What advice would you give to your teenage self?
Dear myself
I write to you with utmost ardor, expressing my joy that you handled the experiences well. It’s also absolutely fine to score ZERO in Math and receive punishment for the same. It’s okay to admit your failure, take up the courage to face challenges, and tackle more difficult papers. They’re not truly challenging if you analyze them properly. So, don’t limit yourself to your comfort zone but go beyond limits, as the sky is the limit.
I have been contemplating how people are blessed in different ways. I used to complain a lot about my life, feeling that I am not a lucky person and that I constantly stumble upon obstacles that set me back to square one. However, I have come to realize that I am blessed beyond compare, especially when I see how those around me can enjoy life with the minimum they have. This realization has been an eye-opener for me.
In whispers and hushed tones, let tales unfold,
Of a presence that brightens, a spirit untold.
She, strict yet caring, a paradox rare,
Leaves an indelible mark, a presence to bear.
Gossip, oh let it dance in the air,
About the woman who can the mountains dare.
Anger, a tempest, yet she tames the might,
With a smile so cheerful, calming the storm’s spite.
In the tapestry of words, let them weave,
Her essence, a tale that hearts may believe.
A light in the day, her aura so bright,
A symphony of strength and kindness, a rare delight.
Through corridors of gossip, let them roam,
Of her grace that turns every house into a home.
With whispers that echo, in admiration they sway,
For the woman whose presence lights up the day.
I could try scuba diving for the first time. I have a fear of water, also known as hydrophobia, which has prevented me from learning how to swim or even approaching bodies of water. Nevertheless, I hold great admiration for those who can swim and dive in the water fearlessly. I aspire to conquer this phobia and endeavor to experience activities like scuba diving and swimming.
