In the dim light of my room, I sit surrounded by walls adorned with posters of places I’ve never been and dreams I’ve yet to chase. The whispers of the world outside—friends laughing, the hum of traffic—echo through the window, reminding me of the noise of expectations and the weight of reality pressing in. The mirror reflects a face still searching for identity, a teen caught between the innocence of childhood and the daunting horizon of adulthood.
I wrestle with the shadows of my own doubts, the unspoken fears of never being enough. My parents’ well-meaning advice often feels like chains, binding me to paths I don’t want to tread. They don’t understand the music that speaks to my soul, the art that pours from my hands, the stories I want to tell. I dream of being a voice in the crowd, of making a difference, but sometimes it feels like shouting into the void. The weight of unfulfilled potential sits heavy on my shoulders, and I wonder if I’ll ever find my way.
And so, I write—my pen, my sword against the darkness. In these lines, I find myself, shedding the skin of who I’m supposed to be to discover who I am. As the night deepens, a verse comes to mind: “In the quiet storm within, I seek the eye of peace, to stand tall amidst the chaos and let my true self release.”

When you shout at elderly people, it can hurt them. Imagine how it feels when someone raises their voice at you—it’s scary and unsettling, right? Elderly folks often feel the same, but even more so because they might already be dealing with feelings of vulnerability.
Shouting can make them feel disrespected and undervalued. They might start to think they’re being treated like a burden, which can really hurt their self-esteem. Emotionally, it can be very distressing, leading to sadness or even depression. They might withdraw from social interactions, feeling humiliated and hurt.
Moreover, stress from such situations can worsen existing health issues like heart problems or high blood pressure. It’s not just about their feelings; it can have real physical consequences too. Plus, yelling at them can create barriers in communication, making them less likely to speak up about their needs or concerns.
So, it’s super important to approach elderly people with patience and kindness. Speaking to them with respect helps them feel valued and supported, which is crucial for their overall well-being.
