    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.

    The location that immediately comes to my mind is the Adrapalli Falls, which is undoubtedly the most significant place I know. I vividly recall the first time I visited Adrapalli Waterfalls, which was approximately 5 years back, while I was studying. And what I admire most about the Adrapalli Falls is that it possesses an unparalleled sense of waterfalls and natural beauty. Furthermore, in terms of its defining characteristics, I should mention that it is very particular about the spectacular beauty and the lush green plants and the calm nature of the falls. For instance, I remember one key occasion when we went to the Adrapalli Falls for a film shoot, and there the actors responded in an admired way by seeing the falls. And consequently, this incident perfectly highlights the approach of the Adrapalli Falls and its significance of nature-walking and bird-watching, which is typically very much interested for the ones who love the nature. Looking back, the whole experience unfolded in a profoundly and deeply satisfying and meaningful way. Subsequently, I was over the moon about the feelings and the thing that I've got while I was watching the Adrapalli Falls, and I made it a point to share the moment with my people that I care about, especially my family members and friends. Overall, I felt grateful because it made me realize how fortunate I am to witness such beautiful sights and quiet places around me.

    During my childhood, my economic condition was not great and I didn't have the privilege to travel because my parents were mostly unemployed and I also didn't know the meaning of quiet place or what peace exactly would be. Eventually, when I grew up, I realized that focus is something really important and I need to work on it for my exams or preparing for something bigger. So that made me realize that I need a quiet place to focus and develop peace. I tried and explored a lot of places, I thought nature would help me out but it did not. Eventually, I realized that my home is the quiet place. No matter where I am, I always want to go back to home so that it provides me a space to think and it fosters peace and positive energy inside me. Additionally, this place makes me feel warm and welcoming so that it's easier for me to absorb in things and also work on my life.
