    Answer

    It Ends With Us is a book I read recently. It's by the author Colleen Hoare. It's mainly a story about two teenagers, Atlas and Lily, and how they just handle their life going through high school, adolescence, and just domestic violence at home. Both of them come from very, very different families. However, they have one common determining factor between them, which is domestic violence. The abuse that they've seen their moms go through is just insane, and they connect through that on a different level. They're actually in the same high school, but they never speak to each other until Atlas actually crashes into an empty house next to Lily's villa. When Atlas is homeless and he doesn't have anywhere to go, he just comes and breaks into the house next to Lily's, and Lily helps him with all the daily necessities like clothes and food, medicines and stuff. Furthermore, their friendship blossoms into love, but it doesn't really fructify as Atlas has to leave. This book really gave me a lot of knowledge about domestic abuse and how to deal with it.

    As I joined the IELTS Institution, I got a group of 8 girls, but one of the girls' name was Ronna. She was a married woman and she was of very good nature. She used to behave very politely with everyone and tried to understand everyone. She was happy to share her feelings and as well as others were also happy to listen to her topics. As I started involving in their topics, I think that she is the best person and I ask her to be my friend. I feel so happy that she became my friend and from that day she used to share very openly with me everything. Because she thinks if we share with her, if we share with anyone something, it will make our mind leave from stress and free. So, I also feel happy and enjoy her talks because she is very open-minded to suggest me and even to share everything with me. But also sometimes I feel pity on her because she should not trust everyone. Now there is, in this generation there is no one to trust anyone because people are fake.

    That's a good question. I know I have a friend who talks about his feelings openly, without any thinking about anything around his world or anything about his colleagues or friends. I met him during my college examinations. He was very polite when I first met him, but gradually I started noticing he was very confident. Meanwhile, he likes to talk about things openly, without any care on the world. I asked him about his personality. He was a very confident type of person. He was a good speaker. Then I realized he was a very strict parent. The reason he was very loud and very confident was because of his strict parents. They never let him share his thoughts or his feelings openly in his home. Unlike mine, my parents are very friendly. They were cooperative. We can share our problems and help to find solutions together. But he has a very strict childhood. That's the reason he was very confident. Meanwhile, he likes to share openly, without any fear in his world. Also, he can give feedback straight away, in a blunt way. These things make him an interesting man.

    One of my very close friends who I met in university, maybe in the second year of my academics, we got close because of similar situations and eventually we started getting along really well. I noticed how she greets everyone and she talks to everyone, additionally how she responds to people, whether she is in a good mood or a bad mood, her movement is always very consistent. She also posts a lot on social media, whether it's like her daily blog or a place that she visited, if she went to a cafe or to the mall, she posts about everything and she has nothing to hide really, everything is on her social media and if she ever feels like there is something that she has to deal with, she would come and talk to us about whatever it is and get our opinion on it and she is a very open book, she doesn't mind telling her close friends what is going on in her life or what she is doing or what she is planning to do, it's all very out there and it's a good thing because we know what kind of a person she is and she knows how the people are and who she wants to be with and who she wants to interact with.

    Many people share their opinions directly by face-to-face. Since my childhood, my friend Varshit had a huge impact on me. He tells the direct truth about any person or whoever makes a mistake. My friend Varshit usually tells what is right and what is wrong. And he shares his feelings with me about any person or about me. He tries to avoid mistakes by his direct opinions. Since my childhood, I prefer to have with me. For example, when we are going to a movie, we are crumbled to watch which movie. So he shares his direct opinion that we should watch this. And he gives a clear explanation about the topic and any version of it. He tries to make many changes in my life. And I feel very happy because he is with me. And everyone's opinion matters. He takes the opinions of all and he gives the direct feedback about any person. So I wish he had a great future in sharing the opinions and giving the direct answers. So this is about my person.

    Okay, to speak about a person who is very open to me, I would definitely say about my daughter. Why? Because she is the only person who genuinely is very open to me. She is only four years old and her name is Zaya Tessa George. And to me, I think so, she is very open to me and not any other person. Even I am very open to my mother and likewise, she is also very open to me. And whenever she wants to cry, she can cry with me and whenever she is happy, she shows her gratitude towards me and everything, she is very common. Maybe when we elders are not open up like children. Whenever I was a kid, I was very open with my mother but however, it's not the same nowadays. I have a limit within her and everything. So, when my daughter is very open to me and when she shares her day and shares everything what is happening in between her life, it makes me very happy and I encourage that. I always say her, whatever you want to say me, always you can talk to me. I will always support you and I'm gonna never judge her, right? And I will never judge her. If it is wrong, I will inform her, see this is the thing and you should be more correct or you should be more responsible. I'm not gonna judge her or scold her. However, sometimes she used to hide some mistakes with me. I suppose she can speak to me more openly than this.

    Well, there are people of different kind of nature, like some of them are introvert and some are extrovert. Here today I would like to talk about a person that is very open to share her feelings. She is my friend. Her name is Vikram. She is 21 years old. Well, if I talk about her nature, she is with me since her childhood. So she is very open with me and she shares each and everything about her with me. She don't hesitate to tell me anything like what has happened with her. She tells me everything like she shares her daily routine with me. Apart from this, if I talk about like recent situation, she has taken a good decision in her life to move abroad for her higher education. So she immediately told me like she, her parents has made this decision and she want to go abroad for her higher education. Apart from this, I feel very good when she shares her private things with me and I feel motivated. Moreover, if I talk about her nature, I feel that she is very close to me and it strengthens our bond with each other that we share each and everything.

    So, this person is one of my school friend and she is literally so open-minded, she speak herself really freely and always speak her mind. Whenever she feel bad about something, she just speak it up. And whenever she feel good about it, she just praise that thing. And that's one thing this generation doesn't know because people showing affection is somehow rare in this generation and we don't really do that, sometimes which is really bad. And she literally do that. When she find something good, she praise that. When she find something cute, she praise that. And when she find something weird and bad, she literally talk about it so that issue can be solved. If someone's behavior is bothering her, she directly talk to them so that they can fix their behavior towards everyone. And that's a kind of thing I really like about her that she is so open-minded to speak herself so freely and her feelings so freely. And that kind of people who have that spark should always have their spark. And I really wish she won't lose that spark somehow and I really wish that spark would bring positivity to everyone's life. She is a jolly person who always bring the happiness and clumsiness in our friend circle which is like, you know, a bright side of our friend circle. Because in this generation, everyone is stressed and have some anxiety and social issues. But her, she brings that energy that everyone forget about that issues and, you know, just go with the flow kind of energy. And she is just like the brightest golden retriever of the circle. She is literally the charm.

    So the person who shows feelings to everyone openly is Mohammed Meeran Fahim. So here I can talk about my friend Mohammed Meeran Fahim, who I feel that he is a person who shares his feelings openly with me and not only with me, he also shares his feelings openly with his family and other important friends. He normally used to share his daily activities, his issues with his life, the work pressure he does have and the difficulties which he is facing with the money right now. He is a friendly character, he always supports me and backs me in difficult situations. I can as well share openly with him all the activities which I do and I used to visit his home regularly in weekends. I used to play games with him as well as his brother. I will spend some time with their family as well, watching movies, going out to cinemas. He is like a brother with a different mother to me. He is a very good character. We usually go out on weekends for restaurants and mostly both him and myself are very good fan of bowling, where we visit our nearby bowling area regularly and we are so much interested towards bike ride. So we normally take bike as a mode of transportation which we love our most and those were the days in our college time, we used to ride bikes regularly.

    Well, the first one that pops into my head is my friend Sara. She is spittide, has a dazzling smile and a lovely complexion. She is such a social butterfly and is able to easily make new friends and everyone enjoys her company. I think it is because she is quite frank. She expresses her feelings whether someone annoys her or makes her happy. She talks about every single feeling she receives from other people and other things. I think at first, it would be attractive to many people and they would feel the same sense of reliability and honesty. But after a while, I think it would be annoying at least for me. If my memory serves me right, this story goes back around 3 months ago. It was one of her child's friend's birthday party. You know Sara. Sara was on tight budget and wasn't able to purchase a proper dress. So she borrowed a nice dress from one of her friends. The dress was really eye-catching, maybe because of its color which was emerald green and it had some special hand-embroidered designs on it. And you know what happened when we arrived there? She received a lot of compliments on that dress and she started to narrate the story that she was on a tight budget, couldn't purchase the dress and had borrowed it from her friend. She even told me that she couldn't get the address from her friend and share the boutique's address. That was really embarrassing. At least for me, I think she didn't have to do that. She could have just said thank you and left the place.
