Ocean of sadness - Short real love story (Breakup without my fault)

My name is Rahul & I am from New Delhi India,
I am in love with a girl for like two years now. I met her when
I was in high school. It was love at first sight. I simply couldn't
take my eyes off her. But I hid my feelings for her, since she
had a BF and they seemed madly in love. But I kept loving her
from a distance and after some time I became one of her
good friend. Later I found out that she knew that I was in love
with her and always liked me but not just on the same level.
But that's later to the story. After being friends with her, we
used to hang out some times.
Each time I passed with her made me very happy. After few
months I found out that she and her boyfriend are fighting
constantly. She used to cry a lot for this. I always stayed with
her as a good friend and comforted her to my best. And god
knows I have never tried to take this as a chance and try to
break them apart. One time they had a really big fight over
something and after some days they broke up. She got really
very upset and cried a lot. After a month when she was finally
over him, she proposed me on her own!!! Although it was just
a matter of time before I was gonna do it, I just couldn't find
the right moment. I immediately shared my feelings for her
too. And at last we became a couple. It was all good for
almost a year and those were the golden days of my life, but
life just doesn't stay on a happy corner. Her old boy friend
came back and wanted her in his life back. But she said no.
after that she started behaving differently, she doesn't talk too
much, doesn't want to return my calls. And one day she came
to me and said that she is sorry, she could not carry on what
she was doing. It would be wrong for her to be with me, when
her heart is thinking of her ex. She said this wouldn't be fair to
me. I did not say anything to her, but my whole life broke
apart. I don't feel like doing anything now a days. I heard that
she and her boyfriend are getting along just fine. And I seem
to be floating in the ocean of sadness...

Peace of mind - Inspiring Short Story

Once
Buddha was walking from one town to another town with a
few of his followers. This was in the initial days. While they
were travelling, they happened to pass a lake. They stopped
there and Buddha told one of his disciples, I am thirsty. Do
get me some water from that lake there.
The disciple walked up to the lake. When he reached it, he
noticed that some people were washing clothes in the water
and, right at that moment, a bullock cart started crossing
through the lake. As a result, the water became very muddy,
very turbid. The disciple thought, How can I give this muddy
water to Buddha to drink! So he came back and told Buddha,
The water in there is very muddy. I don't think it is fit to drink.
After about half an hour, again Buddha asked the same
disciple to go back to the lake and get him some water to
drink. The disciple obediently went back to the lake. This time
he found that the lake had absolutely clear water in it. The
mud had settled down and the water above it looked fit to be
had. So he collected some water in a pot and brought it to
Buddha.
Buddha looked at the water, and then he looked up at the
disciple and said, See what you did to make the water clean.
You let it be … and the mud settled down on its own and you
got clear water… Your mind is also like that. When it is
disturbed, just let it be. Give it a little time. It will settle down
on its own. You don't have to put in any effort to calm it
down. It will happen. It is effortless.
What did Buddha emphasize here? He said, It is
effortless.Having ‘peace of mind’ is not a strenuous job; it is
an effortless process. When there is peace inside you, that
peace permeates to the outside. It spreads around you and in
the environment, such that people around start feeling that
peace and grace.
