I WILL LOVE MYSELF FIRST SO THAT I CAN LOVE AND RESPECT YOU MORE.
Night (Love Everything In Nature)
I know my only companion, you are!
Seems we are united in a new confederate world.

'YOUR CHOICE'
The day I dreamt of my career and viewing things with responsibility, I never thought I would have to leave home and stay away. Imagination, excitement, and dreams were just playing before me, all the exams were done to fly and pursue a master's degree abroad. Shopping was fun, meeting friends gave a lot of courage, sleepovers were just an amazing platform to chitchat, gossip, etc.

It's been almost a decade since I first wrote about leaving home, chasing a dream, and trying to understand what independence meant. When I read those words again recently, I realized I was not wrong back then. I was just early.
At that time, independence meant distance. It meant learning to handle daily life without my parents around. It meant figuring things out through confusion, fear, and quiet effort.
It was not all serious, though. There were fun moments too. Small laughs, new experiences, and simple things that made the hard days easier.
