Even though you’re growing up, you should never stop having fun said Nina Dobrev.
At least at some point in our lives,we sigh and realise that there’s something’s that’s been missing.Even if you picture your life to be a jigsaw puzzle you need all the pieces to fit in.Life’s a roller coaster ride.It’s too short to get succumbed by stress or regrets.
Fill in your chapters with memories and smiles.
