5 Reasons why people who cry are more than awesome
Are you the one who is scared to cry ? Are you a man who is never taught to cry ? Or Are you so powerful that you need not cry ? People may try to suppress tears as they see them as a symbol of weakness especially the gender specifications make them to do so, but science suggests that doing so could mean missing out on a plethora of benefits. Researches have shown a wide variety of reasons why crying is beneficial and what effects does it have on an individual, let us examine some of them today. Helps us to get relief from pain Research has found that along with self-soothing effect on an invidual, shedding emotional tears releases oxytocin and endorphins. These chemicals make us feel good as humans and also ease both physical as well as emotional pain. In this way, crying can help reduce multiple painful areas and promote a sense of well-being. Helps in a sound sleep A study has found that crying can help babies sleep better. Whether crying has the similar sleep-improvement effect on adults is yet to be researched. However, it follows that the calming, mood-improvement, and pain-relieving effects of crying above may help a person fall asleep more easily without hesitation. Emotionally Stronger in terms of strong Gender society Crying is stigmatised for both sexes especially for men. If a female cries it’s because she’s unstable or needs attention from others. If a male cries, he’s girly, or, my people’s favourite, not manly enough. All of these stigmas encourage both sexes to submerge their sadness to the depths of their soul. But also, those who allow themselves to be sad in public are not only proven to be brave, but also activists for an emotionally healthier society emerging as leaders of tomorrow. Improves vision Basal tears, which are released every time a person blinks, help to keep the eyes moist which is necessary day to day requirement and prevent mucous membranes from drying out. As a study explains, the lubricating effect of basal tears helps people to visualise more clearly. When the membranes dry out, vision can become blurry and many of us notice that sometimes. Therapeutic Effect of Tears Psychological researches have shown that crying stimulates our brain’s endorphin release, the “feel-good” hormones that also act as a natural pain killer. Crying also lowers manganese levels, a chemical that, when overexposed to, can exasperate the brain and body. This allows us to think clearer about the problem and not be so overwhelmed by it, think about it when next time you make your decision. A short story about a man who was reluctant to make himself display the soft feature of his personality, so whenever he felt to cry at any moment, he turned away himself or in the laughter but one day when he felt himself overwhelmed while making love to a woman in his entire life, his wife, his eyes began rolling down the unstoppable tears and when her soulmate saw that, she was confused on the scenic masculinity he always displayed on the outer side. The question came up with a smile on her lips to which he explained that in his entire life, he did not feel himself to express himself in front of anyone due to society image and his strong character but when someone felt him to the soul, he had nothing to say but tears which was accepted by her without any further query. So, next time you see a person in tears, instead of making fun or smiling at the face, remember last time what therapy you had them for ?

Learn from your mistakes to succeed in life
It is not easy for students to leave their past behind them. No matter what, they seem to get rolled up in the things they did as a child. Their mistakes catch up to them, and they are made to feel like everything that's going wrong in their lives is because of them. Yes, to some extent, it is difficult to leave your past behind and to move on after learning from your mistakes, but it is not entirely an easy task. Many people will tell you that you should make mistakes and learn from them. While they do stand correct, the most crucial part isn't making mistakes. It is to learn from them.

Gems for the Generation
Hands clenched in fist, heart pacing, mind racing ... how did i end up here! how did i lose it all! and manage to keep my mental sanity. Recalling the melody of Drakes Furthest thing.. im somewhere between anxious and depressed.. im somewhere between to blessed to be stressed. The only thing im clear on is what im thinking and feeling in this very moment. TAKE THE NEXT STEP FORWARD! How come no one ever told me that all the uncertainty is designed to distract you from your past (avoiding) and your future (escaping) and ground into the present( right now)! You dont have time to analyze the details of destruction. You dont have time to self blame, shame or rearrange. Control is an illusion it seems that knowing the output of an interaction provide security, when in reality the only control you have is of self, everything external of you is the variable. It's designed to change, to flow, to grow. HAAAA NOW WE'RE IN THE SWEET SPOT!

I have no idea wtf I’m doing... and it’s okay
As I find myself desperately trying to adjust to our new reality it feels as though I am constantly being humbled and reminded by my aggressive mental health to take a breath. Recently I have been overwhelmed by the fact that all while being simultaneously pelted with overall life and the thrills and head aches that come with it, life seem to not be slowing down. I’ve never experienced such a high pace version of life before and I am realizing that literally NO ONE HAS. Im sure the year 2020 has been absolutely crazy for me as it has for a lot of people. During this year we've all experienced a pandemic, historic racial and political movements, and global crisis. We all experienced the same thing and yet will all have different stories. The world has abruptly changed and in order to grow we must adapt. I believe that we all have the power to adjust and grow!

Excerpt From An Upcoming Book By Kathy Williams
Froggie The Frog © May 30, 2020 by Kathy Williams Froggie The Frog You could call froggie high strung. He had a lot on his mind. His father was away a lot and kids generally wanted to tease him. You know how kids are. Some kids take their problems and frustrations out on other kids. The problem with froggie was he was hurting a lot. He was afraid a lot. And he was teased a lot. His usual reaction was venting. Venting his anger and frustration always made him feel better. He never aimed it at anyone in particular. Just getting it out of his system so to speak made him feel better. One day while he was tossing a coin a brilliant idea came to him. What if I make a mural and put it in my front yard and every time I get teased or feel anger I write the words ditoo on it. I bet I would feel better and wouldn't have to scream and yell. So froggie built the most beautiful mural anyone had ever seen in his father's front yard and every time he got teased or picked on he wrote the word ditoo on his mural and he always felt better.

Failure to Communicate
Failure to Communicate Communication fails on many different levels from language, grammar, to tone of voice and more. In the article 8 Ways to Improve Your Communication Right Now I see some general suggestions that when applied can help. Before we move on to the article’s list I would like to point out that communication should have and or follow a format. This article being written as a professional piece of journalism should have been edited as such. The title does not follow the Associated Press standards so it loses some credibility for me due to the less than professional edited content. Numbers in the single digits should be spelled out! The title should read Eight Ways to Improve Your Communication Right Now!
