Hold on just yet

A story on hope and faith

By Hridya SharmaPublished 2 years ago • 1 min read

After losing her parents, Anaya felt that she was living her life in an oblivion

She lost her interest in her day to day activities, and felt the world around her moving too fast.

Until one day, a stranger entered her life,

He gave her a rose.. She immediately shouted at the boy and told him to stop flirting with her.

To which he replied,” I am not flirting with you miss, I want to tell you something about life

Anaya replied,” huh”

He said, just like this rose is beautiful with its colored petals and its natural scent, it brings peace and calmness to our heart. And its thorns can hurt us and even make us bleed at times. But does that mean we stop picking up the rose and admiring its beauty, or gifting it to someone we love is a form of a bouquet?

The answer is no.

The same is with life, life brings happy moments that bring peace and serenity, but it has sad moments like those thorns which even make us bleed, our souls drowning into misery. But that doesn’t mean we should stop living our life. A life spent while feeling alive in every second is a life worth living,

Anaya had tears in her eyes, she realized that she was just breathing to survive and not alive

That stranger brought her dead soul to life
