From Lost to Curious – My Journey Back to Science

There was a time I truly believed that science wasn’t made for me.

I wasn’t a topper. I wasn’t the kind of student who solved questions quickly or stayed ahead in class. Physics, chemistry, mathematics — they felt like enemies. My mind was full of complaints about the system, the textbooks, and the pressure. And maybe deep down, I was scared. Scared that I wasn’t smart enough.

But something changed.

It wasn’t sudden. It was a slow-burning question that refused to leave me alone — “Why does the universe exist at all?” I started watching videos, reading strange theories, learning how gravity bends time, how light can curve, how the universe expands and dies, and maybe begins again.

One day, I just sat quietly, looked at the stars, and felt something I can’t explain. A sort of connection. That was the day I realized — science isn’t about getting the right answer. It’s about asking the right questions.

I started again. With basics. With doubts. With real curiosity.

I failed again. But I kept going.

And the more I explored, the more I felt like I wasn’t studying science — I was becoming part of it. Now I make content, reels, and stories about these very ideas. I explain them in my own way, because I know I’m not alone. There are so many like me who just need one honest story to feel less scared.

If you’re reading this, and you feel behind — trust me, you’re not. You’re just at the beginning.

Science isn’t about being perfect. It’s about being curious enough to keep going.
