    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.

In our daily routine, I watch her going to the gym in 5 in the morning. After coming from the gym, she makes her own breakfast then she travels to office which is around 2 km from our apartment. She walks there and after she comes from office, she again goes to a Zumba class. So, how can she manage all these things is a very incredible thing and I am very surprised after looking at her doing all the physical activities she is trying to do and making herself energetic throughout the day is an incredible thing. Even I sometimes feel that I should start going to the gym but I am a very big procrastinator and not able to explore these kind of things.

    So, an energetic person that I know is definitely my brother, my younger brother. So he is the most energetic person because right now he is in his teens and I think that is the age where each and every one of us has been energetic at some point. So, yeah, so what he does is, he is always cranky, he is running here and there and everything and he troubles me while I am working, he plays, he studies and he goes to tuitions and he studies again because he is having his board exams. So I think he is the most energetic person I know and like, if we imagine ourselves now and we think that we can handle the studies, we can handle play, we can handle other curricular activities, so no, we cannot because this is not the age, this is not the right age where we are mostly energetic, this is the age where we are very lazy. So yeah, so I just think that my younger brother, he is the most energetic and he keeps on troubling everyone running here and there and this is what makes him energetic and I find him the most cheerful one in the entire house.
