Describe a book you recently read

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.

It is an adventurous water sports. I learn about scuba diving from one of my best friend. He did scuba diving last year in our summer vacations when he gone out for the trip. He told me that it was really exciting and we saw many beautiful things in the underwater. In my country many places are there where I can go and do scuba diving but I will prefer scuba diving in Andaman which is a very beautiful place which is located on northern part of India. It is an attractive island located in a very beautiful bay of Bengal. Scuba diving is not so difficult sport if we learn it properly and care about every safety rules. Scuba diving is underwater diving where the divers use an apparatus which is completely independent of surface supply to breathe underwater. Generally it can carry our own source of breathing gas usually it is compressed air gas. I want to try this sport because I have never tried adventure sports like this in my life. So I really want to try it. I am so excited about it. Learn to diving is incredible experience and divers never forget it. So I really want to try it because I heard about it.

This reminds me of a holiday that we went to a place by port and we saw, we saw, we went to an island and we stopped there and we saw people going scuba diving and snorkeling and kayaking. But one of the sports that I really loved and would like to do in the future is snorkeling. It is something unique. It is a different sport altogether. In that sport, they have got specialized gear for the feet and for the body that they normally wear. They have got a trained personnel who guides you and teaches you how to do it. In this sport, it allows you to go underwater and see the different things underworld like the fish, the beautiful fish, the plants that you usually don't see above. It is a different world underneath. But it really needs a lot of practice. You need to practice a lot your breeding skills and you should be able to swim properly since the depth of water is quite down. It gives you a great, it is a great adventure and I would like to try it in the future.

So, the water sport I would like to try in the future will be surfing. So, I found surfing really interesting and amazing. It is very adventurous too. So, I will definitely try surfing in the future. From my childhood, I am suffering anxiety and have phobias towards water. So, by exploring a sport like surfing would really mean a lot to me. Because, to overcome the barriers and to really try something new in life. And, surfing is really interesting as it confronts the waves. And, it is a very adventurous sport. So, bypassing the waves also means a lot to me. Because, I like beaches but I can't experience the waves at all. Because, I am really not into that. So, surfing would change my life and I would definitely try surfing.

So it's a really good question because I enjoy marine sports a lot because I am a professional swimmer and I have won lots of awards when I used to swim as a kid. So a sport that I would like to try in future will be scuba diving as it fascinates me a lot because I'm plus size right now. That means I will have to get myself into the shape when I can qualify myself into scuba diving. But for sure I would love to do scuba diving because once I remember I visited Fifi Islands in Thailand with my family and there I had done scuba diving which had a lot of my interest and I loved seeing fishes and marine and aquatic life down in the sea. I really enjoy water. I have loved as a kid visiting water parks in my city and always whenever I go somewhere I love to visit the water parks. One of my favourite water parks is Atlantic in Dubai where we can actually swim with actual sharks and see mermaids who are obviously human beings. And I love actually, I love marine life where I see fishes, I have a good beautiful aquarium in my house and I love to take care of my fishes. One of my favourite movies is Finding Nemo that is actually about marine life. And I am a bit of a more adventurous person because I have done several hikings and several treks throughout my life but there is this section which is the aquatic part of the adventures which I have not performed yet but I would love, love to go there. It is one of my bucket list and I had made a vision board for 2025 which is also a part of the same. So, that's a sign. Thank you.
