Communication It is probably the most complex task that man has ever attempted to do. Technically, it is the transmission of idea, feelings, thoughts and opinions from one person to another, but is that all it is? I believe that communication has a deeper meaning, something which has a great impact on us mentally, sometimes liberating, sometimes suffocating. I think communication is the process of opening up the walls of your mind and letting others in, where the opinions of some are like a flood of sunlight to your thoughts, whereas the words of others are like an actual flood, wreaking havoc inside your head. Although everybody claims to know the meaning of communication since they were seven, weirdly enough, hardly any of us have mastered it. It's bizarre how words freeze in our throat, our lips seal shut, our brain feels like it is full of hay, all when it's time to speak, to communicate. Hands becoming clammy, hair rising on the back of your neck, heart racing so fast tha...

'The wind whipped around her face, tendrils of hair coming loose from their bun. The air smelled different here, it felt different too. She opened her eyes and found the stars twinkling in a different sky. A smile lit her face and her heart started beating a wild rhythm. She was free.' A road under the scorching heat of the sun, roofed by bent coconut trees, the sea stretching behind the groves of trees, its rippling water glistening in the afternoon light. A cottage in the middle of nowhere, with thick foliage under and above, the sound of crickets and the pattering of rain providing music at night. A land of burning white, with black and white peaks, unique flakes falling from a black sky, fire crackling in the grate, soft music in the background and you waltzing. A city full of life and activity, high-rises taking the place of trees, screens and signs and lights illuminating the roads, honking of taxis providing a different sort of music. A soft yellow land, with cool...

' She stood silently; the words stuck in her throat. She wanted to say them out loud, She really did, but She didn't know how. She just hoped that time will help her be more free, more open and more fearless.' What is it that keeps people from expressing themselves? I'm not talking about opinions, because opinions are still relatively easy to express. I'm talking about feelings, emotions. What is it that holds people back from acknowledging what they feel? If there is one thing I know about human nature, it is that we all have feelings. Some of us may deny it, may claim that nothing ever affects us, but that is just self-deception. We humans have the ability to think, and thus we have the ability to feel. And it is also human nature to want to express what we feel, to let people know what we really want to say. So then again, what is it that stops some of us from truly speaking out? And not just expressing love, I'm talking about revealing just about any emo...

'Everyday, She pauses in the middle of whatever She is doing and asks herself these same questions, doubting whatever She has ever learned, ever achieved. "Am I good enough at this?" "Do I hold a chance against all the people out there?" "Will I ever be good enough?" The same wretched questions tearing at her daily.' This is a situation that almost every teenager goes through on a daily basis. So many people, trying to find the answer to this simple question, 'Am I good enough?', only to realize that there is no one who can answer it. No one except themselves. In today's world, people have complete exposure to all the content on social media. And this exposure has led people to ask this same question for almost everything that they earlier were comfortable with. People have started doubting their abilities, their talents, their friends and families, their appearance, their entire existence. And isn't questioning yourself to find so...
