When I think of that day, I feel the earth moving under my feet and the sky tumbling down. Yes, it was heartbreaking. I left my home out of crying eyes seeking equanimity. My parents were involved in the fight, insult, and assault. That day, I was aware of what I was going to do but unaware of what would happen. Before that day, I came home holding my diploma and about to give the news of my achievement to my family. But when I reached, parents were engaged in loud arguments and abusing one another. Watching the scenario, I became numb and right that moment a bunch of strange thoughts came over me. Later, I shared the good news but no one cared about it. As if my achievement did not mean anything to them. “You are not going to study instead you would work in the neighboring dates garden like your father,” my mother said to me. Those words were powerful enough to echo in my head, suddenly my mind filled up with different negative and unhealthy thoughts. So to ease my mind and to think clearly I wanted to have sometimes alone. I needed an idea or to make a decision that would lead me to success and change. No success is possible without planning. Therefore, I packed my things and left for Gwadar. It is a beautiful city with high mountains, silk sand dunes, preserved historical sites, amazing sceneries, and long beaches. In my culture, the sea is sacred and perceived to be a symbol of supernatural power. Besides, the coastal area is famous for its great amount of shrines. It is said, that these shrines make the city a sacred place where wishes come true. The beauty of Gwadar can be summed up by a saying "The eyes which did not see Gwadar, has seen nothing". I have never been there before so I did not care. When I arrived, it was already dark and I felt really exhausted. So, I stayed in a local hotel. The next day, when I woke up, I felt overloaded with stress and tension but at the time I went outside trying to enjoy the scenery. It was like a wonderland, everything was so pleasant, beautiful and peaceful that as I walked on the beach, I came across nature. Looking at the mesmerizing beauty, I forgot all the difficulties of life which distressed me. For the next two days, I explored the city, mingled with the people, ate and tasted different local food. I enjoyed every moment and lived to the fullest. To save those movements, I started to write about my trip. When I planned to return home, all the seen assault I forgot, once again reappeared into my mind. Worse than that, the darkness of night brought me across the fear. I remained dejected, so I began to write a suicide note. I did not want to go back to live a miserable life. While writing the note, in the calmness I felt I have not taken the taste of life. There I stopped writing and then it was getting morning. Before the story finish I desired to stand on the beach see the waves, had my pen and notebook in my hand, I saw the sun rising. It was triggering hope, motivation, and realized that there is a way out. That healed my wounds and answered all my big questions. I tore the suicide note and wrote several letters to the wealthy people of the city supporting me in career. The very scenery gave me tremendous courage to work, learn and thrive. In return, I received one letter of kindness out of nine. That really changed me and made my life. It is what today enjoying a healthy normal life.
