    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.

    Well, everyone has a person who is most favourite to them. For me, a person I mostly like is my best friend. Describing about him, he is very open and I feel like very safe in his hand. He will be with me in all my problems and he will stand before me. About him, his name is Clarin and I met him after joining the college for bachelor's of degree. I studied in Angamaly, a college famous for their education. And I feel most about him was his nature that he always shows everything openly. If he get any problem or if he hurt by anything from myself, he will sit with me and discuss what he felt and what are the problems with my attitude. And he always try to keep me to realize what the mistakes I made to him. And if he feels anyone is not behaving good and anyone is not accepting the fact, he will openly express the emotions to other people. And that's the nature I like most about him. And I feel very proud to have a best friend like him that he shows every emotions openly. And it's a good character for a person. And I believe I am her best friend also.

    I have so many friends but now I would like to talk about a particular friend who likes to share his feelings openly. She is none other than my best friend Sohani. She is very open minded girl. She was with me since my childhood. We were together in one school and we always studied together and have eaten together. We almost enjoyed so many activities together. If I talk about how I feel about her, she openly describes her feeling whenever she feels happy, awful, or excited. She always hugs me with excitement whenever she achieved something or get something. Moreover, whenever she missed someone, she cried openly in front of me and I find it so pleasure for me because she consider me his best friend and thus she cry in front of me and told me every secret as she considers me as her secret keeper. Moreover, at last, she is the person with whom I want to spend my whole life.

    So, the topic is my favorite one. It's my father who brought me up and gave me every opportunity in life to take advantage of. Apart from that, as he is my father, I grew up seeing him in my family. Apart from that, he is the good one because I never ever understood why people think he is a bad person. A lot of my family relatives said, your father is such kind of person and such and such, but I never found any flaws in my father. Apart from that, there is a relation between me and my father. My father is very, very young. Because we have a young-ness in our relationship. As I have known my father, we talk about one-to-one conversation. Like, whatever problem I am facing in my life, he always gives me, suggests me something. And gives me a lot of solutions for my problems, like health issues, day-to-day life, and gives me life lessons, what you should do, what you shouldn't do. And speaking why I like my dad is that I have no reason to not like him.

    So I would like to share about my friend named Prashant and since childhood I know him so very well. The quality he has is he loves to share his feelings and exchanging his ideas or thoughts among people. But for me, it's a very difficult task to share our perspective or our ideas to others because I have a fear of socialization. I have that phobia to speak among people or a stage. So being an introvert person, I would say that Prashant is doing better being an extrovert person because exchanging feeling and sharing your thoughts and conversation, exchanging those information is good because it not only help to reduce our stress but is also help that person will know us more better and they'll find more benefit and they'll know that what you are feeling right now. So there could be a solution for our problems. Sometimes I don't share and don't open up with others. So they don't find myself so uncomfortable to talk with me. And being an introvert, the people also see me like this kind of person are so negligible. They don't used to communicate with me. They don't have to be a friendly relationship with me. So I would like to say that Prashant.

    My friend Ramya is the person who openly speaks all her feelings. I and Ramya, we both are friends from my college days. I know her for more than 25 years and I'm very glad that I had such a good friend who can express her emotions from bottom of her heart. When I initially met Ramya, she was very openly talking to the teachers and not hesitating to express her views. This was kind of annoying for me, coming from a different culture background, but what I admired most is she was very openly able to speak in front of the crowd, which I must. So, I thought just talking to her, I started a big conversation like, yeah, yeah, the way you talk is so good. So, that was something what she liked about me and she was behind me for many months, but I still hesitated to be her friend. Slowly, somehow we got attracted to each other and we became friends. Discussing anything with her is quite comforting because she has a broad spectrum of views on life. With her guidance, I could easily solve many problems in my life. Having such a friend is a blessing in disguise. Overall, what I can say is anybody should have such openly speaking mindset because nowadays we see people are bottled up with their emotions, which is not as good.

    Okay, so the person is my very close friend. I have known her from last 2 years. Why do I think that she is very open? She says everything on face and she doesn't even think whether the words hurt people's emotions or not. She might think it's very good to say whatever comes to your mind but you should actually think before you talk because it might ruin the person's entire day or it might demotivate them and they might think about the incident the entire day. Everybody is not same. Some might take the words in a positive way, some might take it in a negative way. So, it all depends on their thinking or their environment in which they grew up. But it's in our hand whether to speak everything that comes to our mind and all.

    Well, technically speaking, a person who shows his or her feelings very openly are known as extroverts. But to be honest, even introverts who doesn't like or hesitate to talk openly with others can talk or share his feelings very openly with you. This is because they will do this when they feel very comfortable with people. And such a person in my life, I would consider, is my mother. I could describe my mother as a pure soul and she will share everything with me. When she cooks, when she is cooking, I would visit the kitchen at times and we would discuss so many things, many gossips and she would share her opinions and her ideas about people and things that have been happening around. And we would talk for hours together. She is open to me because I am her only son and I wouldn't judge her depending on what she thinks or what she feels. Besides me or my father or my sister, she wouldn't be so openly expressing her feelings with any strangers or any other people, any other person.

    A person who shows his feelings very openly for me, it's my friend Yash and I have known him for around five to six years. He has been my classmate from 10th class and we were not close initially. Initially, I was not very fond of him. He was very overconfident and always boasting about his life to us, so I was not into him. But later when I got to know him and we started talking, so I realized that he is very confident and outgoing person. He is very extrovert, so I started admiring him and I started respecting him because he always takes care of people around him and he always makes sure that everyone around him feels included and enjoying themselves. He always takes care of people who are related to him and he loves people around him.
