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.

I had my share of being active in social media and one such person that I follow on social media has to be Mariam. Mariam is a hijabi content creator just like me but she has more followers and she has a great content on her page. The reason why I follow her is because I too come from a hijabi background, has a content creator and she even she does. So eventually in the early days when I wanted to start wearing hijab and I wanted to portray it in a good way, that is the time I came across her page and I fell in love how beautifully she portrays the hijab and our religion. This is one reason why I followed her and started following her content and everything that she posts on her stories, started following the lessons what she gave through her stories, started wearing hijab like her and also getting few inspirations from her page. The main reason that she inspired me and one thing that I felt like a spark that started within me once I saw her page was how she doesn't use music or we can say that our religion doesn't cooperate with the music and it is prohibited and how she uses songs called Nasheed which has no music and even her English songs she tries to remove the music and then upload it. So I think this is what inspired me a lot from her and I think this is what I am going to take towards my life and this is what I am going to follow what she has taught me. So I have texted her through Instagram telling that I am thankful and I will always be thankful to her.

The person I am about to talk to you, the person I do, my favorite social media person who I like to follow is PewDiePie. He is actually a Swedish gaming YouTuber. I actually got to know him by a random YouTube frequency and there was some drama going on between him and so YouTube automatically feeds this drama. So I really saw them, a random act of YouTube research and I do really like him because, I do follow him because of the authenticity. He really likes to play a lot, he yells a lot. He is really authentic when you look at him. It actually feels like when you are actually in person. Most of his content is actually on gaming and he is not a very lenient gamer. He just does random stuff, he just goes out of the box. He just goes out of the box and he has this peculiar way of thinking that no one else would have thought. I do play a lot of games. Initially when I got attached to them, because he was a gamer, I thought he was a very good gamer, he was a very lenient based gamer. But he was not a lenient, he was not a very straight forward gamer. He was just famous for doing random things. For instance, if a car provides us with a car, we drive it. He does not drive it, he just does all kinds of shenanigans with that driving. Especially in game, he instructs us to go to a certain point A to B, he just goes all sorts of things, he just goes and crashes things. I told you that the game's main intent is not to get to point A to B. The main intent of the game is to actually play and have fun with it. So that was the one I kept in my heart. There are certain points to it. Now he has become a very old person, he has kids, he has moved to a lot of places, he has kids and sort of grew along with them. Now he is in a mature phase of his life. They teach him about books, they teach him about philosophy, he is learning about philosophy.
