About Me- Arpita Srivastava
Sometimes the most difficult thing to describe yourself.
Hi everyone, I got to know about this About Me Publication recently. I learned that we can introduce ourselves here. But when I started thinking about how to describe myself, it took 2–3 days which you will get to know below.
Myself Arpita Srivastava. I am from India. I am a Software Engineer by profession. I love to write, but I joined Medium to write what I am learning professionally, but now MEDIUM is the medium to express myself personally.
My Life.
My family was well-known in society in terms of respect and money. My grandfather has 7 children and died when my father was in his teens. My father studied and when he started earning, he took care of his siblings. When I was young we had everything, we can have whatever we wanted. Then in the year 2000, my father lost his job and he was jobless for around 5 years, all his savings were gone, then we started having a financial crisis.
My brother and I used to save money by not spending our pocket money. We have seen the struggle in everything by not having money, no best schools, no to best colleges, and my father and mother health issues.
After my college, I started learning skills to get a job. I started giving tuition to pay the rent. After a few years, I got the job and my family conditions started getting better mentally and physically.
One thing I learned in these years is that you cannot fight alone and you never were because you have family and friends. In tough times you will get those supporting strangers that will become your friend and one may become your family like I met my husband in college days.
Hahaha, I know it sounds like a movie story but everyone’s life is a movie in some ways, its have struggle, love, happiness, and more.
My Life Mantra “Never have regrets in your life, if you think not doing something makes you regret it in the future just do it right away.”
Me and my Husband were in a long-distance relationship. Trust me it’s the most difficult thing in all the ways, you have to schedule time in which you can talk, meet once a year, can only support each other on the call if you have a bad phase, miscommunications, multiple breakups and so on. But now it’s all worth😇.
What do I love to write?
I love to write things that come from my heart, those feeling, those experiences that I had. I did 21 days Yoga Challenge, it was the most different and amazing experience I had. Then I wrote about having Self Doubt that I was having for a few weeks. I love when someone reads if and finds it useful for them, since am an introvert, I find this way to express myself easily. I you like to write something like thing I will love to add you guys in my Live With Gratitude publication.
I also love to travel, I went Solo Travelling and it was an amazing experience you can have. I love to read books, mostly self-help and development that help me to stay motivated and also I learn different ways to handle situations.
As it said always learn from others’ experiences too. Reading books is the best way to do that.
And for traveling I love this quote the most:
This is all about me guys, will love to know about you too, so write about yourself too, its the best way to know yourself too.
If you like it please follow me, give some claps, and also comment that what you what me to write.🙌😊👋
