    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.

    Um, I have a friend from my high school. Her name is Meera. She is very, very, very open. Like, I really adore that piece of her because it is a blessing to be that open or I could say introvert. No, I could say she is very extrovert. Introvert-ness is not in her blood. She is so extrovert. The energy she passes is amazing. I love the energy she passes. She always makes everyone happy. She never ever made me feel bad. I met her in my high school during my 11th standard and I am happy that I did so because she is a great person. And I just admire her a lot. She is a very nice friend of mine.

    To kick things off, I have met so many person throughout my life and today I would like to talk about the most fascinating person, none other than my cousin Aman, who shows his feelings very openly. He doesn't care about anything while showing his feelings. He is a graphic designer in the renowned company and he is in his mid-twenties. He is a very astonishing person who attracts all the people towards himself because he not only expresses himself in a great way but also gives some suggestions to others when it comes to their problems. Now, I know him from my childhood because he is my bosom companion from that time. He just lives thrown away from my house. I think that this person is very open towards all people because of his true nature. He never wears a mask like other people wear in this technological era while confronting his feelings in front of others. He truly doesn't bottle up his emotions in front of others. I remember when he had a great job in graphic design and had promotion, he truly showed his delightfulness in front of my family and others and he truly celebrates that event whenever he needs any assistance and when he feels in blue moon, then he may shed some tears in front of me and my family members. So, I feel that he is a truly cool as cucumber person.

    For me, this person would be my sister. I really feel very strongly about the people who are open, very open about their feelings. I feel they have a clear mindset, a clean heart and a very, they are very trustworthy in nature and also kind of innocent. For me, my sister has always been the closest. I feel that her showing emotions and expressing very vividly throughout the period of time has made me realize that being open about your feelings is a great way to let things out. It is also good for your personality as well. For me, she is the most closest person so I can be biased but I am not wrong. I feel these values are very important, being open, being friendly, being just outgoing and extroverted, keeping everything out there and venting out what's in your mind or your heart. When you do these things, it's easier to move on in life and live your life fully.

    I'm really glad you asked me this question. I really love to discuss something about this with you. I have a person who shows his or her. I'm really sorry. I really have a person who shows her feelings very openly with me. She is my best friend and I love her a lot. I met her in my sixth standard and we are still together. She is very open with me. She trusts me a lot about each and everything and she shares each and every emotion and everything with me. Nowadays she is facing a lot of crisis in her family like her parents are getting divorced. She discussed this with me and she was very sad and she came to me very emotional and she started crying. But she has that confidence in me that she can share each and everything with me without any hesitation. So I think you need a person in your life to whom you can share each and everything. So she told me about her parents and I was very sad after hearing this and I know she is my best friend. I should not tell you this but I'm just telling you because I want to. And I think it's very good to open sometimes. You should have someone in your life to whom you can go and you can express your feelings and everything because it is very important. If you have no one, you will be depressed. You can go to anxiety.

    The person I know who is telling her feelings very openly is my very own sister, my elder sister. She is my elder sister, so I know her since my birth. I am a very shy person, but she is the complete opposite of myself. She is very clear with her thoughts, her ideas, and whenever any person asks her about anything regarding opinion, then she answers them directly without any hesitation. She never feels shy when she is expressing herself. I think that is the great quality which makes her unique and which makes her a completely different person from me. And she is my sister, so I used her a lot in a way that whenever I am confused with any decisions or any life situations, she is ready to help. She is sorting the things very easily, and so she is very open-hearted. If she feels anything sad, then she says it directly, and she never disrespects another person.

    The person who expresses her feeling very openly is my friend, one of my closest friends, Bhavna. We met during our undergraduate program. I met her in my first year of undergraduate program. The thing is, she tells whatever she feels very openly. She is the topper of our class. Everyone will be asking for her help to complete the assignments and to do some projects, to help in the presentations. Whatever she feels or she wanted to do, to help or not, she'll express her feeling very openly without hurting anyone. Either it may be the positive response or negative response.

    Although I have made enormous friends till date, but here I would like to talk about someone very special to me. My best friend Shaira is the dearest to me. We share a treasure trove of memories, from playground adventures to school days. We blindly trust each other and we be there for each other through thick and thin. Since we have shared a strong bond, she feels safe to share her joys and sorrows with me without any hesitation, which creates a sense of trust and authenticity. She is very genuine and true, and she values open communication, which helps process and release pent-up feelings. Moreover, she is very fashionable, she stays up-to-date with the latest trends, and pays close attention to every aspect of her outfit. Moreover, she is also very wise in choosing the quality of her clothes to the accessories and shoes that she wears. She knows what works for her body and skin tone, therefore, she dresses in a way that makes her feel confident and comfortable. I remember a time when my bestie had to switch schools and we lost contact since we didn't had mobile phones back then. But fate brought us back together when she rejoined my school in 8th grade, 4 years later. Initially, we were both a bit shy, but we quickly fell back into our old rhythm and we have remained close ever since. Spending time with my bestie is pure joy, we laugh, forget our worries, and our crazy conversations help escape the monotony of daily life.

    The person who shows her feelings very openly is my best friend Viva, I know her from my school days. We went to the same high school and we also went to the same coaching center during the days of my NATE preparation and luckily we got the same college and she was my best friend throughout the college time. She never had any hidden agenda in her mind, she was always an open book and I knew what's in her mind and she knew what's in mine. We were like soul sisters and I know, I not only know her, I also know her mother and father very well, they see me as their own child and we were like the college's best duo because I know it's very difficult to find a true friend in a toxic environment like medical college and dental college because the environment makes you behave selfishly. I think I am quite grateful to have her in my life but since I have completed my college and it's been quite some time, I haven't seen her in a while and I don't know what is she up to these days and what is she doing, planning and I think I have to contact and communicate with her because of my exams and she is also preparing for her exams.
