Mental Health: Let's Talk About It More

-
Hey everyone! Welcome back to another blog. Today I'm going to talk about a really important topic that needs way more awareness than it gets. I think we all are aware of who Simone Biles is. For those who don't know, she is one of the most successful gymnasts in the entire world. So during the recent Olympics, she had to opt-out of the Group Finals in her sport due to mental health problems. She was fearful that she'd cost her team a medal, and so she backed out like she should have because she wasn't in the right mind to perform, she just had too much pressure on her back. Honestly, she got more hate than she got support. Many people just said that she was a 'weak' person for backing out. The thing is, that mental health is as important as physical health. I know we say that this issue has been getting more and more attention, but hearing about this incident, I'm honestly back to square one with my perspective on things changing. I think the importance of

A Million Dreams ✨

-

Hello! Today's blog is a bit different. It's not exactly a blog. It's a poem, that I wrote. The title for the poem, as you can already see, is 'A Million Dreams'. Hope you like it!


It’s too dark now, 

I wonder why I can’t sleep.

I’m diving into my thoughts and, 

Reaching into deep.


Dreams or nightmares, what are they?

They call me out.

I keep on wondering, 

And give them a benefit of doubt.


At last, I come to know,

They’re just my dreams.

The ones I had prioritized before,

But now I conceal.


Where did I go wrong,

I was supposed to be different.

But I somehow became the same,

Just like the others, indifferent.


It was not the same back then, 

A different mindset used to drive me.

I wanted to do something big,

Success will be for sure, I used to guarantee.


A million dreams, 

Didn’t let me sleep.

The bright light of my future, 

Used to beam against my cheek. 


This seems like a wake-up call, 

To go and chase my passion.

I won’t give up this time, 

I and my dreams will have adhesion.


A million dreams,

Won’t let me sleep.

The bright light of my future,

Will again, beam against my cheek.

 I've always been extremely eager to learn new things, try them out and you know...just explore. People see something, and gradually develop an interest in it. Well, I'm different in that case because the way I develop an interest is the complete opposite. I see something and tada, hello new interest! Then, you can say, it becomes kind of an obsession for me😂. Day and night, one thing revolves around my mind. My family literally gets irritated because I keep mentioning that obsession again and again. And to be honest, I do become a bit irritating at that time. Can't help it mate!😂 And, that obsession and desire, if fulfilled, never really goes away.  So, I'm a person who likes to explore YouTube. One minute I'm watching a video about a guy teaching me the French Revolution, and you look at me the next minute, and I will be found watching a guy build a raft in the middle of nowhere. So, I randomly came across a video 3 months ago. It was an America's Got Talent

A Dream Come True ✨

Considering the fact that I have a blog page, and I post quite often, you would have probably realized by now how much I love writing. If you read my previous blog, you'd understand for sure. (If you haven't read it go and read and lemme know how it was!😂) So yeah coming back to my point. So, yeah I love writing. But this interest and this passion was kinda unknown. When I was in the US, in 4th and 5th grade, we used to get a lot of assignments upon writing stuff. Stories, essays, and stuff. That's when my homeroom teacher felt I was good at this. He even sent me to a Writer's Conference, where an ACTUAL AUTHOR came and talked to us. She was on the 'NEW YORK'S BESTSELLING AUTHOR'S LIST' that time. I'm not sure about that now though. I mean, I don't know. So, I started to write often. In my free time, I'd just take a pen and paper and start writing whatever came to my mind. At the start, I felt it was kinda trash. But as I wrote further, it c
