When a childhood friend gets married… Utmost happy and sad

“As to marriage or celibacy, let a man take which course he will, he will be sure to repent (Socrates).” In my case — it’s the second, in case of most of my friends — it’s the first, although they have found such good and caring better-halves that I doubt they will ever regret being “chained” by marriage.

Love letters

It was Valentine today and although as far as I remember me, I have celebrated this holiday only once in my life and presently, it is at bay from me and has nothing to do with me, I love seeing people happy, loving, caring and bouncing.

The picture created by the couples in the streets is so great. As they say, you are never old to love, so by couples I never try to imply only the young. There is something magical in seeing elderly people walking hand in hand with a rose and smiles.

Love is beautiful and it’s even more beautiful when it’s expressed in letters. Let’s see what feelings the love letters and poems of famous people convey. Continue reading

Quit relationships in which…

If you are reading this, then you must have some good cause for it and if the cause is that the content of this post refers to you too, then I am very sorry for your bitter experience and let me give you a hug for a better future once you give up on a certain person a.k.a. your love.

Being in a stormy relationship and still choosing to remain by his side, I did not spare me, including my life. One day one of his friends asked me “when are you going to marry?” I said “we are not going,” she said “why?” I said because he is not mature enough to know what a family is and what it is to be a man, a husband and a father.

When a man loves a woman… adorable…

Ronald Reagan — To me, he is one of the people whose life is so much inspiring and whose love breathes so much hope in the worn out inches of one’s heart, that it gives hope there still exists true love — love that respects, cares, trusts and all that it wants is to see and make you happy.

Love that will not lie in your eyes, that will not cheat on you, will never ignore you, or make you feel subordinate,,, love that will never drag you from hair or try to pull you down, love that will never spit in your face in the direct meaning of this word, Continue reading

When you’re once being beaten by love, you always think you’ll never be able to recover from that. You think so until the moment someone appears and makes you believe that your heart hasn’t died yet, that it can still spread its wings and fly high above everything. This is a great feeling. And that’s how you can describe it, a feeling, but how it actually feels Continue reading

Irreplaceable “Things” in Life: My Father

Sometimes as we grow up we start taking our parents for granted. It’s not fair. They say you won’t understand your parents until one day you become a parent yourself! I need not that. So far I have understood every thing my parents have done for me, even if it was against my will I knew it was for my sake. God knows how thankful I am to them for who I am and what they did for me. There have been thousand times when I was so angry with my mom I would think of packing and leaving forever, but those moments of anger always pass and there remains only their love and care.

My mom is a separate topic that’s why I don’t want to talk much about her here, this is for my dad.

My dad … I don’t know if I ever dreamed of having this gift in my life or not. With my dad I feel complete. He is my light in the dark. He’s been with me all my life… Continue reading

The Beautiful Armenian Bride

I am perhaps one of the few ones who have seen one of the most beautiful Armenian brides in my life. You know I have seen thousands of beautiful girls who in no way appeared as beautiful in my eyes as the girl who got married a few months ago. You might think it was her makeup or her dress that made her beautiful. I say no. She was beautiful because she was immensely happy and was conscious of what she was doing and therefore the bright sparkle in her eyes was way more powerful than that of a most expensive diamond. Don’t wanna talk much about that, instead will post some pics as a proof of what I say. Continue reading

It Happened Many Moons Ago

***

It happened many moons ago. A boy was born to a woman who was destined to bring him up on her own. The father was not with them but the boy had a grandpa who taught him everything for which the boy was to be thankful in the rest of his life. Perhaps no one has ever grieved for his grandpa as much as he did after the wise man passed away.

The boy was a wonder-child. He grew up having read every book in their library. At the age of six he was more advanced than any other child of his age. He was gifted, and he didn’t know that with time when he would later in his life become just an ordinary person among the rest, there would be a girl for whom he would keep on being the wonder-boy.

Unknown Reasons…

Photo by Ani Babayan

Sometimes the people you run from are the ones that seem to haunt you all the way throughout your life. These are not the people who you hate but rather who you love but with whom you just can’t be because of reasons that are unknown and yet so powerful. You know only one thing – that without you they’re gonna do better, happier, luckier,,, that they’re gonna smile,,, one thing that’s missing when they are with you because those unknown reasons just don’t let the lips perform that simple lip movement because in reality even that smile that today’s being so masterly faked needs energy coming from the soul.
