I think I am living a lifetime of stories already by the age of 18!

From a pretty young age I came to realize that life isn’t just measured by years but the way which you live it. This belief has guided me through my journey till date and made me realize that understandings of life can be vast and mature even in a young age. Ever since I can remember I’ve been a child who thrived to learn new hobbies and finds joy in the little things.

I’ve always been the child who constantly asking questions and is eager to discover the world around. For me curiosity has always been the oxygen that fuels my passion for life. I was driven by the thoughts of seeking to understand the facts made up by the mysteries of life.

Growing up i was always inspired to dream big, so I’d try to do things that I never thought I could accomplish. I would challenge myself to learn and master new things. Thats how I developed several hobbies. And fun fact: I learned to master my hobbies all by myself as I immersed myself in them, each one shaping a part of who i am today.

As a child with many hobbies, I’d get entitled as a “Gifted Child” the one who picked up new skills very quickly and easily and found joy in exploring different hobbies. But what truly sets me apart wasn’t just an innate gift-but it was the relentless drive to learn, improve and push myself beyond what i thought i could do.

I’ve always loved dancing and that’s how i learned how each moment challenges me to grow stronger. Alongside dance, i still remember at the age of five i picked up a pencil and drew the picture of-Gautam Buddha and marked my artistic journey. I poured my heart into every sketch knowing that it was making me closer to perfection with every brushstroke.

By the time I stepped into my teenage years, I blossomed some new interests. I wrote my first poem, a simple piece about my country and won the first prize. The victory led a path of my writing journey. It also thrived my desire to try everything—from sports to public speaking, yoga, volunteering and many more. I’d never been afraid to voice my opinions or share my perspective, even if it meant standing out. I’d grab every opportunity I’d get to express myself. Each of these experience taught me that words, when used meaningfully, hold immense power to influence and transform.

Of course I didn’t get to where I am without any obstacles. There were moments of judgement, comparisons, bullying, hurtful criticisms and much more. Sometimes I’d even doubt myself when juggling myself through maintaining many of my hobbies. But thanks to my supportive mother who never backed me off from my hobbies and kept motivating me to try more and more. She made me believe that every obstacle through the way is a lesson, every setback is a push to rise stronger and even better. Despite the support the countless hours I’ve spent practicing, falling, trying yet never giving up are the actions that really pay off for who I am today.

From all those efforts I’ve put, Today, I find myself not only writing an autobiography but also reflecting on the milestones that have defined my journey so far. Among them, becoming a published author of my book, The Mystery of Life, holds a special place in my heart. Writing this book was not just a creative attempt but a deeply personal exploration of the questions and wonders that shape our existence. It’s a piece of my soul, a reflection of my understandings, shared with the world.

Beyond writing, I’ve embraced my identity as an artist and a dancer. Through painting, I’ve learned to pour my emotions onto a canvas, creating pieces that speak louder than words ever could. Dancing, on the other hand, has been my way of expressing joy, freedom, and the rhythm of life itself. These passions have not only brought me immense joy but also allowed me to connect with others on a profound level.

I’ve lived a lifetime of stories already, and yes it is the stories of understanding, stories of art, stories of learning, stories of new paths, stories of rhythm and stories of experiences -present and past.These stories help me understand that every step, no matter how small, contributes to a journey filled with purpose and meaning. Life’s all about cherishing the lessons learned, the dreams pursued, and the lives touched along the way. And as I continue my journey, I hope to inspire others to chase their dreams, no matter how young or old they may be.

This is my story so far—a story of passion, creativity, and persistence and resilience. But more than that, it’s a testament to the limitless potential we all hold within ourselves. I hope to write the next chapters of my life with the same passion and courage I hold now!
