An Open Letter To All Teenagers Out There

Dear teenagers,

What I am about to tell you guys is a bitter pill to swallow but is inevitable. You cannot run from it or hide from it so it's better that, when it comes, you're ready to welcome it with open arms and when it leaves; you get up, open the door, and wave it a warm, friendly goodbye.

A time is coming really soon when you'll have to worry about a billion of things. When you'll feel tired, and exhausted all the time with out even having a busy or hectic day. You'll see sun rising and setting from your bedroom window whilst you wish to not to leave your room, or even your house for a very, very long time. You'll witness people leaving you for good, and new ones coming, but they too, for until you're of any use to them. There will be breakups, and distances building among your happiest of relations. Soon you'll start to worry about some stupid research paper and assignments. You'll be ditched, cheated, manipulated, and used by humans; God's finest creation.

You'll fall and hurt yourself. You'll cry, real hard. You'll wish to go back in time and fix things that you never knew could ruin your coming days. You'll start to have mood swings, like really bad mood swings, and then one day, you'll stand in front of your mirror only to find yourself utterly changed. Some one you never even wanted to be.

There's a time coming, when you'll see kids playing in a park, as you walk by, and you'll have a déjà vu of when you used to play like that, carefree with laughters that weren't faked but genuine. A time when you'll be filling some job applications and art won't be you best skill anymore. Your GPA will matter more than your sleep and this uneasy time, my friends, is known as adulthood.

I'm writing this to tell you that you can do it, you can live it, but you'll be tranformed into a person that you don't even think of now. A personality that will have goals and deadlines to worry about. But you all will make it. You'll have stories to tell to the younger ones. Good and bad experiences. Losses and gains but it will be worth it. Because one day, you'll be wiser and braver than you are now. You'll be stronger not only physically but mentally and emotionally too. Because this is inevitable and after all, life happens, right?

I hope you all find this, read this, and take notes (just kidding). Good luck to all you pretty souls out there who are about to enter 'adulthood'.

Love,
Aasma Kamran

Looking for Alaska Book Review

- The obsession of Miles with last words made me believe that a person's last words do have some kind of meaning. Alaska Young, always being moody, self-destructive, rebellious, reckless somehow finding distractions from her inner struggles & always looking for a way out of the labyrinth. Her death was tragic indeed. She left many mysteries behind. - The love that Miles had for Alaska made it more worse for him to forget that he let her go alone that night, drunk & messed up. Alaska truly didn't find her way out of the labyrinth but she did write it 'Straight & fast'. 'If people were rain, I was drizzle & she was a hurricane' - John Green ❤

October - A Slam

For ladies out there, all young and old age For fighter s out there, all ready to show grace For victims out there, fading at snail’s pace October , dear October be a blessing for the braves My mother was a beauty , brown hairs black eyes From head to toe, an example of how to live a life When she fell ill, I thought it was ordinary But the doctors concluded what put me through hell I’ve always admired the way she tied Her long hairs in a pretty French braid Then one day she started to hide under scarfs I was sad , so sad , to see her this bald I cried every night when I heard her threw up Couldn’t tell she was same Cause she gained weight too much I stood deadpan in hallway of hospital The night she lost all her potential It was October , yes October I prayed and prayed October , dear October be a blessing for the braves "Dedicated to all victims and survivors of breast cancer."
