    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.

    water or something else. I have never been to any forest or something because I want to live in a peaceful place based on two reasons. But particularly in one reason, I don't want to be in a city because of everything is polluted, climate conditions or water, polluted air, and there are many buildings were present and we can barely see trees in the cities. For some business persons or some classic people will place trees in like a showcase or they will present like in a beautiful garden present in their homes. I want to be in a forest because of no pollution, no sound, everything is peaceful. In daily life, everyday morning we can see the birds, birds are chirping, animals are making sound. We can live a peaceful life in a forest than in a city. Mostly I prefer living in a forest with my favourite person or a favourite relative or a family member to enjoy a peaceful life in a forest. Basically I can say that living in a forest is somewhat dangerous than a city. Nowadays city is also dangerous we can't live anymore in a city we can't be anymore. Now the city and a forest is not a great place to live alone for a girl.

We usually worked out till 6.30am and the forest has many peacocks as well as some birds too. We were running back of the peacocks to have a photo of it and I would like to visit the forest again this coming summer because I could get the time and when I visit the forest I would feel so happy and energetic and I do remember the most of the valuable moments which I spent.

    One of the places that I love the most as a forested region is Junagadh in Gujarat. The most exciting thing about that place is that it has one of the largest collection of living lines. I do enjoy going there because you have to go for the trip early morning 2 o'clock and then you will reach the destination by 5. Along with the sunrise, you get to see the lines running water and roam around freely within the forest. Apart from that, I do enjoy going there because you can't go there alone. You need a group of 4-5 people and I enjoy very much going with a big family or 3-4 of my friends. That is the reason.
