A Beautiful Heart - Inspiring Story

The more hurt and pain you have gone through in life, the stronger and more beautiful your heart will be...

One day, a young man was standing in the middle of the town proclaiming that he had the most beautiful heart in the whole valley.
A large crowd gathered and they all admired his heart for it was perfect. There was not a mark or a flaw in it. Yes, they all agreed it truly was the most beautiful heart they had ever seen. The young man was very proud and boasted more loudly about his beautiful heart.
Suddenly, an old man appeared at the front of the crowd and said, "Why your heart is not nearly as beautiful as mine."
The crowd and the young man looked at the old man's heart. It was beating strongly, but it was full of scars. It had places where pieces had been removed and other pieces put in, but they didn't fit quite right and there were several jagged edges. In fact, in some places there were deep gouges where whole pieces were missing.
The people stared. How can he say his heart is more beautiful? The young man looked at the old man's heart and saw its state and laughed.
"You must be joking," he said.
"Compare your heart with mine. Mine is perfect and yours is a mess of scars and tears."
"Yes," said the old man,
"Yours is perfect looking but I would never trade mine with you. You see, every scar represents a person to whom I have given my love - I tear out a piece of my heart and give it to them, and often they give me a piece of their heart which fits into the empty place in my heart. But because the pieces aren't exact, I have some rough edges, which I cherish, because they remind me of the love we shared. Sometimes I have given pieces of my heart away, and the other person hasn't returned a piece of his heart to me. These are the empty gouges - giving love is taking a chance. Although these gouges are painful, they stay open, reminding me of the love I have for these people too, and I hope someday they may return and fill the space I have waiting for them. So now do you see what true beauty is?"
The young man stood silently with tears running down his cheeks. He walked up to the old man, reached into his perfect young and beautiful heart, and ripped a piece out. He offered it to the old man with trembling hands.

The old man took his offering, placed it in his heart and then took a piece from his old scarred heart and placed it in the wound in the young man's heart. It fits, but not perfectly, as there were some jagged edges.

The young man looked at his heart. It was not perfect anymore but more beautiful than ever, since love from the old man's heart flowed into his.
They embraced and walked away side by side.
How sad it must be to go through life with a whole heart.
Remember... Work like you don't need the money. Love like you've never been hurt. Dance like nobody is watching.
What good is your heart if you have never given it to someone? What good is your heart if you stop loving? You were given your heart to share, love, hurt, smile and feel emotions so allow your heart to beat and beat loudly! Love conquers all. Love yourself and others will run towards your loving beating heart! Hence, go through life spreading your love and be loved in return and you'll live a richer life than a billionaire.

R i n d u

Diantara kemeriahan dan bintang malam,
aku memilih sunyi..
Dimana telah kutanam banyak rindu untukmu
Untuk kesekian kalinya aku merasa kau begitu jauh,
meski kita masih berteduh dibawah langit yang sama..
Sayang, jika kau percaya langit adalah satu..
akan kunyanyikan rindu ini lewat angin, lewat sunyi dan denting malam...
I Miss you...

Dadali - Disaat Aku Mencintaimu

"Bagaimana caranya kau bisa memutuskan jatuh cinta pada seseorang, sementara kau tak pernah bisa menjamin pria itu tidak akan mematahkan hatimu dalam waktu dekat?!"


(from Heather Mcelhatton Novel, Jennifer Johnson is Sick of Being Single) 

Curahan Hati (3)

Terkadang aku merasa lelah....
Lelah mengobati satu demi satu sakit hati yang pernah kualami dalam perjalanan cintaku..
Lelah menahan air mata untuk luka yang pernah digoreskan dalam hatiku..
Entah kapan ini semua akan berakhir...

In My Heart Forever ~ Dihatiku Selamanya (by Taylor Chyntia)

The time is come to let you go

Waktunya telah tiba untuk melepasmu pergi
Free to fly high above this world

Bebas untuk terbang tinggi di atas dunia ini
Where the flowers forever bloom and the ultimate love fills the space

Dimana bunga-bunga selalu mekar dan cinta sejati mengitarinya
 
In my attempt to try to keep you

Dalam usahaku mencoba untuk menahanmu
I've only been able to hold the anger

Aku hanya bisa menahan kemarahan
Not realizing that I have to let you go

Tanpa menyadari bahwa aku harus melepasmu pergi
I can't hold on

Aku tak bisa bertahan

I'll no more keep your pain alive,

Aku tak ingin lebih lama menahan rasa sakitmu,
I won't try to hold you down.

Aku tak akan mencoba untuk memintamu turun
I'll let you fly on to higher ground

Aku akan biarkan kau terbang ke tempat yang lebih tinggi.

My grief has left a numbness, as if this isn't real

Kesedihanku tak terhitung lagi, andai saja ini bukan kenyataan
You are in my heart forever,

Kau ada dihatiku selamanya,
but I know I have to let you free.

tapi aku tahu aku harus melepasmu pergi.

Soar high, laugh as a child that feels the joy of the moment

Melambung tinggi, tertawa seperti anak-anak yang merasakan kebahagiaan saat itu  
Play among the rivers flowing through the hills.

Bermain di antara sungai yang mengalir melintasi bukit.
Roam the fields of daisies, fly to the top of the mountains

Merasakan wangi bunga aster, terbang ke puncak gunung.

With closed eyes, I see you among the flowers,

Dengan mata tertutup, aku melihatmu diantara bunga-bunga,
High above the clouds.

Tinggi di atas awan.
 
Your presence blows through me with the breeze

Kehadiranmu meniupku bersama angin
Your smile beams down on through the sun

Senyummu menyembul melalui matahari
The full moon brings the light of your laughter to my mind

Bulan purnama membawa cahaya tawamu ke pikiranku

And the Butterfly in all its splendor reminds me of your beauty and freedom now

Dan sekarang kupu-kupu dalam semua kemegahannya mengingatkanku pada keindahan dan kebebasanmu.
Leaving your love for me lingering in my world.

Meninggalkan cintamu berlama-lama diduniaku.

Cinta Tak Berujung

Tak ada yang tahu kapan cinta itu datang dan mengapa dia harus pergi tanpa pesan. Tak ada pintu untuk masuk dan keluar, semuanya mengalir seperti air yang tak pernah berhenti. 

Cemburu, senang, sedih, sakit hanyalah permainan hati yang kita perankan dan selalu kita atasnamakan CINTA. Tidak ada alasan kita terpuruk karena cinta walau airmata harus mengalir, karena cinta akan selalu memberikan kekuatan kepada setiap hati yang lemah untuk bangkit, menatap masa depan yang lebih baik. Cinta akan selalu mencairkan kebekuan hati dan terus mengalir dalam pembuluh darah yang tak berujung.
