"AFTER EVERY STORM THERE IS A RAINBOW"

Date: August 9th, 2023

In the quiet corners of my mind lies a realm of unspoken words, a narrative about myself that rarely finds its way into conversations or interactions. These unspoken words are like delicate threads, weaving together a tapestry of thoughts and feelings that often remain hidden. Here, in the sanctuary of my thoughts, I unravel the stories, emotions, and aspirations that define who I am.

As I lay my fingers on the keyboards, I reflect on the question: "Who am I?" It's a question that echoes through the corridors of my mind, inviting me to delve deeper into my essence. I am more than just a name, a collection of roles, or a list of achievements. I am a person who has started to be positive about every aspect of life. There are many things I like to do, see, and experience. I like to read, I like to write; I like to think a lot and do thought experiment (that's why maybe I find it so hard to fall asleep I guess lol); I like to listen more and talk less. I like to be alone most of the time. I like silence and I hate noisy places and noisy people.

This is me, Qisti. I am a self-driven, motivated woman. As a person, I think I am sensitive, yet self-contained. Yes, At times, I find it hard to hide my emotion, though, I don't consider sensitivity as an emotion of weaker people, being sensitive is in fact a strong personality because we can feel the emotions and pain of other human beings. I just find myself happy with the simple things. Appreciating the blessings God gave me. Some days are just bad days, that's all. You have to experience sadness to know happiness, and I remind myself that not every day is going to be a good day, that's just the way it is !!

So many times, people told me I can't do this or can't do that. My nature is that I don't listen to the negativity of what people say to me or say about me. I'm very determined, and I believe in myself. My parent brought me up that way. I don't let anything stand in my way. There are a lot of people I admire and respect, but I don't necessarily want to be like them.

This is my father, the one who taught me to value myself. He told me that I am a strong empowering woman and that I am the most precious thing in his life.

I don't like to compete with others and I don't like to judge other people's life. I have no jealousy, envy, or hatred towards others and I don't envy another person's success. I'm planning to test my own boundaries. I am a very forgiving person and that's one quality I like about myself because the weak can never forgive, forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.

Being happy is a state of mind and I don't think people should settle for less than they deserve. I like seeing other people happy and when someone else is down it breaks my heart. I've been through more than most people of my age, but it's what has made me stronger and wiser because from experience comes wisdom. According to me, maturity doesn't come with age, it comes with experience. I have learned a lot from life experience. Life has thrown me challenges and so far I have come past them. I have learned whom I should trust, whether people are ready to help me, and how I should survive alone during hard times; most of all I have learned how to differentiate between friends and foes. I am a stronger and wiser person now. Everything will get better. There's always a rainbow at the end of every rain.
