"It's become so difficult to survive in a society when you have a thin body and also, with average scores at school. People laugh at your weakness. The only reason my fellow classmates talked with me was because I was good at art and thus, I did their SUPW projects. Due to my insecurities, I failed to adore and love myself.
When I asked my parents to let me become a fashion designer, they denied as they were skeptical about the financial stability. Thus, I pursued Sociology and got a job as an Academic Counselor.
I had adapted this new life, new interest and new job, but then, I saw my old craft. It felt surreal and wanted to live with this feeling forever. My little sister suggested that we should start a digital store and after thinking for a week, I gave my resignation and decided to make a page.
That decision gave me a boost, I was like, "Enough of the boundaries that I have allowed people to set for me. Enough of the dicey relatives and fake friends. This life is my own, no human has the right to make or break me!"
I started listening only from the people who meant to me and were selfless. My Mousi and Mom are still fighting with my relatives as they keep getting into my way. My Art built my confidence and also, a circle of people who have my back. It also did a miracle by healing the scars which had been tormenting me for years." - Sweta Dash.
