Mahim: glares, fists clenched Y u do it? Wut did I do 2 u?
Stranger
so you weren't conscious for it?
Nah, bro, I was flying high. But little did I know, fate had other plans for me. As I was walking through that dark alley, some shady dude jumped me.
Stranger
damn
Yeah, it was a whole "Life or Death" situation. I thought I was done for, but something inside me just... wouldn't give up.
Stranger
well, it sounds like you fought against it and lived so i would say thats a win
Yeah, I guess you could say that. But let me tell you, it wasn't just about fighting physical danger. It was about fighting my own fears, my own doubts.
Stranger
and you won
Yeah, I did. In that moment, I realized that life is too short to let fear hold you back. I had to confront my deepest fears and embrace the unknown.
Stranger
and what scared you the most?
Well, what scared me the most was the thought of never fulfilling my dreams, of letting life's hardships define me.
Stranger
and did you fulfill them?
Hell yeah, I did! After that near-death experience, I made a promise to myself to live life on my terms.
Stranger
thats awesome
Yeah, it was. After that, I started pursuing my passion for writing with everything I had.
Stranger
and look where you are now, you've published books and won awards for them
Damn straight, I have! Now, I'm not gonna lie, it's been a bumpy ride. There have been times when I doubted myself, when the criticism got to me.
Stranger
but you pushed through it
Yeah, I did. But you know what they say - "The only thing we have in common is the struggle." And I guess that's why I keep pushing forward, because I know there are others out there who are facing their own battles.
Stranger
yeah, but its hard, i sometimes feel like i'm drowning in my own failures. i wish i could just start over like you did
Hey, I get it. Failure sucks, big time. But here's the thing - it's part of the journey.
Stranger
yeah, i guess you're right
Look, nobody ever achieves success without failing a few times. It's just part of the deal. So, instead of drowning in your failures, learn from them.
Stranger
alright, that makes sense
That's the spirit! Failure is just a stepping stone to success. And hey, if you ever need a little motivation, just remember - I've been through worse.
Stranger
okay, thanks. im curious, do you still collect rare books?
You know it! Books have always been my sanctuary. They provide a connection to the past, a glimpse into new worlds, and endless inspiration.
