Being You - a poem

Image
you know how movies tell us to "be you" and always 'be yourself?' well, it's hard to do that, when everyone around you is out there being somebody else. you ask yourself, "who am I?" "what do people expect me to be?" The answer is simple you see. From the time you wake up to the time you're on your feet, you're you. From the time you eat breakfast and brush your teeth, you're you. From the time you get ready to do your day's work from nine to five, you're you. From the time you spend with your loved ones and people you can call 'mine', you're still you. Only you know who you are and who you're meant to be. So don't let other people think you differently. Go out and be YOU. By Lysel Vaz.

The book is called, Before I fall by Lauren Oliver. I read it. And after I read this book, gosh, something changed. Let's be real. No one wants to di...

wow! the year 2016 was one hell of an adventure! an adventure that I enjoyed thoroughly and got through with scrapes and scratches but I still got through. the year 2016 saw many ups and downs I must admit. But we always remember the best things don't we? first of all, the most amazing thing that ever happened was that I got to travel to Singapore with my family for the summer. And mind you, the experience was one of a kind. I literally loved every minute that we spent in Singapore going for tours, exploring, sightseeing and so many beautiful things that I never even imagined existed until I actually saw it. In April we had our C.A.P.S(communication and public speaking) convocation. That is, we passed with flying colors.And my speech on 'U2 - a rock sensation' was well received. July, I started my 12th std, in September I along with my twin sister turned eighteen. A big part of our lives indeed. I got my Hogwarts letter seven years late! but better late than never right? t...
