The Bird Cage
The foundation was never built on being successful together. From the beginning the plan was to separate us, uproot our families and force us to bond with chaos herself. The plan worked perfectly. Look at us… fighting among our selves like rabid dogs. Everyone only wants best for them. Their sons and daughters, their check, their relationship. Life is a journey, but the paths we take have long been manipulated by our own species, turned into something heinous and foul. We’ve never seen eye to eye with each other; starting war after war killing our sons and daughters for the sake of land, money, and overall power of the world. As humans this is our common denominator and has been for millennium. Why is that? Is it because history repeats itself so were destined to continuously duplicate our timeline? Are we just evil beings with nothing better to do than procreate and eliminate? Great questions, but none of the answers matter. Why they ask? Isn’t that how we would begin to solve problems? No, the way to solve problems is not to answer large on topic questions about a broad subject. Solving problems is to force change and for something to change something, or someone must take action.

Psychology: People who know how to present themselves are more likely to be favored by love
Love needs to be expressed. You don’t tell the other person your love, even if the other person has a good impression on you, he will not know what you really think.

"Help!"... And Breathe
"Help! I need somebody, Help! not just any body, Help! you know I need someone... Heeeelllllpppp!" Famously sung by The Beatles, this iconic lyrical has undoubtedly spun around the turntable time and time again as the backdrop for many a meltdown. You can thank me later when this earworm is wriggling around your head... it's been in mine for the last hour!

Sidonglobophobia and Misophonia
There's a certain type of snow that is flakey, wet snow in the above freezing air, and compacts under the feet when walked upon, giving off a squeaky 'ginchy' sound as it compresses under the walker's weight. In Sweden, they call this 'knarra', which translates into 'creak' I call it ginchy and have used that word for as long as I can remember.

Do a mood stable person
I saw a question in some time, let me think about it, what is a real mature sign? Seeing an answer deep into the heart: even if the inner waves, the surface can also be light.

Can't be too idle
There is an interesting thing, and a person does not feel itchy, but it is not able to scratch, and the result is more and more itchy.

Let's Vibe
If there's anything abundant in our American society today, I would have to say it's emotional and psychological hurt. I don't believe there's a person alive that hasn't experienced the pain that this world has to offer, but in America in particular, people are hurting. In recent months the entire world, and especially the United States, have seen immense pain and grief with the onslaught of covid-19. Lives have been upended and cases of mental health issues have skyrocketed. I've seen friends and family, people who I figured were impervious to things like anxiety, suddenly deal with mental health problems they've never experienced before. And I know what this means and what it feels like, because I've been there, and I want to tell others that healing, even from deep trauma, is real and attainable.

Do people who write about Mental Health have it all figured out?
I mostly write about my struggle with OCD, and I often end up giving some insights in my articles about how to cope up with OCD. When I read my articles that have been published, I cannot help but feel that I and the girl who writes these articles are two different people altogether. Sometimes I feel as if I have this motivational, sunny side of me and then there’s the other drab, colorless side that decides to make an entrance every now and then. Today I was pounded by quite a few thought-provoking questions:

The Shadow Creeping In
The shadow, the dark, the bleakness of the demon on my shoulders. Pushing me under the stillness of the water, forcing me into the depths of my mind. Even though I’m surrounded by the light the darkness takes over. My eyes become tunneled and fixed and all the awful feelings come flooding in, causing me to take deeper breaths and receiving little air. This demon knows me well, it knows where to poke and prod and to get maximum torture in my mind, an expert of its craft. It lets me become clear for moments at a time. Then it pushes me under, again and again, sinking its jagged teeth into my thoughts making my vision darker showing little to no light. The memories come flooding in to provoke a response, tears begin flooding from my eyes. My chest begins to contract and ache with the weight of my burdens to bear. Regrets pile in from the past and familiar faces of those I wronged whisper in my ears “you're to blame”. “ This is your fault”.
