The human mind behaves irrationally at times, driven by love, life and dreams. There are many ways of breaking a heart. Stories are full of hearts broken by love, but what really breaks a heart is taking away its dreams – whatever the dream might be. You can rise from anything. You can completely recreate yourself.

Sometimes you will never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory.
The human mind behaves irrationally at times, driven by love, life and dreams. There are many ways of breaking a heart. Stories are full of hearts broken by love, but what really breaks a heart is taking away its dreams – whatever the dream might be. You can rise from anything. You can completely recreate yourself. Nothing is permanent. You are not stuck. You have choices. You can have new thoughts. You can learn something new. You can create new habits. All that matters is that you decide today and never look back. The authors have penned their ordinary hearts out, keeping an extraordinary view of the strange world we dwell in. No quatrain was started with whose end the authors knew. They were discovered in time. The great human life and moods are presented together and adapted in a common language. Enjoy!
