It's so true, people need to accept themselves too because of this judgmental society they start questioning themselves which lead to bad paths or clearly depression. Which is not good at all. People need to accept whatever they are, as they are!

Amazingly explained. We are all beautiful in our own ways!!

Not only you, but if I too try this I'll blank at some point to even write about myself. We feel we know ourself which is sometimes not at all true. And it's totally fine. And I really like what you said YOU think matters, is what matters. In this judgmental society we have to keep this sentence in mind always!

Just giving an example- you have a friend for a long time and suddenly you get to know he/she can't be trusted, so from that friendly nature you nature turns to a close person just happy with being around with a few people. Even Right now I'm at a very different place as all my friends are back in India and I don't have any friend here, a whole different situation and I personally know that I have changed a lot due to this and even the environment of just staying home for at least 6months now.

Even I didn't appreciate poetry since I completed half of my high school. Then I have a friend she is back in India, she had a book called 'The Sun and her Flowers' by Rupi Kaur. She made me read some poetry from it and they were amazing!! From that point I really love poetry. You can read this if you haven't. I'm gonna soon order some new cause I guess I need to escape the reality for a while.

We all need to be better to be in this world together. Short and sweet, but at point!!

People get to know the real you. Sometimes they get to know what are you suffering from or going through. We can even express storytelling through poems. The poets make us feel what they feel, or what they want or what they need, We can even get lost in those imaginary worlds of storytelling, which is honestly better than this real/fake world. Yes, Barthes is correct. Storytelling is a part of human experience. We can connect through our story with anyone! Sun, 06 Sep 2020 15:22:28 -0400
