WRITERS’ CORNER

“The true alchemists do not change lead into gold; they change the world into

words”.

HAPPINESS!

Are you upset?

Worried about your appearance?

Sick of doing the same thing?

Every lock has its own key.

Maybe you’ve just lost your key.

Sometimes, patience might be the key to it.

So, smile and spread it.

‘Happiness can never be brought unless shared.’

THANK YOU!

Thank you for staying by my side, when no one was there

Thank you for believing in me, when no one else did

Thank you for standing up for me, when I didn't stand up for myself

Thank you for preventing me from going back to toxic people, when I wasn't able to realize their

toxicity

Thank you for putting up with me, when I was being mad at you

Thank you for helping me find myself, when I felt completely lost

We might not meet and hang out every day, but I know that you'd always be there for my 2 am rants

and 2 pm chats.

Thanks for everything, my best friend!
