Dear Amiya
I am amazed by your essay, “Finding a purpose”, because everything was nicely said. More specifically I really enjoyed the way you explained the pressure of “being successful”. This essay really enlightened me.
One sentence you wrote that stands out for me is: “This is both a blessing and a curse.” I think this is relateable because constantly pressuring yourself to make sure you’re successful can be stressful as well as overwhelming when that’s all youre worrying about.
Thanks for your writing. I look forward to seeing what you write next, because I really liked the way you worded everything that was said. This post was relatable for the most part.
