When one thing ends, another thing begins. Sometimes ending something hurts, but new beginning is always worth the pain. Soo true. We can always make a new beginning keeping in mind the lessons that are learnt in the past. This life is some kind of crazy, it’s complicated, hard and busy. When the clouds clear and sun comes out it is pleasant until it swings back to the other way again. But we should never GIVE UP because beauty of life is in motion. Keep moving with your work, relationship, family and friends.
