A/N: Before you get ready to pelt me with rotten eggs, read this. No, it's not a story. Because Fanfiction site doesn't allow me to add this as an individual One-shot. So, I cheat. But hope you will like it. See you at the bottom, guys.

Building Your Bricks

People, as in you and I, struggle through the daily horrors. We all have one to many. But how we survive through them is what seals the deal.

The train of thought is fast. Much faster than the speed of lightening. But if you persevere, you will see how the shapes of your pearl of wisdom takes into a defined form.

I have many regrets too, starting from birth till now. But so do we all. Trying to repent, wallowing in guilt forever would get you nowhere.

Instead, slowly let go. It's hard, I get it. But it is better to do it than to live with it.

I am not writing this for fun sake. Or I might be, regardless. I barely understand the impulse behind the motive of writing this. But, deep down, I have this hunch that sometimes, a different outlet of letting go is a must in everybody's life.

Which we all want to have. The outlet, I mean. Or want to know about it. Period.

Because People, the world out there is like a Kaleidoscopes.

Wonderful to the eyes, yet still dreadful to live.

But as the saying goes, beauty is in the eyes of Beholder. And it's true.

Because sometimes, the blessings do come in the perfectly wrapped disguise.

Belief – the word is so overrated. Or so it seems. Because everybody uses it to encourage somebody.

But while it could be - or is - a real good deed to do, it could be a fatal downfall.

Yes, it is good to believe. But do have facts. And common sense.

Because believing is not about having faith that everything is going to be alright. Believing is all about listening to your inner voice, which clues you in all the right or wrong situations.

Seems like a bitter truth. Yet the truth is just that, The Truth.

I'd read it somewhere, that anybody can downplay somebody, ridicule – to be more precise. As this is a form of scorn, which is so easy to accomplish. Bullying is everywhere. You just don't see it, but you can feel it.

But those who lift others are the ones who are the strongest. The real people. The Heroes.

Making atonements for the sins you'd long ago committed is a tough road to tow. But once you are in that path, even when it seems rocky, don't let go.

Because the compensation is right at that corner of that darkest end of the tunnel.

As I said before, it's all about perseverance.

And it is then, my dear fellow reader, you will be all New... to build new bricks for your own house.

Peace.

A/N: Greetings everyone. Just posting this out of my insanity. This is JUST that - inspirational One-shot. Dealing with some hard stuff, I am. Don't have any outlet. Or so I thought. Because each one of us has something to deal with the stuff. And mine is through the writing. Wanting to get it out, no flames. Please. However, comments are welcome. Feel free to do so. Thank you. Hope it lifts your mood a little.
