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.

Call me crazy
Clutching on to my mother’s arm, I felt the concrete expanse of Hong Kong grow taller — like shadows of a setting sun — and loom over me. I kept my head ducked from the towering figures and hidden cameras that I believed were watching me. Stepping in to sunlight was terrifying because it meant I couldn’t hide from an omnipresent *them*.
