    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.

    Expressing your feelings is not everyone's cup of tea, so I think it needs a great bravery to express yourself. I think it is a good habit because this helps us to get relaxed. So personally talking about a person whom I think is good in expressing is none other than one of my friends. His name is Harjo Singh and I met him in 11th standard because we studied in the same class. Expressing yourself is not everyone's cup of tea because it needs a lot of bravery to express.

So I think he is a bold person because he never hesitate to share his feelings and he is not afraid of anybody. He doesn't even care that somebody will judge him or should torture him or should make fun of him. Apart from these things, whenever he feel that there is a need of expressing himself, he absolutely do it. But in addition to that, he doesn't express openly. From this I mean that he express his feelings in front of his friends and colleagues. I felt very much good and he is so much inspirational because I also want to express myself and my inner feelings but I am unable to do that because I have some kind of anxiety. I think I am afraid of people that they will judge me and will tease me. So because of this I always avoid to express myself.

    So, this person is my friend. I know him from one of my friend's cousin. It was a mutual friend. We used to often meet at family functions and get togethers. And the most important thing which I noticed in this person is his confidence where he never let anyone down even though he was opening up and he was moreover straightforward with everyone around him. The major aspect of being confident is to be mature enough to convey his feelings that does not hurt anyone around him. That is one of the major aspects which I saw and I definitely respect. The immense respectfulness which I saw in him made me respect this person. This is the only reason why it is better to be straightforward and open about your feelings so that the intentions of the other people as well as yours is clear for a clearer and transparency between the partners or friends or even in a relationship. It is very important to openly talk about it. The effectiveness of being honest and open minded is something which I learnt from this person. Majorly, when we all are meeting in a party or in a wedding or a get together, we often talk it out loud instead of keeping it inside.

He shares whatever he knows or information passed to him. He is a person with open minded and has feelings for other persons also. He once shared with me a real life incident of his younger sister which I am a random person. A third person. He has no other goal to tell but he informed me. I would say this makes him a person more better. In contrast to this I would say he is a very good person.
