Unknown Mind: Viyan’s Diary – Part 3: The Unspoken Fight

 🧠 **Unknown Mind: Viyan’s Diary – Part 3: The Unspoken Fight**


Some fights happen with fists.  

Others… happen in silence.


After Yalini’s smile, something inside me softened.  

But outside… things didn’t get easier.


There was this one guy — **Kirthan**.  

He was loud. Confident. Always the center of attention.  

And he didn’t like people who didn’t clap for him.


One day in class, he cracked a joke about me.  

Not funny — just cruel.


The class laughed.


I didn’t.


Neither did Yalini.


But I didn’t respond.  

No shouting. No scene.  

I just looked at him… and held that silence.


The bell rang. Everyone left.  

I stayed behind, pretending to take notes.


Then I heard footsteps.  

Yalini.


She didn’t speak. Just sat next to me.  

And said one sentence:


> “You don’t have to fight out loud to be brave.”


I looked at her.  

For the first time, I felt *seen*.  

Not for how I looked. But for what I held inside.


That evening, Kirthan walked past me again — no insult this time.  

Just a glance… and he walked on.


It wasn’t fear.  

It was respect.


The kind that silence earns after it refuses to bend.


That day, I didn’t just win a fight.


I won a friend in Yalini.


And I won a piece of myself back.


🖋️ — *Viyan*

Unknown Mind: Viyan’s Diary – Part 1 : The Break That Built Me

They always saw me as “soft.” Quiet. Obedient. Always adjusting. My name is Viyan — And this is the moment everything changed. After we lost everything, My brother Devakumar and I left our town, carrying pain instead of luggage. It happened on a dusty afternoon... A crowded bus in an unfamiliar city. I took a seat, head down — like always. Then came Saran . He mocked me, loud enough for the entire bus. Laughter spread. My hands trembled. My lips froze. Everyone turned— waiting to see what the quiet boy would do. And then… something inside me snapped. I stood up. I didn’t yell. I didn’t cry. I just… spoke. That wasn’t just a reply. It was my rebirth . That bus ride didn’t break me — It built me. ✍️ And this is where Viyan’s story truly begins…

Yes — **you**, reading this. --- This isn’t just my diary anymore.   It’s alive.   It finds those who are close to the edge.   The ones who feel like their dreams   are warnings.

Unknown Mind: Viyan’s Diary – Part 6: Mirror of My Mind

My mind was full. Overflowing. Loud. Blank. Everything at once. Appa said, “It’ll pass… We’ve seen worse.” But it didn’t feel like it would. Until she came. Yalini didn’t ask me to smile. She didn’t bring chocolate or flowers. She brought a mirror . A small round one. From her bag. She handed it to me and said: “I want you to look into this… and tell me if you still see the same boy from the bus.” I didn’t speak. But I looked. And I saw him. The boy who shook on a bus. The boy who wrote pain into pages. But also… The boy who stood up. The boy who didn’t quit. The boy who was still here. Tears dropped. She didn’t wipe them. She just sat beside me and whispered, “This time, you’re not vanishing. You’re becoming.” That night, I wrote again. Not just in the diary. But on a small sticky note. I pasted it near my mirror. “I am still here. And I’m not done.” That was the first time I chose to fight. Not for survival. But for myself . 🖋️ — Viyan
