Farewell King of the North !!!

Young wolf no more.
This is what he showed to us during his last episodes in Game of Thrones. A braver, more fierce, tougher, and a stronger Robb Stark. I never imagined he would die early in the series. (Well I should've read the book... but it will still be heartbreaking though) He ended up being betrayed and stabbed to death, as well as his wife & unborn child during the Red Wedding; His father was beheaded, and his mother was cut through her throat. Robb never got the chance to see his siblings again before he died. Poor Stark family. The tragedy that happened to them was pathetic and gruesome. Well, the whole series was undeniably bloody and expected to be adverse at some point. I just can't accept, the way they died! How terrible.
Somehow, Robb Stark still had a happy ending as he married the love of his life, Talisa. It wasn't easy at first, as he was already vowed to marry someone else. He bravely fought for his happiness. I guess this is where he became victorious, not in terms of the war, but more for his heart. Imagine his smile, the way he stares at his Queen like no one is more beautiful in the world than her, the way he holds her waist, grabs her to his arms and slips his fingers through her long black hair. The most painful scene was when he got up, tried to reach for his Queen and his unborn prince. That was totally heart breaking. 

On a brighter note, we will all be waiting for a year to heal this pain. I am definitely looking forward for Jon Snow, and the rest of the "wolves" to uncover the future of the Seven Kingdoms.
You will be missed, Robb Stark. ♥

Supreme Love & Respect

Should I give up or should I just keep chasing pavements?
At one point in your life, you will need to step up for yourself and for what makes you happy. It feels much better to finally let go and learn the value yourself once again. After all the disappointments and doubts comes that moment where your heart will slowly burst into pieces and breakdown; Suddenly you will start listening to your brain, or to what you think is necessary. You will see how being carefree and wild becomes more satisfying. Through the process, you might end up hurting each other but it is worth the pain. The love that you once shared was tough yet true. Your weakness became your strength, and that strength became your happiness. The promise of supreme love and respect has always been there. But not until something pulled the trigger and slowly took everything away. All turned into nothing if for at the end of the day, that so-called “respect” was nowhere to be found.
As I moved on, I am thankful for my choices.  I firmly believe that when the right time comes everything will fall into places. Answers will come in time, like how it heals all the wounds of the past. No more chasing of pavements, no more "what ifs", no more lies. So I just breathe in, and breathe out. I let it all go and let it all pass.

Two Words

Never give up. Stay strong.
We are born to live. And living in this world, means being happy when everything fails, being  brave when everything stumbles, staying strong when everything gets tough. Not even one of us is blessed enough to be immuned to all of the pain and the sufferings this entire world has set for us. We are simply human beings. We are vulnerable. We are special.

Our outlook in life greatly affects how we pursue our happiness through difficult times. Our faith will always be shaken but we just need to keep it high and hold on a little tighter. Dig in harder for there is that sustainable amount of strength deep within ourselves. Embrace all of it with the determination to fight and eagerness to survive.

And now, more than ever, we should enjoy life and stay strong.
