My Mind’s Palette

Raised by Strength and Grace I am a proud daughter of my proud father, I am a loving daughter of my loving mother. When Mom scolds me,  I simply let it pass. But when my father scolds me, it feels as though my world has fallen apart. When my mom teaches me  to let things go, my father teaches me  to stand and fight back. Yet when it comes to my life, together they wish me success, long life, wings, prosperity, and, above all, the grace to be a good human being.

Where My Journey Began School is a second home. Remember, this is what we were told on the first day of school. Soon my last day of school is approaching. I have to step forward from my second home. I will carry my memories. I will carry my well-wishers. I will carry my guiding lights. I will carry my teachers and friends with me always. School is a place where we find pals for a lifetime— pals who teach us so much. They teach us the art of happiness without reasons, the art of laughter without jokes. Walking out of this building reminds me that my childhood has grown into something new. School is a second home, and this truth will forever stay with me.

Learning to Unlove Ignorance is a thing which life teaches— use it when needed. Remember, I will use it too, and you will know it by my actions.

I will be there for you, but only when you need me— not like earlier, when I used to cling to you. Ignorance is a thing which life teaches you.

We live in a society where success is loudly celebrated. High-paying jobs, big homes, luxury cars, and Instagram-worthy vacations are seen as milestones of achievement. While there’s nothing wrong with aspiring for material or professional success, we must also ask: what’s the worth of success if it's not paired with kindness, integrity, and empathy? The Human Measure of Success Success is not just about reaching the top; it’s about how you treat people while getting there. Do you uplift others, or do you step on them to rise higher? Do you pause to help someone in need, or do you rush past them in pursuit of your goals? True greatness lies not just in accomplishments, but in character . Why Being Good Matters Kindness has a ripple effect : One act of c...

During the COVID-19 pandemic, I often felt lonely and quickly grew bored with activities like watching movies and sketching. However, I discovered a passion for reading, which has since become a beloved pastime. Reading an engrossing, mind-twisting book with dynamic characters and mind-blowing plot twists brought—and still brings—me indescribable comfort, especially during times when I struggle to stay interested in studying. The little boost I get from reading each day made me think about the various ways reading can benefit mental health, especially for young people. Reading is a relatively inexpensive and accessible hobby that offers tremendous benefits. Mental Health Benefits of Reading Last year, I began reading more consistently, and it has undoubtedly played a significant role in helping me cope with feelings of anxiety and nervousness. It provides a welcome escape from moments of anxious overthinking. Pairing a good book with a cup of hot or cold coffee makes the experience eve...
