Realizations Quotes Novels & Stories

She would like to share a simple quote that she believes in and that inspired her ever since. “If you have the talent, showcase it. If you have a dream, make it come true. Don’t be afraid of judgments, because it is part of our journey, that will mold us to be a better person. Trust the process, and everything will fall into the right places at the end of the day.

C H A P T E R 4 : J U L I E T The people who say you are not facing reality actually mean that you are not facing their idea of reality. Reality is above all else a variable. With a firm enough commitment, you can sometimes create a reality that did not exist before. — Margaret Halsey, No Laughing Matter ~ “That’s Juliet Matthias and one of our girls.” I look at her in disbelief. I pinch myself to make sure I am not dreaming.

He and I turn red in embarrassment, but nonetheless, he turns to me and wimnks an eye with a bright smile. I giggle, glancing at the quotes and sure of who wrote them. I silently turn my body to see him. The smile on my face making him turn red as he averts his sight between me and the teacher. He clears his throat and runs his hands against the side of his pants. "Ahem! Of course." He sighs and stands straight to read out loud. "No matter what happens, enjoy life because you only get one and it doesn't last long. . . . .-Epicurus." He smirks and squints his eye at me, making me roll my eyes and turn to face him.

She was gone. Didn't want him anymore. Vincent charged it, ripped it down, smashed it to the floor. He punched his own smiling face, over and over. Even when the glass sliced deep and blood dripped, he didn't stop. Like breaking it could undo everything. Only when it was unrecognizable did he finally quit. He staggered toward the living room—then froze. Next to the trash, something caught his eye. He knelt, picked up a few torn scraps. And then he saw it—two words that knocked the air out of him:

ZARA (cont’d) “I got scared. Really scared. For a long time, I thought I had to disappear just to survive. But lately… something’s shifting. And I’m learning—it’s okay to be seen. Even when you’re not perfect. Especially then.” The comment thread moved like a heartbeat, alive with love and light: 💬 You’re giving us courage to be real too. 💬 This is the Zara we’ve been waiting for. 💬 You are enough. 💬 No filter needed. Her gaze flicked to that one comment—“You’re giving us courage to be real too.” Her lips parted slightly, eyes softening with something deeper than pride. She pressed a hand to her chest, gently. ZARA “Thank you. For reminding me that being real… is still powerful.”

My mind was consumed by the mystery of his presence in my imagination. Unable to find rest, I decided to browse on my phone until fatigue overcame me. While scrolling, a quote captured my attention: “You can live your whole life not realizing that what you’re looking for is right in front of you.” I couldn't look away from the screen as I absorbed those words. It felt as if the moon goddess herself was speaking directly to me through this simple message. Suddenly, everything seemed to fall into place, and I sensed that I had found answers to my innermost questions.

Not imagined. Not uncertain. Real. Something is right there.

Not a warning. But a realization. Something was changing.
