THIS IS AMRITA.

Oops. Indian, high schooler, writer. Also violinist, artist, noncomformist, clumsy, lover.

Overacheiver? Procrastinator? Optimist? Pessimist?

I have ambition to do big things. Like everyone.
Believe in something. The world is a lot less murkier when you believe.

I like writing stories because I like reading a lot. When I run out of books, I make up my own stories. That's what got me started with writing, along with my overactive imagination - probably due to the fact all I did when I was young was read.

I write for fun, but it's nice when other people enjoy my stories, and that's why I put them up to share.

I love the rain; I have ever since I can remember. The thump of the water drops as they land from their fall has always been soothing for me, creating a music that silences the entirety of the world. The drops falling, landing in perfect timing one after the other, is mesmerizing.
Whenever if rains, I feel as though all the people are crying, allowing their fears and worries to be seen, letting others see how much they suffer. And I cry with them. The rain is everybody crying all at once, comforting others with their tears.
It’s a form of solace, really, how it always rains at the proper times, each time a person is feeling melancholy. In movies, it always rains after the hero, or a beloved character, dies; in books, it always rains when love is lost. Though it’s cliché, the fact that the sky is crying with the audience is comforting, reassuring them that their sorrow is shared.

5: I wish I hadn't graduated out of preschool.
6: I'm way too self conscious.
7: I lie about stupid things.
8: I get angry easily.
9: I almost always hide that anger. When I don't, you'll notice right away.
10: I used to act like a moron so that people didn't think I was 'uncool'.
11: Now I act like a moron because I couldn't care less what some people think of me.
12: I drink cranberry juice in wine glasses out of silly straws when I'm home.
13: I am TOO loud for life, but I'm also too quiet for words.
14: I act childlike and carefree all the time for a reason.
15: I hang out at the school playgrounds. Sometimes by myself.
16: The trees in Snow White scared the living shit out of me.

24: I NEED to learn how to ride a skateboard.
25: I obsess over a lot of 'superficial' things because I can't commit to real things.

36: To me, you're not cool just because you swear a lot. Swearing ... it's just words, the same as 'umbrella' or 'fish' or 'paper.'
37: I haven't said, "I hate ... " since the sixth grade. Hate is a very, very, strong emotion and there's clearly enough hate in the world.
38: What you see is not quite what you get. There's a lot more to me than what you see on the outside.
39: Harry Potter, Disney, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Pokémon, and Sailor Moon are only a few among the long list of 'childish' things I love.
40: You judge me, and I shun you for the longest time. Then I only talk to you rudely. That's what you deserve. Dealwithit.
41. Musicals are not overrated and showtunes are not annoying.

43. I more or less live and breathe music.

45. Just because I'm annoying, it doesn't mean I don't like you. In fact, sometimes, the more obnoxious I become, the more I love you.
