Inauspicious Face or Inauspicious Mindset? A man in a kingdom became infamous for having an inauspicious face. People believed that seeing his face in the morning would bring them misfortune throughout the day. As this belief grew stronger, people started avoiding him and even blamed him for their bad luck. Eventually, the townspeople took their complaint to the king.

The Urge to Run
The urge to run was bigger than the urge to stay. I had so many reasons to run. , I always thought running never solved anything until one day it did. People say leaving is the hard part but it’s not. Knowing you can never go back is one of the hardest lessons you can learn. I don’t know where it all began. I know that I am not alone in this. I am not the first girl who desperately needed a way out and I know that I wouldn’t be the last. I genuinely felt like I had to run to undo my mistake. I had to try at least. Maybe there I would like myself and finally work on my mental health. Before he died he told me that if we can feel happiness we should be grateful. The more he isn’t here the more I want to run. I always used to say that I wouldn’t leave without him but I can’t stay here without him. It just doesn't feel right. I know too much about this city. Sometimes a city will tell you when it’s time to go.

My Third Challenge - Understanding impact of Depression on Loved Ones
In depression, one thing I had to remind myself is “Truth lies.” I felt worthless, unlovable, alone, though it is miles from the truth. Despite the lies my depression told me, the unwavering support of those around me revealed a truth I couldn’t see. In this challenge, I want to acknowledge the efforts of another important group: people who loved me in my darkest.

Connection Between Stress and Physical Health
Physical health outcomes result directly from the weight of stress which exceeds its emotional load. Long-term stressful situations create medical conditions such as heart disease which además leads to weak immunity and ongoing pain issues.

Which provides connections to professionals specializing in stress management and mental health treatment.

Fear in a Box. Top Story - January 2025.
I recently had an experience which has made me thoughtful and reflective (and all of those introspective adjectives) and I wrote about it on here. I actually dressed it up as a story, which was a little naughty of me. The reason for doing it was two-fold: I wanted it to read like fiction rather than a first person account; and the distance of the third-person created a detachment to the events that I sort of felt at the time and sort of didn't.

"NO MORE GASLIGHTING". Content Warning.
Galighting is everywhere. It has always been here, but it is now the trend trickling down from the Whithouse spreading unfiltered to the people. I am bored with that form of mentality. It causes mental health issues and societal and psychological problems with human beings.
