All that glitters is not gold: the journey of my self-discovery

The glorious lamp of heaven, the sun. Life is full of opportunity and beauty, as long as you are willing to fight for it.

What Will People Say

Sameen nearly stumbled in her rush, breezed past a corner, just about dodged an incoming pedestrian who yelled something about patience behind her, and only just relaxed when she could see the cafe's sign fifty meters away.
