It’s said that you become who you are by your experiences in life. I know I certainly have had a lot of different experiences in life and I’m sure there are loads more exciting moments yet to cross my path.
Being only 14 and 9 months, I have already lived in 6 different places- Kolkata, Delhi, Chennai, Hyderabad, London and now Mumbai (where I’m still in the adjusting stage) and been to 7 different schools. Moving around has for sure been extremely hard for me as each time I moved, I had to leave my friends, relatives and other things that I care about, behind. Also, each time I was in a new city, it took me a lot of time to adjust as I’m a very shy person at first (after a while you get to see my crazy side and a whole different person :P ) and hence not very good at making friends but I sure have improved and still trying to improve! I always found it hard to get adjusted to the culture and the new environment but eventually when I did, I got so attached to each place that it was always heart-breaking for me to leave to another. Sometimes, I imagine how different my life would have been if I had stayed in just one city all my life but as soon as that thought comes into my head, I feel thankful and glad to have moved around cause otherwise I never would’ve been able to meet the most amazing people and experience different cultures and see such wonderful places. Moving around has also made me a lot more confident as confidence has always been something I lack in but not anymore! ;)
Apart from moving around, I also enjoy playing the guitar as I’m a huge music lover! Music for me is much more than just a time pass or something I do in my spare time, it plays a very important part in my life. It’s my biggest stress-buster. For example, whenever I’m sad, angry or have had a bad day, I just put on my headphones and get lost in the music and that is all I need to feel better. Once I pick up my guitar, it is very difficult for me to put it down as I can go on strumming for hours without getting bored. I feel that music is a much better way of expressing emotions when compared to words as they say “words that cannot be spoken are sung” :P Other things that fascinate me are drawing, photography hanging out with friends and talking ( something I can keep on doing forever without getting bored)
Now coming to friends and family, they are the most important people in my life, they have always been there for me and I’m sure they will continue to do so. My mom and dad have supported me and guided me throughout everything in life and my sister (even though we fight all the time and act like we’re going to kill each other,) is my best friend and my role model. My friends are the craziest, funniest, awesome and the most amazing people I know. They are the ones with whom I can have the most senseless arguments and share my craziest moments. Even if we do fight, i know they’ll always be right by my side whenever i need them and i know no matter where we are now or in the future, we will always be with each other, forever.
Last but not the least, when it comes to me..all I can say is that I’m a very extreme person, for example when I’m crazy, I’m the most craziest person ever and when I’m happy, no one can possibly be more happier at that moment and so on.. I can range from being extremely random to extremely sensible or from short-tempered to calm and peaceful (depends on the situation!)
Even though I can’t wait to grow up and experience and live all the new moments coming my way, I would also like to slow down on life’s crazy ride, sit back and enjoy every moment in the present to the fullest and never forget the memorable moments that have passed.
Although you might think of me as just another (almost) 15 year old girl, I can assure you that, one would have a hard time finding another “me” :)
