I know her.

When everything else in my life seemed to drag me down, she helped me up.

I...
What am I? Who am I?

I am a fifteen year old simple girl coming from a simple family from a place called Guwahati, India.

I am simple. Am I? I don't know. I try to be simple but things doesn't seem to be happening quite normally in my life. Having said the word 'normal', someone once asked me, "What according to you is normal?" I replied, "Normal is when you don't have a fear that one day you might end up destroying not only yours but also the lives of the people you're important to." She said,"You think that's normal?" I said, "Yes, I do."

Do you wanna know what she replied? She replied, "Why do you wanna be normal? Thats what I don't understand.You're different.Embrace it.Yeah you're not perfect. You F**k up. And that's okay
At least you're not one of those whining about not having the latest iphone. At least you're not that shallow. You have some sensibility"

Was she right? I don't know. All I know is that I adore her, I admire her. She seems to be the only truth to me. She is the one whom although I never met, makes me feel that I know her since ages before. She gave me the hope that I, at one point of my life, was completely without.

I don't know what's her opinion about me, I don't know if I'm at all important to her... and I don't even wanna know... She once told me, "Explore the universe within you." She seems to be the core of my universe. She is the sun to all my planets. She holds me, she attracts me.

I don't know if she'll be reading this. I don't know how she'll react if she does. But all I know is that I love her, I respect her. That's how I know her.

this sounds to me like what a real friend should be like. I'm no great psychologist but I agree that you should explore the universe within you and accept yourself for what you are. it's not ok to be different it is a MUST.
this is a heartfelt piece. and nicely written.

This is amazing. I wish you find such inspiration all through your life. Believe in the goodness of the world and the power of all you can accomplish.

I was a middle class girl living in bombay when I was 15 and now I've traveled the world because I listened to my heart. It's good to have a great moral core.

You are in a very formative phase of life. Nothing can be a better blessing than a friend you can trust. I loved your honest way of writing. I completely agree with what your friend has said.

[Neytri]

Yes, I'm really blessed to have a friend like her :)

Very deep on a level of involvement with the one you call "the sun to all my planets", and i think she's right when she says to "explore the universe within you." As far as "normal" goes, striving for normality is a fruitless effort, we are all different and in the difference lay the key to enjoying life, as well as adding goodness to life. For example, if life were a dish and all the ingredients were normally the same, than it would most likely be a pretty bland tasting dish...life needs difference, difference is the spice of life.

Thank you so much. You're absolutely right.
