I really love this. I too was really good at English. In fact I was a tutor in my sophomore year of HS. I agree we shouldn’t stop being curious and learning no matter how old we get. Thank you for this. I too would like to reflect and answer this prompt and I will🙂🙏🏾 Thanks for the inspiration.

This is such a raw read. We as teens dont really understand what we want, what we like. I am glad you wrote this piece to which many of us can relate.

This such an honest and relatable read!

Teenage phase is completely different. We hardly understand the value of anything that time. If someone suggested something also we ignore right away.

Now look back as time passes. Now we regret why don't we listen or follow our passion.

Honestly, Uma, this is such a beautiful and deeply relatable post. You’ve expressed everything with so much clarity and honesty—really loved it .

I can personally connect to this in many ways. I also completed my MA in Urdu, but right after exams I got married. At that time, I didn’t get the chance to build a career. And now, when the need arises, it becomes really difficult to manage everything—home, kids, and trying to write alongside.

That’s why I truly feel young people should first focus on building their future and career. Life is long, and dreams can still be fulfilled later—but having something of your own, some achievement, really makes a difference.

Your post beautifully highlights this reality. Keep writing such meaningful pieces.
