In this heartfelt and relatable TED Talk, the speaker uses a simple pair of tangled earphones to illustrate one of life’s deepest truths — our minds often feel knotted, messy, and overloaded. Through candid personal stories, from navigating family expectations to witnessing the harm of online ridicule, they uncover the silent battles many of us fight daily — inside our minds and across our digital lives.Blending imagery, vulnerability, and everyday examples, the talk reveals that peace isn’t the absence of problems but the presence of patience, compassion, and small acts of kindness. With reminders that we are never truly alone in our struggles, it urges us to stop pulling harder against life’s knots and instead gently untangle them — both within ourselves and in the world around us. I am a 14-year-old with a mind that never stops asking ‘why’. I am always on the lookout for meaning behind everyday moments. I am a cricket enthusiast with love for reading books, and listening to music, I find joy in both movement and stillness and have a passion for understanding people and the world around me. Every new opportunity is a chance for me to grow—I enjoy discovering, learning, and putting my skills to the test. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
