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 follow a celebrity cricketer named Virat Kohli. He is an Indian cricketer who is a batsman and a part-time bowler. I have been following him since 2011 World Cup that was won by India against Sri Lanka. MS Dhoni was the captain. He is again a cricketer who I always look up to. The reason why I follow Virat Kohli is because of his fitness and the amount of leadership he has in himself. He used to be the captain of Indian cricket team a few years back. However, he retired from the captaincy and wanted to focus more on his batting performances. At the age of 35 right now, he is still one of the best batsmen in the world even though he retired from T20 cricket. The reason why he retired from T20 cricket was because he won the T20 World Cup which was held 3 months back. At the age of 35, he goes to the gym, lifts regularly, he works out really well and the workout split that he follows is also really good. Moreover, to talk about myself, I work out 6 times a week and to follow an athlete who works out every single day fascinates me and I always look up to him.

Well, the person I decided to follow on social media is Taylor Swift. Well, how do I know her? Is through her songs and her albums that she posted about online.

The posts she uploads on social media are about her concerts, her upcoming albums and the way she gets inspired to write more songs and the way she perceives her life. The reason why I followed her is because I believe that she is the one who can one way inspire me to gain a perspective about writing songs in one manner or to take friendships in our mind in a certain way to understand how one can be loved or one should express their form of love.
