echoes you hear

I have seen the same Sun giving out the same sunshine for 18 years now but when it comes to the Sun(s) that light(s) my life up, I don't think I can name only one anymore. Whoever barely knows me will be able to tell you that I'm not too fond of my family simply because they aren't supporting enough. My dad and I have always had a love-hate relationship and I seriously don't think that's ever changing. The other half of my family lives in Vizag so there's that. However, I don't think I can thank my lucky stars enough for my mother and my dog. They are the two Suns of my life.  If I were brought up with only my dad as the parent, I think I'd turn out to be a cold hearted asshole for my dad has a different outlook towards everything. He just doesn't feel or react the way a normal   person does and there is no end to our fights. As a result, I've always maintained my distance with him.

August Pullman is a 10 year old kid who has facial deformities. Due to this, he and his family have found it difficult to cope with life. As correctly portrayed in this film, the world fails to accept people who aren't ordinary. August, commonly known as Auggie in the film, is laughed at, stared at, made fun of almost wherever he goes. As a result, he has been home-schooled by his supportive mother who now thinks its time for him to join a real school.

As the movie proceeds, a lot of characters and plots are introduced which all blend in perfectly in the end. One of the reasons why this movie is definitely right up there with one of the best movies I have ever watched is because it focuses on simple things in life, an example of it being the quality of being kind to others. However, the reason why I decide...

We change.  As the sun sets, as the annual rain extinguishes itself, and as years pass by, we evolve into human beings that we never predicted ourselves to be. Sometimes it's for the better, and sometimes, for the worse. This change is bound to occur, and it occurs ever so obliviously. It's a no-brainer that we all anticipate this change. However, when it does occur (mind you, in the most gradual way possible), it tends to affect the people around us more than anyone. Change, universally, is considered to be a good thing. In all of life's drudgeries, a change in our environment is what keeps us going. The problem, however, lies in the fact that we have no clue as to when these changes in our surroundings change us .  In the words of Max Ehrmann from his poem- Desiderata, " and whatever your labors and aspirations,  in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace within your soul ." Our thoughts and deeds are reactions to the contradictory situations and roles...
