When I left for hostel ,I had a curiosity to test myself , I wanted to observe myself , I challenged myself to adjust in a completely different atmosphere . I still remember on my first hostel day I left my home with an anxiety knot in my stomach but I kept mellowing myself down because I did not wanted to make my mother nervous as well. I waved off my parents with a big smile masking the hollowness and loneliness that I experienced at that moment. I convinced myself that I was fine. But as the night approached my emotions overpowered my lonesome soul and came out as tears from my eyes. I cried like a baby. It felt as if someone has taken a part of me and my heart sank down. I cried a river to let go my grief of separation from my loved ones, my parents, my family . Today it feels completely different , I now realise how important is it to let go of the people we are most attached to, it breaks our heart open, helps us realise our potential to the hilt. It makes you more emotionall
