If I Could Trade Places With Someone, It Would Be...



This reminds me of that saying, “step into someone’s shoes to see how they are truly feeling.” I’m going to do that! Or at least imagine. This is really hard! I never really asked myself this question. I don’t want to pick my parents because I pretty much know their daily schedule. Wake up at 5 am, work, cook, chores, watch TV, sleep and repeat. Quite fun, isn’t it? A famous person? Too busy. Even though they probably have more privileges than me. Maybe someone in between. Oh, my cousin, *unnamed*. Right in between. I’ve just thought of 4 reasons on the spot!



I know a lot of artistically challenged people but her? A big no! If you say my artwork is good, you might want to take that back when you see hers. Yes, this is one of the reasons I wanted to trade places with her because she has a passion and curiosity in art. She has a creative spirit and she’s like a kite, flying, soaring with ideas. I always try to become a better artist every day but I want to be as good as her. I don’t envy her, I just appreciate and get inspired by her. She is probably one of the biggest inspirations in my life. Her singing growth has become stronger and for a bold and loud voice like hers is what I just need to boost my confidence. When you hear her sing, you can tell she’s really assertive. I know I will never be like her when it comes to singing in front of people. I can’t even sing in front of my best friends! She’s apart of many concerts because everyone knows she has a voice. Not so much for me. I did think of singing at the yearly winter concert but I know that would be in faraway thought, from my reach. I would like to take part in school shows and musical concerts like how she does.



Speaking of music, another thing she does in the arts is the violin. If you don’t know, I have wanted to play the violin for about three or four years and I still haven’t been able to go to classes. My parents tried to persuade me to play the piano or veena which is an ancient instrument that’s evolved in music variations like the arched harp. The violin called my name though. She is really lucky to be going because I had another weird thought of playing it in front of students at my school. As we know, a faraway thought. The love and affection from a sister-in-law is something my cousin sister and cousin have experienced. Obviously, I can’t get one out of my 16-year-old brother. I have to wait for 10 years to even get one. I can list 20 more reasons why I want to trade lives with her but there are certain negatives that you wouldn't expect right away.



When it comes to being a senior in high school, you have a lot of pressure put on you. Let alone high expectations. Especially when you are going to university next year. This would mean 2 am bedtime, no mental breaks and 5 am wakeup time. That’s quite hard and she’s doing well! Show me your ways because that seems stressful for me. Maybe because I’m just 13.



After wearing someone else’s shoes, I now see that people’s lives are not how you see it physically. Of course, she’s talented in so many ways, not only in the arts but that’s work ethic! Just typing the negative features in her life may have made me panic about highschool. That’s probably enough imagining today.




Note: Greetings my fellow readers and welcome newcomers. I hope you guys are doing well during this pandemic because it has been hard on all of us. Many people have been drowsy during this time and some have been having a tough time with mental health. Especially anyone who's coping with that. Stress and anxiety hit hard during this quarantine. As much as I, We, want to complain about the harsh year of 2020 but maybe it's time we start acknowledging the positives or memories you had this year to light up our world. I'll start off by saying what good experiences I've had this year. 

In the first month of 2020, three things come to my mind in a snap. I won a character trait award, I made a new friend who is my best friend now and my marks were increasing. On my birthday month, I obviously... had my 13th birthday where I was introduced to Teenhood. I was one of the winners for a draw at my school and watched one of my new, all-time favourite movies, Frozen II. (Don't knock it till you try it). March was honestly a great time with friends and that's when I started this website which was nerve-racking for me. In April, I started to get more inspired for the trilogy series that I haven't written yet but definitely have dreamt of.
