10.04 p.m - just recovered from viral fever

Lately, I experienced lots of bad memories. It seems, all of those were coming in the same time without giving me space to breathe. This is a life, either I like or not, though. 

The good thing from these occurrences is my passion to write bigger than before, looks like the ideas come up easily, effortless. Thanks God, at least I can post a blog that represents my feeling in the moment as well as practicing my English writing. This writing only my thoughts, no other purposes.

"You Ruin Me"

Everytime we send greetings to someone, we wish their dreams come true.
Yes indeed, each of us has many desires in life and wants all of them to be real one day.
Unfortunately most of aspirations are often left only as dreams. Why so?
Maybe because we do nothing to make them true. Maybe the majority of people are just dreamers and never do anything escept dreaming. Friquently I hear from my friends: "I wish I could...", " I would like...", "My dream is..", "I really want..." But at the same tim

... In the distance, he vaguely sees a girl smiling ...,

It was just a flash back of thoughts, the girl smiling was his wife twenty two years back, he recalled the memory of her, she didn’t change a bit during their long time of marriage, she stayed the same.

'Just look around you' she told me, so I'll describe the social environment I feel sometimes with a sort of funny story. You can judge it after reading...
