How to care for oneself while grieving
How to care for oneself while grieving Grief in its entirety strikes while you least expect it. The atrocity of sadness lies in the false notion of being alone and having it all together all the time. To be or not to be in the constant state of despair is not in one’s hands, as melancholy varies in its intensity ranging from a dejected mood to deep and chronic loneliness. Oftentimes people subject their negativity to a mere passage of time, but often there is an underlying cause that needs to be addressed and healed to become in a state of awareness of their emotions and innate being. It is important to bring light to the need to embrace one’s emotions and not shame ourselves with guilt when we don't feel happy or in rhythm with our souls. Often we lose the sense of self when surrounded by grief.

Humans are social animals
Humans are social animals and naturally form societies and civilizations. We also engage in smaller groups like sports teams or book clubs. Social psychology explores how we interact with others, how being in different groups affects our behavior, and how we perceive ourselves and others. This field aims to understand how social context influences a person's behavior.

Art and Suffering
There exists a school of thought that maintains that without great suffering and depth of experience, no truly great art can arise. Why does it seem like so many artists, both in the past and in more recent times, appear to have been the victims of so many misfortunes, turbulent psychological states, unhappy childhoods and family backgrounds, and miserable or failed marriages and relationships? Is this unhappiness perhaps part and parcel of the human condition, and are artists just the more obvious or poetic martyrs?

The Struggle of Mental Health in "Hamlet" by W. Shakespeare
Whispered in the darkness, this inquiry initiates a narrative of intrigue, deceit, and ethical ambiguity. In a theatrical production where each character conceals something, the response to this question is anything but straightforward. Penned by William Shakespeare between 1599 and 1601, "Hamlet" portrays its eponymous protagonist tormented by the past, yet paralyzed by the future.
