Life Is Like a Box of Chocolates

When people ask, How can I be happy? they often forget that they celebrate happiness but rarely sit with sadness. You don’t have to glorify sadness, but you can acknowledge it, accept it, and let it be. Most of our unhappiness comes from trying to fix things that aren’t in our control—holding onto a perfect version of life that doesn’t exist.

Life is like a box of chocolates, filled with different experiences. Imagine you have a box with 50 types of chocolates. You try one—it’s good, but not great. The next one? Amazing. You love it. Excited, you try a third—it’s creamy, deep, and just your type. You wonder why you didn’t get this one first. But that’s life. You had to go through two chocolates before finding this one.

Then comes the fourth—it’s rich, smooth, and makes you happy. But when you try the fifth, it’s bitter and ruins your taste. Do you stop there? Do you cry and decide you don’t deserve good chocolates? No. You don’t lock yourself in a room, questioning your worth. You know there are plenty of chocolates left in the box, waiting to be tasted.

That’s exactly how life works. The only difference? In a chocolate box, you can see all your options, so you feel secure. In life, you can’t see what’s coming next—that uncertainty makes you anxious. But if you trust the process, you’ll know that something good is always on its way.

Every experience—good or bad—teaches you something. If you never tried those first two chocolates, how would you know what suits your taste? Life is the same. Unless you experience different things, you won’t know what you truly like, what you need, and what you deserve.

So don’t let one bitter chocolate convince you that life is all bad. There are many more waiting for you—ones you’ll love, ones you never expected, ones that will make all the bad ones worth it. Be patient, trust yourself, and stop expecting from others. If you must hold an expectation, hold it from yourself.

Many people and situations won’t offer you much, but that’s not a reflection of your worth—it’s their inability. Their loss, not yours. Keep going, because life is full of chocolates, and the best ones are yet to come.

    Amazing your simile, I want to add a little thing but I hope that doesn't ruin it.
    You have to take care because maybe there is a poisoned or spoiled piece, so you have to know when you stop eating it. Also you have to have a water to remove that bad taste of the bad ones, something you know it's taste if you tired or wanted to take a break from chocolate overtaste.

You can have the whole world and still yearn for one person

You can have the whole world And still yearn for one person You can have all the love to give And still hate someone passionately  You can have a party at this moment  And still feel like you're holding a funeral You can be surrounded by a huge crowd of people  And still miss someone desperately  You can listen to songs you love And still nothing might ever hit the right strings of your heart that once someone's voice did You can have all the happiness in this world And still nothing might take away your sorrows You can hear the deafening music in a ballroom watching everyone dance And still you hear nothing more loudly than your own heart beating  You can have your script all prepared  And still you feel at loss of words when you meet him You can say say say say and keep saying And still feel only misunderstood  You can do do do and do everything for them  And still hear them calling you selfish  You can sob sob sob every tear And still feel...

But the world will always/sometimes misunderstand you

I tell them my story, Everything, Everything  But it falls apart. Not because my story is over, But because they thought They are the protagonist. I tell her something inexplicable; I still tell her a lot. Words don't find meanings; Sentences don't know how to explain things. I feel hopeless, In all the promises we did. "I can't stay", i sighed in pain She left first another day. Words dont make sense, And sometimes they make too much sense that it hurts. They have been overhyped by poets and story tellers, Because i don't know which word to pick, How to dress it up, How to muster up my courage Before i say it loud. Because i dont know If they will understand  Because i dont know  why my heart keeps breaking. Words have been too underrated too Because of those like me who failed at words Who couldn't master up this language much But at the end, When you fail at anything in life You sit and blame yourself first Because at that time  you are both a sort of a...

texts i sent to myself when i was hurting

[16/03, 1:25 am] Your emotions are pretty amazing, i admire them all, for how deeply you feel. [17/03, 4:02 pm]  You will never be too much for someone who really really really wants you. Always remember this. Those who call you too much just wants you to follow their terms and conditions, dont fall for it, they dont love you. [1/04, 2:25 pm]  Those who give up on you and the connection never actually loved you. Trust me. [1/04, 4:27 pm] The world feels a little lonely when you dont love yourself [12/04, 11:27 am]  I am a firm believer of whatever happens happens for the good [12/04, 3:28 pm]  You can't lose someone who actually desired you with the same intensity as yours. You only lose when it's one sided affection and desire. [17/04, 4:39 pm] We all leave someone to have someone and that someone leaves us for some other someone. It happens, it just happens. We all have left someone, we all have been left by someone in our lives [17/04, 4:41 pm]  My tears have...
