WHO AM I?

Shhhhssshhhh. That was the day, In the early morning, when I first heard the astonishingly different sound at a time: leaves of trees rustled in the breeze, hen clucked cordially as a ring bell and, the birds chirped monotonously; felt me refreshing. Inevitably, someone's voice muffled through the window and, the footsteps shuffled on the floor. Subsequently, the rain drizzled down for hours and, the rain pitter-pattered on my windows; however, it seemed marvelously romantic weather; felt me cold. So, I just grabbed the pillow tightly and snuggled my whole body down under the blanket; felt me warm. My alluring eyes did not open yet because of the cold weather. But after a while, my eyes opened (stared continuously). I started thinking about my childhood journey that who I was then and who I am now. I am eager to know about myself since childhood because I think the toughest question is to describe yourself. So, I went to flashback memories of my childhood and started writing my transformation story through potent words in the blank sheet of my mind.

Hey, ''Do you know me?'' Tell me something about yourself, my soul asked to my mind. Well, she replied: ''I am Prativa Shrestha''. Today, I utterly recall my back-childhood days and muster all memories in short. The time when I tried to cloak myself amid other peeps was the first mistake of my life that I have done. Yeah, I would call this scenario a mistake because It created a predicament for me to tackle problems; although, it's small at that time. Consequently, this one mistake brought apathy that made myself unwilling to participate in many activities; I cloaked behind the wall and, the smile faded away from my face. Amidst that time, I had seen cynic people and their cynical observation on treating people: this what always disappointed me and eventually, I renounced before stepping up towards culturing better version of myself.

On the contrary, I was a blessed child of my parents and had stout support that imparted good morals in my life then and still too. My life changed after a gap and, this happened when I ordered myself to think once that who am I? I found a scared girl who even doesn't know who she is. These questions helped me to cultivate and ascertain my inner talent and strength among everyone. Finally, I accustomed to these activities; the changes on me began from here. I started loving myself and, accepted what I was then; brought some changes by myself. Then, I felt renewed; a pretty smile didn't fade away from my luster face. Now she has recognized as a bubbly personality and, extrovert nature who has an enthusiasm for learning and exploring innovative ideas. Mainly, I focused on a present by acknowledging the past as a lesson. That's the reason for smiling every time. Besides, loving myself is the vital key to curtail negativity amid the people. Furthermore, I have been painting my life since I was a child that help to supplant the archaic to polished.

Wait, 'It's not the end but It just a beginning'', my mind replied to the soul. Suddenly, my body started moving when dogs howled and, I closed the chapter with a big smile.
