Mental health is a fundamental right; the future of humanity depends on it.

Grief Is Funny Like That
I never expected him to actually finish anything. He was always leaving. I always picture him with a suitcase in his hand. Sometimes I wonder what he would look like now. When I close my eyes I still see his smile and I swear I could smell him, Well him before the shooting. I dream of him sometimes and he's smiling and walking toward me and then I wake up. I wake up happy then reality sets in. For a long time, I wasn't able to talk about it. Even thinking about his death made me sick to my stomach. Sometimes thinking about it still makes me sick to my stomach almost nine years later. I thought that I would be less traumatized by it after all of these years but I'm not. I'm still that traumatized 17-year-old who just lost her best friend to gun violence. Things can change in a heartbeat. If we didn't walk down that street at that time he would still be here. I would still have my best friend here. But I can't change that. It took me years to stop blaming myself. Somedays I still blame myself or I blame God. Not the actual person who murdered him.

My Thoughts about 'Geek Girls Don't Cry'- part one
Can I say this out loud? Wow! This book is incredible! Incredibly well-done! Great for all ages of girls & women. I got a copy of this book before my 31st birthday. Back in the Holidays of 2018, I saw some updates about that new book that Marisha Ray & Andrea Towers are doing something about how to be a strong & an amazing role model in real life just like the pop culture heroines. I’m like Marisha, I had been through so many gender stigmas about games & superheroes. I grew up with all kinds of outstanding things including NES (Nintendo Entertainment System), Power Rangers, X men, etc. I would like to share how I overcame my fears, trauma, isolation, grief, and adversity after I read each chapter from Geek Girls Don’t Cry. Ready? Here we go!

Empathy // Rediscovered
» KEY POINTS One day, something broke... or rather repaired... inside of me. Suddenly feeling empathy for the first time helped me realize that I had been missing so much. There is a massive gap between the compassion I did feel and thought was enough and actual empathy for other human beings.

Being Me
Being Unique & Always “the Other” Born in a refugee camp following WW2 to parents fleeing from Lithuania just ahead of Stalin's army, I have always been the outsider, the foreigner, the stranger. Till 18, I didn’t even qualify for the citizenship of any country. Truly an outsider.

"Try the spell, magic always happens."
"Try the spell, magic always happens." Have you ever thought about magic in some ways? Have you ever felt that magic doesn't exist? You're right, magic doesn't exist, but somehow it does exist. Do you know why?

Nothing about the grieving process is easy. Nothing. Not even the sitting around and crying. Those tears are the most gut-wrenching tears many of us will ever shed and each one slashes through us as if our flesh were nothing more than a suggestion.

How can I live in the moment?
Let's start by asking a rhetorical question to find out why - why can't many people live in the present moment. It's just these twelve words: dwelling on the past. Anxiety about the future. Do not like the present moment.

How to relieve anxiety in daily life?
People are generally anxious nowadays. Some people get up in the morning to listen to the "60 seconds speech" sent by Luo Jisi, and after listening to it, they send it to the group for their friends to praise; on the way to work, they wear headphones and listen to the "5 minutes to listen to a book" in Himalaya, and secretly rejoice that they have grown a lot; when they go to work When I'm at work, I'm still busy, frantically brushing up the funny answers on Zhihu. Every day is full of arrangements for yourself, afraid that if you miss a little, you will lose a lot. These are all signs of anxiety.

Grief
My husband is dead. I say that as much for myself as I say it for you, dear reader. I still have to remind myself. It’s been very nearly a month. Both the longest and shortest month of my life. Time no longer seems linear—I just float around inside the days and bump from one moment to the next.

Everyone has an inferiority complex
Do you believe that an inferiority complex is born with it? There must be people who think, "How is it possible? A newborn baby knows nothing, how can it have an inferiority complex? But there is such a discipline as psychology, and there are some great psychologists, for human beings from the beginning of the world, the psychological research began, babies do not know anything, they just can not express, no ability to express, when a life just came to this world, he can not rely on their strength to survive, everyone will be because of their incompetence and produce inferiority complex. Freud, Erikson, Adler, and other great psychologists have emphasized the influence of infancy on later personality. Many of Adler's ideas in psychology can be found in his childhood experiences.
