trauma

At its core, trauma can be thought of as the psychological wounds that persist, even when the physical ones are long gone.

Lost In Their Minds.
Once upon a time I went to the market. I saw many people, some buying fruits, some eating, some cleaning the floor, some calling their loved ones, some were laughing and some about to cry. I saw one thing which was common. I.e. all of them were lost. Only some were actually thinking about what they were doing. Most of them were lost in their minds. Some thinking about how to widen their business. Some how to get a job. Some dreaming of a trip. Some how to get promoted. All of them had thoughts and least of them had right thoughts. I found that the solution for all of those minds was to have right thoughts. But what are right thoughts? Rights thoughts are not the genius ideas or the thoughts of high quality. Right thoughts are the thoughts about what we are doing right now. Because if we have thoughts about anything other than what we are doing, that adds up into stress and most of us then loose the control of our minds and get mad. We cannot solve problems while working. So to think what we are doing right now, I believe are the thoughts of highest quality and thinking about what we are doing gives quality. Example if I'm making a bread and I'm having thoughts about how to make the best bread, I will make the best one. If I will think about anything else, I will make the bread which I was making from years, means I will never improve. So thoughts about present gives quality as well as improvement. Now you may ask this question to yourself, why don't all of us think rightly? I belive most of the minds don't love to think about what we actually are doing. Because that creates a type of mental pressure, which only some do handle. Mind never loves to suffer, it always tries to escape from that pressure. To escape that pressure sometimes it starts to imagine of the better circumstances or have the thoughts about what happened recently. But those who handle this mental pressure never stop improving and they have better control on their lives. Because this pressure means actually our mind is learning new things or improving what we already know. So having right thoughts or presence of mind actually can make us the better thinkers or we can say right thinkers and help us to not get lost. Now the question arises isn't it important sometimes to get lost?

The Reflection
"Who am I?" These are three words that people often ask themselves from time to time, usually when they are wondering where they fit in. However, for me, it was a completely different story.

Jermaine Lamarr Cole released his fifth studio album, KOD, appositely, on April 20th, 2018. The title, having three distinct meanings, reveals the work's thrust, the problem that inspired his conversations. Kids on Drugs, King Overdosed, Kill Our Demons. We are dying, he says, before we have lived.

Bump? The young man apologizes, revealing his assumption that I’d accept any drug. He determined this, he says, by my relaxed sweats and Hawaiian button-up; lime-green GameBoy; Hokusai copy (not the great wave) hanging; Jose silver next to game leaves; and my confessed exploits with microdosing during this day’s regularly scheduled programming. I tell myself (hardly in earnest) that he is most likely correct and accept his offering. He says I am ‘the real,’ and I am left to decipher what this means from his earlier list of observations. I decide it must refer to people who are chronically depressed and filling pesky emotional voids with persistent substance abuse and tedious displays of appropriated interests. He rambles for some time before he tells me again that I’m as real as it gets, adding that this assessment includes people who don’t have social media profiles. I don’t tell him I don’t have social media profiles. He has lionized this misanthropic manic enough.

Arrested for ADHD
Yes, you read that title right. I was, in fact, arrested for having ADHD. I truly wish I was being hyperbolic and that it was a disorder “made up” to medicate people like many love to purport. As someone who mastered the art of masking to the point that I was missed with a proper diagnosis until about a month ago, deep in my 30s, I can assure you that it is a very real condition that can have a devastating effect on one’s life when it is not treated. Now that I have some answers and am beginning to process my diagnosis, I’m left to wade through the moments in my life that were blatantly overlooked as symptoms of a literal disability I’ve been unknowingly carrying around my entire life.

Apple juice. VeggieTales. Grape juice. Olive fingertips. Saturday mornings. Visiting the library and reading stacks. Climbing trees. Scooby-Doo and the gang.

When the staff at Timberwolf Lake greet you at the camp entrance, they choose you and one other person from your car. You, daughter of Eve, and a son of Adam, are helped into a harness that squeezes tightly around your waist and between your legs.

Tortured Euphoria
I woke up in the warm cozy euphoria still lingering from last night. I opened my eyes and gently caressed the bandaged wound on my arm, comforted in the knowledge that underneath lay the exploits of a night filled with tears, pain….

Now. Whether you are a student, a fresh graduate, unemployed, employed, retired, a parent, a child, or a grandparent…it doesn’t matter. Your mental health requires attention now.

Self-made miserable life — is it worth blaming ourselves for the missing happiness?
When is the last time when you laughed for real? Do you remember what made you genuinely happy? What defined the moment when you were elated and feeling as if on cloud nine?

Meditation – The Right Way and The Wrong Way
It is fascinating to observe how the world is going and how people think, but it is also sad because there is so much self-created human misery. As my understanding of how the ego operates in our mind becomes more apparent, my perception of reality becomes sharper. When comparing ancient civilizations with our present ones, I see no progress in understanding our minds. They created an escapist world then, and we are doing the same thing by following them now with a bigger and better one with our advanced technology. Thus, as we become more out of touch with reality, one does not have to be a prophet to predict mental illness increasing in societies worldwide.

"No suicide, let's dream"— Fear for studies and Suicides
From birth, human beings have to overcome various adversities to reach their desired goal. Happiness and sorrow seem to be an inviolable destiny in human life. Just as no one suffers in the continuum of life, so no one sees the face of happiness. It is difficult to find a person in the world who has no sorrow, no pain, no pain.
