep it from dying."

"Slavery remains rife, the shackles are just different. Labels and desires have replaced the cuffs and chains."

"Striking a balance in life is tough, but trying to strike balance and remain fair in the face of imbalance and oppression is even tougher."

"I have learnt that we expect honesty and genuineness from others, while not being honest and genuine with our own self."

"Sometime we must visit old memories to make new ones."

"Negativity only breeds more negativity. I wish to not allow it to enter my heart and not for it to take harbour. It may make itself a home and never leave."

"In knowing you I, discovered my self."

"Sometimes we must forge distance to gauge clarity in our vision and perception."

"It is not the the bruises on the body that hurt. It is the wounds of the heart and the scars on the mind."

"Sometimes the best journeys are those, that start when we do not plan, continue how we do not expect and are taking us places we do not know."
