2021, was difficult period for me because I went to depression and I tried to commit suicide. I went to depression because of my study pressure. My parents wanted to see me as a doctor.

Some ‘Me Time’ - New Year, New Resolution
Thinking about the New Year's Resolution for the upcoming year, my heart wonders about all the things that human promises and impose on oneself.
