Her Heart's Thoughts

Knock,Knock,Knock... Who could it be? When I peeped outside the window, the past was the one standing there, knocking at my door and as the saying goes "When the past comes knocking, don’t answer, it doesn't have anything new to say." As I was reaching for the door, I kept telling myself, I have two choices before me... 1. To open the door  2. To ignore his knock and just pretend there's no one home. "I'm really sorry" He said. I stared and looked at him, not sure of what had heard. He repeated it "I'm really sorry, really" It took him a year to utter these words. He continued by asking "Will you forgive me?" At that moment, I smiled and told him I forgave you a year ago. From his facial expression I could tell that my words had shocked him. So I repeated, "I forgave you a long time ago.

Happiness is a feeling that we all thrive to achieve in life. It's thoughts of the good life, freedom from suffering, flourishing, well-being, joy, prosperity and pleasure. It’s a 9 letter word, which has brought tears and pain to all of us, while trying to experience or achieve it. I've become a victim not once or twice.
