🌈 Soujanya and the Mirror of Feelings
Soujanya was a bright little girl with eyes full of wonder and a heart that loved stories. But lately, she felt like a cloud was following her around.
Not a real cloud, of course.
This one was invisible—like a tiny gray raincloud that floated over her head, whispering things she didn’t want to hear:
“They think you’re weird.”
“You talk too little.”
“You're not good enough.”
It didn’t matter if people smiled at her.
The cloud still mumbled.
It followed her to school, to the playground, even to the dinner table.
She felt like a balloon losing air—quieter and smaller every day.
🪞 One Rainy Tuesday…
Soujanya was sitting alone on the school bench, her shoulders slouched like a tired sunflower. That’s when her teacher gently called her inside to meet someone.
“Soujanya,” the teacher smiled, “This is Miss Raheela. She helps kids with tricky feelings.”
Raheela’s office smelled like warm tea and soft books. Her voice was calm, like a cozy blanket.
Raheela handed Soujanya a small hand mirror.
It was shiny, simple… and magical.
“This mirror doesn’t just show your face,” she whispered with a kind smile.
“It shows your thoughts.”
Soujanya looked in.
At first, she saw her sad face, her quiet eyes. But then—
✨A message slowly appeared on the mirror:
“Are they really thinking that? Or is your fear wearing their faces?”
Soujanya blinked. The message faded. Another one popped up:
“You don’t have to believe every thought you hear.”
Her heart thumped like a soft drum.
Could that be true?
Maybe the cloud wasn’t coming from the outside... maybe it was coming from inside.
🌼 The Secret Mission
From that day, Soujanya started a little secret mission.
She called it: “Operation Mirror Magic.”
Every time the cloud came back, whispering old worries, Soujanya talked back gently
—like a big sister talking to a scared younger one.
-
When someone looked at her, and the voice said, “They’re laughing at you,” she answered,
“Maybe they’re just smiling. Maybe they like my hair.”
-
When the voice said, “You’re not good enough,” she said,
“I’m learning. Flowers don’t bloom in one day.”
-
And when she made a mistake, and the cloud roared, “Everyone saw!”
She whispered,
“Even stars fall before they shine again.”
Bit by bit, the raincloud grew smaller. Her voice, once a tiny mouse, became a soft bird. Then a bright song. She started raising her hand in class, smiling more, and laughing without looking around to check if it was okay.
She still had hard days—don’t we all? But now, she carried her mirror inside her heart.
She no longer searched every face for judgment.
She started looking for kindness.
And the amazing thing?
She found it. Everywhere.
🦋 The Mirror’s Final Message
One day, when Soujanya visited Raheela again, she brought the mirror back.
“It helped,” she said, eyes sparkling.
“But I don’t think I need it anymore.”
Raheela smiled. “Why not?”
Soujanya grinned.
“Because now, my thoughts talk like you. Gentle. Kind. Hopeful.”
And for the first time, she saw her own reflection—not through fear, but through love.
💡 MORALS of the Story
🌟 Your thoughts are not always true. Be kind when you listen.
🌟 When you change how you see yourself, the world begins to smile back.
🌟 Even small brave steps can make dark clouds disappear.
🌟 You don’t have to believe every voice in your head. Believe the kind ones.
💬 Final Thought:
Everyone has a mirror in their heart.
Make sure yours reflects love, courage, and truth—not just fear.
Because just like Soujanya discovered:
“ The room didn’t change. I did.”
