As life goes on, We have to understand. We're not the same, We may have similar personalities and qualities, But we're not the same. That is how it's meant to be.  Use what life has offered you. Use it well, And don't look back.   I want you to picture this.  A woman buys a Lottery ticket. She has only bought two tickets her entire life. After buying the second ticket, she finds out that she has won a million dollars. She's absolutely thrilled. And then there's another woman who has been buying Lottery tickets for five years straight and has not won a single dollar. She's disappointed. A part of her wants to stop buying the tickets whereas, the other part of her wants to keep trying hoping to win a big amount of money.  Now, you can clearly see the differences in their life paths. One person achieves things quite easily whilst the other has to keep trying to achieve a similar goal. This is what I call a "Menu Card" .  Don't get confused, I'...

 Sometimes I forget that I'm still 19, Sometimes I forget that I can't achieve my dreams within a week, Sometimes I don't realize that I am already doing things to reach my dreams,  Sometimes I forget to have faith in myself, Sometimes I don't appreciate my talent to draw,  And sometimes I forget that I need to be patient,  My ambition changed last year. When Covid struck, and I was at home constantly drawing, I realized, creativity runs through my blood, my veins, and that my life is art and art is my life. That's when I decided I wanted to become a professional artist, a professional illustrator.  As much as I want to achieve this dream quickly, I cannot. It's not possible. Sulking over things like this is simply a waste of time, and instead, I can use that time to draw, to create. I don't know how long it'll take, I don't even know if I'll ever make it. But let me tell you this, I will die trying. I will make it. And during this process, I nee...

 I believe as most of you would agree with me is that our mental health is as important as our education and finding a good job.  However, most of the individuals in my country refuses to see it that way.  The education in Sri Lanka guides and teaches us individuals to get into a university and to find a job. However, from my experience it does not teach you how to guide yourself to a content, happy life. People say that life is a paper that you are never prepared for. But I disagree, it is something you can be prepared for through guidance, advise and motivation.  Look at it from this point of view. You do not suddenly become an expert in writing and reading. No, it is a step by step process where you are taught orderly. I believe our lives are like that, it is a step by step process where the necessary guidance provided can lead you to a content life. It won't necessarily lead you to the perfect life, because that is never achievable, but it will lead you to a life...

I fought through my demons,  I fought through the gap that widened and released pain. The pain that held me down,  The pain that was slowly destroying me.  I was fighting, but it was not enough. I let the pain fill me,  Break me.  But I fought harder,  I am fire,  I am light, I am the darkness that turns into light,  I saved myself. I fought my demons.  - Bini 

 I've always wanted to write and to be able to express myself. I kept holding myself back because I was not confident. I had doubts and my self-esteem was very low. But today I decided to stand up against my negative thoughts. I decided to start my own blog and see where it leads me. Learning to adapt and moving out of our comfort zones is a massive challenge everyone must face when growing up. And this is my first step. I hope to be able to influence anyone through my writing and am deeply blessed to have you become a part of this journey of mine.  - Bini
