    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.

    This person is Neha. She is my friend, my bestest friend. I know her since the past few years and I think she is very much good at openly sharing her feelings. She talks about everything she feels and I always feel that I should be like her because she can tell people what she hates. She can cry in front of them whenever she wants and express that if she doesn't like it, she doesn't like it. She won't pretend if she doesn't like someone or anyone, any person. And I love the fact about her and I think that maybe if I was even a little bit like her, I could tell people what I feel. I could stop pretending as much as I do.

    Well, there's one person who express his feelings very openly. He is none other than my uncle who is most dedicated doctor. So I think he is a doctor and he knows the value of expressing emotions instead keeping it in his heart concerns. If my memory serves me right, I met him during my childhood days when I went in his clinic for my summer vacations. First I crossed paths with him towards his clinic following the route from the village. He discussed issues with me and he expressed his emotions. Then he talked about his days when he was young and he was in college. He really changed my mindset to view this world and he admired me because he's the only person with whom I am blown away by his thinking as nowadays people have two faces, they express another and they have another feeling. So I think he is a real man and he is very down to earth. I really feel that he is a hidden gem for me which I had known during my childhood. If I had not met him, I had not learned the values of expressing emotions, thought, feeling. I think expressing emotions are feast for our senses.

    Hi, today I am talking about a person who shows her feeling very openly, I met this person at the gym, she is 50 years old woman, she is extremely bold and expressive, who wears beautiful clothes and expresses her opinions without any biases and any hesitation, even if she wants anger with someone, she would express that and at the same time, if she likes someone, she would be extremely friendly with that person, this is something which I find a very inspiring habit, as I am a person who is very reserved and don't express my feelings and seeing people who are bold and expressive around you, definitely makes your inspiration levels high.

    Here I would like to shed some light on a person who knows me very well. This is none other than my brother. His name is Ajo. He's working in Italy and abroad. I know him from my childhood itself. I believe that he's a very expressive person, very openly. Why? Because if something happens, if it's bad or something happens, he expresses it very well. When he gets the highest score in the exams, he expresses happiness very well, in front of all the papers. He also gives me a few dresses as an expression of his happiness. Like that, he always expresses his feelings.

    One person whom I would like to talk about today who shows her feelings quite openly and quite candidly is my closest friend Jhanvi. She was my ex-colleague and now my best friend and initially when we both met each other she was an introvert by nature and I was an ambivert in nature. But immediately after a week or so we kind of gelled with each other so well that today I have somewhere or the other managed to turn her into an ambivert wherein she openly shares her feelings with me and the ambience and atmosphere which I provided to her in our friendship has led to a very strong bond which we both share with each other. It's hardly a day when we do not communicate or when we do not touch base with each other about our whereabouts and our daily routine. I am really glad that I met her in the organization as my associate and even when she left the organization still we managed to maintain our relation and grew stronger over the time. In addition to that I am also very grateful for all the support she has given to me till date and how she helps me also to open up and be vocal about my feelings and emotions.

He does not feel awkward when speaking to me, thus he always make sure that he tells me everything irrespective of the context and he always get open of taking the suggestions from me. I always help him throughout his 4 year journey, whenever he get depressed he call me and we have a small chit chat and it makes him feel good. Then I also make sure that I will be always available for him and whenever he calls me I will pick up the call and give him time. In fact we can say that I act as a stress buster for him.

    A person whom I know who shows her feelings very openly is my friend. She is one of the closest friends I have ever made and quite possibly the best decision I ever made in my life. She is someone who wears her heart on her sleeve and her every emotion is bared across her face, ready for all of us to read it. She is like an open book. Who is this person? A person whom I know who shows her feelings very openly is my best friend. Her name is Mishti and we have been friends for quite a long time. The very reason why I have come to adore her and consider her as one of my best friends is this very reason. Her emotions and her feelings are all like an open book, so easy for you to read as long as you know what it is trying to say. Her emotions, her distaste for anyone, her liking and her love and her hatred is all so passionate and so wholesome. There is no negative feeling, there is no betrayal on her side, there are no negative wishes for anyone and all of her emotions are bared open. When she is about to cry, you can feel all of those signs coming along. You can see her chin wobbling, you can see her lower lip just throbbing, almost ready to cry. When she is happy, she smiles and she laughs with all her heart and soul. When she is sad, when she is angry, when she is depressed, when she is worried, all of these emotions are so openly bared and they are so beautiful to witness. She is a very wise individual and to see these expressions so easily, to know that this person is not hiding anything from me, to know that she chose me to be her best friend despite knowing that her emotions are very easy to be read and so very easy to be manipulated. She is a very good friend of mine and she is someone from whom I would like to learn a lot.
