Brave, unconcerned, mocking, violent-thus wisdom wants us: she is a woman and always loves only a warrior


There are 8,165,804,775 people in this world.
8 billion thoughts, opinions, beliefs, desires, dislikes.

8 billion people are currently breathing, growing, living, learning, seeing, hearing, asking, hating, loving, deciding, hurting, sleeping, crying, laughing, hoping, working, dying, begging, rejecting, embracing, moving, standing, sitting, simultaneously.

Each individual has their own set of beliefs, patterns, religions, habits, quirks, mind frame, cultural, future, past and present.

Many are searching for love, hating love, in love, ambivalent towards love, heartbroken, basking in love or leaving a love.

All are faced with different demons, whether it’s surviving that day, oppression, keeping a meal down, finding a meal, getting into college, not jumping off a bridge, finishing a book, escaping the sex traffic industry, finding a home, fixing a home, losing a loved one, finding a loved one or simply getting out of bed.

277, 087 birthdays today.

114,365 endings today.

There are 8,165,804,865 chances to meet the love of your life, a best friend, a soulmate, a new beginning, a person with a plot twist.

Although you are small number, you are the only version of you amongst 8 billion. No one will look, breath, laugh, write, cry, cook, sing, skip, dance, read, understand, kiss, hug, love, hate, create, draw, listen, roam and live like you do.

There are 8,165,804,991 people now living when I finished this post.
