    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.

    We can see many people in our world, some people will love to show their feelings openly and some people will not share their feelings because of ego problems. Here I would like to talk about my husband, he is a person who shows his feelings very openly. I know him since I was 19, it was not a love marriage but his parents and my parents are family friends. So we used to meet in some kind of weddings and events or if there is any birthdays we used to meet them but later they have arranged, they have planned our wedding and finally I got to marry him. I feel like he is having a huge respect to the elder people and also he has a quality of communicating with other people and I love the way he talks with other people, communicate with people, how he respects the other's feelings. So in every problem he first try to listen to me, understand what I am saying and try to solve it. If he is not able to solve, we will definitely come in an understanding, both of us will come in an understanding. So that's possible only when we open our feelings to them, otherwise there will be misunderstanding between us and moreover he has a lot of moral values from the childhood itself. His parents educated him by giving not only the class lessons but also other things that need to be followed by a good citizen.

    One person who shows his feelings very openly is my cousin Heath. I have known him since we were children and we have spent a lot of time together over the years. Heath is very expressive and emotional. Whenever he is happy, he laughs loudly and talks a lot. When he is upset or angry, he does not try to hide it. He will talk about it openly and sometimes even cry if he feels really hurt. He also gets excited very easily even about small things like a good movie or a fun trip. I think he is such a person because he is very open and honest by nature. He believes that sharing emotions helps people connect better. He once told me that keeping feelings inside only makes things worse, so he prefers to express them clearly. I feel very comfortable around him because he is always real and honest. Sometimes I find it surprising how easily he shares everything. I also admire his confidence and honesty. Being around him has helped me understand my own emotions better.

    It's a very interesting question that you are asking. I was really hoping that you would be asking this question because I love to talk about this friend of mine. She is my best friend. I am talking about her. She is my best friend since my 4th grade in school. We met in a school that I got transferred in my 4th grade and we met and we bonded suddenly. It's because of the difference in our characters. I am a very emotional person but I don't express my emotions that often. I love to conceal my emotions and I express it only to my closest people. But she is of different character. She expresses her emotions to everybody. I mean like if she is sad, if she is angry, every emotion that she has, she would be expressing it at that very moment. But I am not of that type. I always conceal my emotions and I like to suffer myself. But she is all open and there is nothing in her heart. She will be like always expressing her emotions and never keep anything, never keep the burden of emotions within her. She is of a moody type. But I think that's her advantage because even if she makes some enemies because of her character, but she enjoys the peace within her heart because she takes nothing back to home inside of her. And from my 4th grade onwards, we are always close, still we are in good contact and I always call her and she always calls me back whenever there is free time. And I think it's an advantage that people should be learning to express their emotions whenever they require it.

    Frankly speaking, one of my friends is a kind of a person whose feelings are very, who express her feelings openly and always. I met my friend when I was in college and on our very first day of our meeting, I come across with this that she is a kind of a person who express her feelings very clearly and openly without any hesitation. During the class, one lecture was going on and the lecturer was not at all explaining the topic in a good way. So, my friend without any hesitation, she gets up and she says that you are just creating a vodum in the room. So, why not you just leave the room and let us enjoy our first day of college. That it was. Our lecturer was in awe. Thank you. Thank you.

    Most of the people usually don't share their inner feelings or thoughts among the people because they feel that people then judge them about what they thought. And the person I want to say about is that one of my college friends, his name is R. Vishnu. He usually tells everything very clearly. Whatever he is doing, he just opens up his mind a lot and he never has a thought of what others think or what other people will judge about him. He usually says that people need to be more practical so that they won't really think about what are the consequences they will face. So that every person will get to know what you are thinking and what is your perspective among them. And why I would say only this person is that I have spent most of my college life with him. He is one of my new friends and I closely observe him. Whether it is in terms of studies or in terms of meeting new people or among his friends, he usually just says what he is thinking and gives a proper explanation why he had given that answer. And how I felt about him is that it was a really good thing that happened in my life. I would always feel very lucky to have him and I will tell you everything I know. Thank you.

    A person in my life who shows her feelings very openly and is very broad-minded is my friend in particular, who I met during primary school. Initially, there was clash of difference in opinions and our personalities clashed. So, we used to stay away from each other. But after shared attention experience, we spoke a lot and we shared interest about movies and novels that we like and I saw how insightful and compassionate she was. Ever since then, she has been my best friend. The thing that I admire about her is she is very open about her feelings and she is a very straightforward person. So, whatever she has to say, she will directly tell it to your face. She doesn't gossip behind your back. She is a very honest person. So, if she doesn't like something or if there is something wrong with you that she wants to help, she will just bluntly let you know. I admire her. She is one of my closest friends and my bond has only strengthened with her. Initially, I was repelled by her personality but now I appreciate her.

    My wife is that person who always share her thoughts or opinion. It is because I feel her comfortable and she also feels that I am the right person to openly say her feelings to me. She is an office working person. Whenever her seniors told her or one of our close relatives told her, regardless of any reason, she always comes to me and shares her feelings to me. Whatever happens, I always support her and give solutions to her so she can motivate and avoid repeating the same issue. She is very loving, she is very careful. She cares for all of my family members. I have one daughter along with my parents. She cares for all of them. That's why she is a very loving person of my family. My mother is very supportive to her. She also feels that she is like a daughter to my mother. My father is also a very caring person. Whatever requirement of my house or from my wife, my father always brings those things to our table. That's why I believe she took care of us as a child.
