"The inner self"

I lived in a village surrounded by forest and waterfalls. Though living in a village I was quite and enjoyed to be alone. My name is Light. My mom gave me this name and told that I was the light of their darkness. I loved to watch the sky, the day view and the night view. I used to ask my dad about the stars. Whenever they moved I suddenly used to ask my dad "Dad look what's that??" And dad always told with a soft tone that's a comet ☄️☄️☄️. I was curious about them and wanted to know more about them. I was a high schooler and an average grade holder. I never did anything that made my parents think that I was wrong. I always made them proud.

After high school, my parents sent me abroad for my further studies. I felt glad to be in a new country and study their culture and history. I also needed to work as I was far from home and now I was a grown-up and able to handle at least my finance. I always had a book in my hand though I was not a topper but I always tried to do my best. My goals were getting good grades and also utilizing my knowledge in good works.

The crowd in which I never wanted to go now I'm lost in that crowd. Walking in that crowd never felt like me. I feel the pain of getting away from my family. Living on your own is something different but also sometimes hard. My teenage was normal I didn't even felt like it was my teenage. Teenage is that phase of life in which you need to know yourself and love yourself more. Teenage where you find someone who you can tell everything; a best friend. But I was alone all the times so my best friend was one and only me.

I learned things from my family, and my surroundings more than my school. I was also very interested in movies. Watching birds, stars, clouds were the best things I loved to do. I never spoke more.

We are always more than what we say. We say something and mean something else. We pretend to be someone who is something different. Someone who always pretends to be happy, pretends to be satisfied, pretends to be enough.

I did learn to fight for myself. But not always, it's hard to fight when the enemy is within you. We'll understand the meaning of love, family, friendship, failure, and a lot more when we grow up. We try to understand the world with our eyes, ears and our heart. We need to trust in what we see and to see the beautiful world we need to love ourself. I learned these things from my experience and someone who also taught me about everything that is hidden in the world.

The words said to me to be the light

of the world.
