OUR LIFE 💝
Life is like a long road. Some walk slowly on this road, some run, and some stop occasionally. But everyone has to walk in the end. This story is about that road of life—the story of our lives.
Ryan was a very ordinary boy since childhood. He had no big dreams, and no small sorrow could hold him back forever. His father used to say,
"Life is not just about growing up, it is about becoming a human being."
This saying was deeply embedded in Ryan's mind.
School life was colorful. Friends, playing in the field, the worries of the night before exams—all of it seemed very easy. Back then, "Our life" meant laughing together, running together, and dreaming about the future.
But times started changing. School ended, everyone started walking on different paths. Some got a chance at a good college, some didn't. Ryan realized—life is no longer just a story of laughter, now it has responsibilities, decisions.
While studying at university, Ryan tasted real defeat for the first time. He failed an exam. That night, he was silently staring at the ceiling. It seemed like he couldn't do anything. That's when he remembered his mother's words—
"Defeat is not the end of life, defeat is the beginning of learning."
The next day, Ryan started anew. Slowly, but firmly. He learned to understand—Our life is actually like a book; not all pages are beautiful, but all pages are necessary.
Years passed. Jobs, responsibilities, crowds of people—everything combined made life more complicated. Friends no longer have the time they used to, parents' hair is tangled, and his own face shows signs of fatigue. Still, Ryan doesn't stop.
One day, he opened his old diary. There were written his childhood dreams. He laughed. Not all dreams came true, but he understood—he didn't give up, and that's the biggest victory.
Ryan realized then,
Our life doesn't just mean succeeding,
Our life means trying, falling, and getting up again.
Our life means not losing hope even if you walk alone.
In the end, life taught him a great truth—
Life is not perfect, but it is beautiful.
Because this life is ours, absolutely ours.
