Fear

Hey, everyone! 

This is Disha Joshi here. I'm a 13 year old and I'm in grade 8. Ever since we entered into the lockdown, we have been having mixed feelings. Boredom and anxiety have been major moods throughout. A few have been depressed and sad too as corona put a pause in everything that we had dreamt of achieving this year.

 So to make your upcoming days -  which are juggling between lockdown and unlockdown-a

bit more joyful, interesting and relaxing, I'm going to be here and talk about various stuff such as positivity, courage, faith, hope, love, equality, women empowerment and feminism. I'll also include a few posts about life from the view of people from different age groups and will share some of my write-ups too.

  Here's a poem I recently wrote and I hope it puts you in a good mood.

                       Happiness

All of us crave for happiness

In our daily lives. 

But do we understand

What it truly means?

It's not winning a lottery

Or owning a Mercedes.

Neither is it being loaded

With gold and silver,

Or owning branded clothes.

All of these make us happy, yes,

But they don't last forever, do they?

Rather it's the feeling you get

When your mom hugs you after a long day,

When your dad pats you for a job well done!

When your brother gives you the last pizza,

Or when you and your sister

Can binge eat at 1 in the morning.

Remember that feeling when

You meet a cousin after a long time

Or the way your pet rushes to you

As soon as you come home!

It's also that satisfaction you get

When you hear the crunching sound

Of autumn leaves,

Or that wonderful, wonderful smell

Of a freshly bought book.

And how can you forget

The joy you feel with your friends?

When you're bunking class

Or getting punished together

It's that fabulous feeling

Of being near your loved ones

And knowing that for

Those few moments, 

Everything will be alright.

So, here's to those people

The ones who know how to love,

The ones who care,

The ones who never give up

The ones who actually understand

What being happy means

And what it feels like.

One more toast:-

To this amazing, exhilarating feeling

That we sometimes overlook

But know that we'll never 

Get enough of it!

I hope you guys enjoy reading it. Let me know in the comment section.

My first topic will be about hope and it'll be posted very, very soon. 

Stay tuned for more!
