The Special Child
There was quite a long time ago a couple who had no kids, and they implored Paradise consistently to send them a youngster, but it was no greater than a hazelnut. Finally, Paradise heard their request and sent them a kid the size of a hazelnut, and it never grew an inch. The guardians were extremely dedicated to the little animal and breastfed and tended it cautiously. Their minuscule child was also really cunning, so sharp and reasonable that every one of the neighbors wondered over the astute things he said and did. At the point when the hazelnut kid was fifteen years of age and was sitting one day in an eggshell on the table adjacent to his mom, she went to him and said, 'You are presently fifteen years of age, and there is no hope with you. What do you mean to be?' 'A courier addressed the hazelnut kid. Then his mom burst out giggling and said, 'Whatever a thought! You're a courier! Why, your little feet would require an hour to take care of business a common individual could do in a moment!' However, the hazelnut kid answered, 'By and by, I mean to be a courier! Simply send me a message and you'll see that I will be back in close to no time.'

: A Chance Encounter That Changed Everything
In the bustling heart of the city, where people hurried past without sparing a glance, an unassuming coffee shop stood hidden in plain sight. Its name, "Brewing Serendipity," hinted at the extraordinary events that were about to unfold. One rainy afternoon, as droplets danced on the windowpane, Sarah found herself seeking refuge within the cozy embrace of Brewing Serendipity. Clutching her wet umbrella, she hesitated before stepping inside. A comforting aroma of freshly brewed coffee enveloped her, and her senses were immediately awakened. As Sarah ordered her usual cappuccino and settled into a corner, she noticed an open book left on the table beside her. Intrigued, she glanced at the title, "The Art of Embracing Change." The words seemed to resonate with her, given the turbulent phase her life was going through. Her job had become monotonous, and her personal life felt like a series of uneventful days. Lost in thought, Sarah barely noticed when a young man took a seat across from her. His warm smile broke her reverie, and she nervously returned it. "I hope you don't mind," he said, motioning to the book. "I left it there for someone who might need it." Curiosity piqued, Sarah began to converse with the stranger, David. He was an artist who had embarked on a journey of self-discovery after a life-altering accident. His zest for life and his ability to find beauty in every moment left a profound impact on Sarah. Over the next few weeks, Sarah and David's chance encounter evolved into a deep friendship. They shared stories, dreams, and fears, each providing a new perspective to the other. David encouraged Sarah to pursue her passion for photography, a hobby she had long abandoned. He introduced her to hidden gems around the city, teaching her to find beauty in the ordinary. One day, as they strolled through a park ablaze with autumn colors, David revealed a secret project he had been working on – a mural that aimed to capture the essence of change and transformation. Sarah was captivated by the concept and offered to help him bring the mural to life through her photography. Their collaboration ignited a spark within Sarah. As she captured the vibrant brushstrokes and intricate details of David's mural, she rediscovered her love for photography. The project also caught the attention of a local art gallery, leading to an unexpected opportunity for both Sarah and David to showcase their talents. The gallery exhibition was a resounding success, drawing in a diverse crowd of art enthusiasts. Sarah's photographs complemented David's mural in a symphony of colors and emotions. The "Life Changer" exhibit, as they called it, became a testament to the transformative power of embracing change and the magic that can emerge from a single chance encounter. News of their exhibit spread, and Sarah and David found themselves invited to art shows, workshops, and even a TEDx talk, where they shared their inspiring journey. Their newfound purpose not only transformed their own lives but also touched the lives of countless others who had the privilege of experiencing their art. As the years passed, Sarah and David's friendship deepened into a profound love. They continued to create art that celebrated change, and their story became a beacon of hope for those seeking a new direction in life. In the heart of the city, Brewing Serendipity stood as a reminder that life's most extraordinary moments often stem from the simplest encounters. Sarah's decision to seek shelter from the rain on that fateful day had led her on a path of self-discovery, artistic expression, and love. And as the rain continued to fall outside, Sarah and David's journey together unfolded like a masterpiece, painting the canvas of their lives with vibrant strokes of joy, purpose, and the transformative magic of change.

Flow
Resilience is built, over time. We are forced to be resilient in the face of things that feel soul crushing at times. Things happen that suck the life out of us and make us question everything we know or at least we thought we knew about ourselves. Because somewhere amongst these chaos is the only time we feel something and we humans would give up our lives to just “feel” something, anything. We catch ourselves spiralling at the hands of people we love, and even when we know that it's time to let them go their own way, we still hold on, raging a war inside and around us. We are addicted to the chaos , to the burning , to the heartache ,that we would much rather lose ourselves and everything we believe in than lose the only thing that makes us feel something. We all claim to love ourselves as this has become a social “trend” by now but if we actualy respected ourselves , we would give up almost all those things that we hold so dear in our lives . See, the thing is we dont always put the things that serve us at a high pedestal , mostly it's just the things that are similar or familiar to what we already had in our lives . Be it instability, chaos, inconsistency , if that's what we have had to encounter our whole lives, chances are that's exactly what we would continue to worship our whole lives too. But the real tragedy is not that we keep on idealizing toxicity , the real tragedy is not being able to differentiate between true admiration for something or just the addiction to familairity . The real targedy is never being able to recognise when and where we are biased, prejusiced and hell bent towards our own manifestations. Sometimes in life, a reality check is something that we have known for ages, something that we believe in our cores, and yet somehow manage to ignore because of our biases towards what we love. As humans, all we ever do in life is love. We love each other, we love ourselves, we love the expected outcomes, we love our addictions, we love almost everything and anything that makes us feel in control. Or even gives us the illusion of being in control. We often tend to forget that there is no such thing as control, there never was, such a thing never existed. We have no control over who exits and enters our lives, we have no control over our passions and desires, we might want to kill for something today and be unbothered by its existence tomorrow. This is the irony of being human, the pain that revolves around our own helplessness. We desire everything and nothing at the same time, most of our desires aren’t even our own, these are things that we think we want, but actually don’t.
