Being Short

 I was extremely tall for my age when I was a child, before my teens. From 13 years, I feel my height just stopped increasing. Or it just increases an inch per year. So, I had to face the extremes. People mocked at me for being soo tall in 3rd grade and even asked me if I was in my 10th! That felt terrible. I was a little chubby too. So, basically I was tall and fat! I felt ugly. I've undergone tons of body shaming since childhood. I've prayed to god that I wanna get short. Maybe god heard it and stopped my growth. Right now I'm in the height of a 7th grade girl whereas I'm in my 12th grade, which is weird. No doubt that I love my body. Now I'm short and cute. But I'm just surprised by the fact that even now, people didn't stop mocking. They make me feel bad about my body which is the worst feeling. Even people  have indirectly told me that I'm too short by giving remedies to get taller. Sometimes they assume that I worry about being short that I seem to...

why does our generation face more challenges than the previous ones ?

 Our generation mainly faces numerous issues only because we have made a lot of changes in the society. Be it women empowerment, the LGBTQ community, broken the stereotypes of the attires and what not! I wont say that there were no issues at all in the previous generations but they lacked the freedom of expression of their thoughts and lacked the courage to outcome the society's pressure.  And, talking to family members about this will surely make us seem matured suddenly. Especially being in an Indian family, it's extremely difficult to make you family understand that our generation is different from theirs. It's not that they will not understand it vehemently but they can not, coz it's all new for them. New in the sense, not about all those concepts of feminism and genders, it's new for a young girl or boy talking about these.  Being on of them among the LGBTQ and undergoing such issues is different and wanting to support them through all struggles is different.

My Youtube journey - part 1

 THE BEGINNNING  It was lockdown during the covid 19 pandemic, when my best friend 'minion' - [that's what I call her], were talking for hours together like yet another usual day, she told me this idea of creating content with my dog, Bruno. I told her that I am already doing something like that in Instagram, and since I was in 10th grade, I had my boards to focus. She replied saying that until lockdown ends, there's not gonna be any exams, and even if school reopens, I could pause this work and resume when my boards get over. That seemed like a plan to me. I agreed to it but then realized I was clueless about YouTube, how to create a channel, and how to post videos?!  That time, our friend, who already owned a gaming channel, told us all the technical stuff and we finally started YouTube! I used to shoot and edit every video and send it to minion first. Only after her response, I'd post the video because she was the best critic. Days passed and we made a lot of vid...

Welcome to my world

 Hello everybody. This is Samyuktha, a 17 year old girl from India. This is the first time of me blogging and I'm super excited into this new venture. I aspire to become an architect and first things first, let me tell you about myself. I am very much into paintings and also love music.  My parents are doctors and so are my grandparents. I've somehow got a thing for sketching and stuff, so I had to choose architecture.  I have two dogs, a beagle and a shih tzu. They mean the world to me. In fact they took away all my regrets of not having a sibling. On very difficult and hard days, they are my daily dose of motivation.  I have a lot of friends from the people I've met in the past years but I have a few few people in my close circle to whom I share most of my deep thoughts with.  I am a youtuber and my channel is - Miss Talent because my mom had put me in various extra classes in which I learnt tons of skills and mastered in a few of them.  I have a small bu...
