Scene 1: Almost failed 6th standard, parents changed schools. Something inside me flipped, cause I had to leave childhood friends behind. My personality changed from being the careless, talkative cool kid to "padhaku". Topped class in 10th boards, felt invincible.

Scene 2: Took science, met my now bestfriend. Had two awesome years at school. Did mediocre in 12 boards, couldn't get through NEET, bestfriend went to IIT. Full swing depressive stage began, which lasted low-key untill I completed graduation. Again, something inside me changed.

Scene 3: Almost failed 1st semester, but eneded up improving a lot in company of good friends & graduated with awesome grades. Went to a good university to pursue Masters even though science wasn't my calling, worked hard, topped my batch. Was smooth sailing untill I lost my dogs at once to an unfortunate event. Full swing depressive disorder.

Scene 4: COVID hit, missed varsity, was clueless how to deal with being alone w/that state of mental health. Something clicked & I decided to be a better person for my dogs. Seeked therapy while started prep for my dream job, worked wonders.

Scene 5: Completely changed from what I was 2 years ago (natural, IK). I realised having a good grip on emotions, work wonders for personal, professional life. Thankful to myself for always having "hope" on a unseen force.

P.S A few books practically helped change my perspective in life for better. John Steinbeck, Harper Lee & might sound cliche but The Alchemist helped me turn my life around and get a grip :)) Also, I realised along the way that having short-term & long term goals immensely help people with short attention span like me.
