The following is a Guest Post and may not be in line with the philosophy of Our Alter Ego. I just wanted to give people the opportunity I always thirsted for but never got, which is a platform for expression. I hope you appreciate the endeavours.
Be Light,
Much Love,

Adolescence is the bitter sweet phase between your childhood and your adulthood. It is the phase where you slowly get exposed to the real, cruel world. My experience as an adolescent was quite bumpy but yet fruitful.
At the beginning of my adolescence I was still naïve and ignorant just like I was when I was a child. This might perhaps be due to the fact that I was still quite cocooned by my parents and family.
However, everything changed the day that I unexpectedly lost someone who was very close to me. That day was what really marked my transition from a child into an adolescent. I realized how unpredictable life is and for the sake of everyone and myself I learnt to accept life the way it came to me and to be strong no matter what happens.
From that day I can really say that I matured. I saw life in a different manner. I witnessed the cruelty in the actions of many, I lost some friends and gained some others, I learnt to differentiate right from wrong, I learnt to create my own opinions without being influenced, I learnt to not let myself be manipulated and not to give in to temptations, I saw goodness in many people and learnt to stay away from those who were ‘toxic’ and the list could go on and on.
My adolescence is when I really created my own being and my own purpose in this world and though it started gloomily it ended on a good note.
