Spring heals soul wounds!
Spring has finally come, get ready for it! Good... because I started becoming sick of winter and cold weather and I couldn`t wait for spring to come and help us get rid of all the depressions we had during autumn. Althought I`m not quite a fan of sun or sunbathing, it`s nice to go out and have a picnick or a barbecue with your friends and family in a sunny day. You know how it feels like, you just want to relax, enjoy the spring and listen to the birds singing and forget of all the stress at work.
Spring is one of the four seasons and reffers to springtime, the period before summer when we are feeling more alive than ever. Not only does spring bring heat and sunny days, but this is the time of the year when leaves are starting to grow and flowers to blossom, enchanting us with the sight and smell. This way everything comes back to life, slowly but surely. It`s lovely to just grab a book and a pillow and sit in the grass, letting the wind go through your hair.
It`s the successful way or the highway!
We can see that as I said in one of my previous posts, we deal with discrimination every single day especially at work, school or other public places where you get in touch with clients, customers or colleagues. I decided to write about career and what I think about careers and sexual orientation, because many tend to excuse themselves for not having a purpose in life, blaming the others that "prevented" them from having a normal life.
It`s the 21st century and yet, people are extremely different. Some of them want careers, while others are satisfied with their jobs as accountants for instance. There is more than one race, more than one religion and definitely more than one taste when it comes to orientation or couples. But what do we do when we are in the situation when we have to make a living? Why do most people, transgendered people for instance choose to leave school and maybe college just because they know they can make money using other methods and don`t even think about careers?
Phobias do have a cure
There`s nobody on Earth that can claim not to have even a single phobia, whether if we`re talking about acrophobia, agoraphobia or claustrophobia which are the most known phobias among both teenagers and adults or other ones that are quite rare, such as halitophobia which means being afraid of bad breath. For instance, I am afraid of small rooms or narrow tunnels and I used to be a hypochondriac for a while!
These phobias are caused by both conditioned and unconditioned stimuli, and there often happens for anxious stimuli to trigger certain phobias that can affect the social life of somebody as well as the mental health of that particular person. Most of us can`t explain why we fear things, all we know is that we cannot control it and we see it as real as possible. Besides my partial claustrophobia, I used to be a hypochondriac until some time ago when I decided that it was time to stop and think.
Most of the ones that click on this article would probably be searching for treatments that cure phobias regardless of their origin, but all I can tell you from my personal experience is that it takes lots of patience and ambition to fight against your fears. You probably have realised that when your phobia keeps on growing and you`re losing control of it, your friends and family begin to get sick of your issues because most of them have their own and don`t need other ones. This is why you have to find the power to get over your phobias.
No child deserves to be abandoned!
Sooner or later, there comes a period in everybody`s life when our maternal instincts get "activated", when we get tired of having pets and we just feel the need of having a baby. There often happens that due to the stressful environment or certain health issues, many women (and men) are not able to have children with the one she or he loves, and this usually leads to fights and break ups. Then you got another alternative, the adoption ... But things can get complicated.
I personally think that before trying the adoption part, we should all try to do our best in order to have children that are part of us, I think that it is vital to know that you are raising your baby and it`s your blood through its veins. Adoption is not a strange phenomenon anymore nowadays, lots of couples choose to adopt a child that can call them "mommy and daddy", but what would happen when the kid grows up and starts asking questions? He or she will be a teenager, and that`s the part when they can hate you for not telling them about the adoption. Then, it is really hard to cope with the pression... .
We`re all a little insane!
Usually when we talk about mental health we reffer to mental diseases such as dementia, double personality disorder, schizophrenia and others. What causes these diseases and what`s the adequated treatment?
Studies have shown that there`s a higher risk for dementia among people that have trouble with themselves, cannot communicate properly with the ones surrounding them or have different sexualities , such as homosexuality, transsexuality, lesbianism or other sexual behaviours that may cause repression of self. When we talk about mental health, we talk about the way we see the world, think and act in society.
I personally think that there`s a thin line between mental health and insanity, line that can be crossed in certain cases that have a powerful impact towards a person`s brain, such as the death of somebody close, a divorce or a break up that matters a lot for him or her. I have to admit that I do suffer from anxiety, that means I often get scared and cry out of the blue, with no reason of doing so. Still, I am mentally well, so far, hehe.
Gay Chat
The types of chat rooms are as various as the people who use the Internet. Sometimes these groups of people (called clubs or rooms, depending upon the server) are listed geographically by city or state, or by age groups from young guys to "silver foxes".
You’ll also find rooms based upon ethnicity. Or there may be a room with guys who are into a particular sexual variation that interests you, such as slaves or fetishes (see Bondage and Discipline; Fetish). You all may be fans of the old TV show The Brady Bunch, or into snowboarding, or followers of J. R. R. Tolkien’s fantasy The Lord of the Rings, or interested in leather and tit torture. The only thing that matters is that you all share something of interest.
Handbags for everybody!
Handbags are those accessories that must not miss from any woman`s closet, being one of the most important things when it comes to self esteem. They`re absolutely indispensable and they are usually used for caring our phones, tissues, hair brush, make up kit, keys, wallet and everything we need to have close to us in case of... emergency!
It is known that purses and handbags firstly appeared around three thousand years ago, but of course they were simple, low-quality and mostly made of animal skin. They`re fancy, come in hand and they are the cherry on the top because they go well with your outfits, if you know how to match them in the appropriate way.
Nowadays there is seldom seen that a woman doesn`t have a handbag. They come in every shape and size, colour, price and design, and can fit perfectly in any woman`s hand, even if they are very pretentious when it comes to this and for instance want to buy only those handbags which are entirely made of crocodile skin. Every large brand is producing handbags besides clothes, sunglasses and perfumes, and some of us would spend thousands of dollars just to get one of those.
This is why men hate shopping with women
Shopping, massage, make up ... I guess these are the words that can brighten up any woman`s day (and if not, it does brighten up my day!). I`ve always been fond of shopping, I would spend hours at shopping just searching and trying out new clothes and shoes, some say that i`m even a shopaholic... well, guess it`s better to be a shopaholic rather than a workaholic. Better to ruin your credit card than your health, huh? I`ll just show you my daily obsessions.
When you`re doing something that you enjoy, having a massage for instance, you release the stress and tension you`ve been gathering throughout the day. As a following, I will just keep on feeding my daily obsessions, starting with my morning coffee which is a total must and continuing with emptying my credit cards. If there`s anything worse that the current financial crisis, it`s running out of money while shopping and not being able to buy yourself those black, high-heeled shoes that you saw last day or that perfect make up kit you just worship! This would be the hardest torture to bear!
Ambition is universal!
As human beings, we have both qualities and flaws. It`s normal, and I think that ambition is the most important quality that one can have. Ambition is the one that makes you fly when you want to do so, no matter if you don`t have wings or you haven`t flown before.
What is ambition, actually? According to the dictionary, ambition would be a strong desire for succeeding in something. According to me, it`s one big step forward towards perfection, the perfection that we`re all craving for. I mean... Look at Bill Gates, he never dared to even dream that he`s gonna end up like this, rich and famous. It was ambition that helped him all along.
Welcome aboard!
I guess that we all got our patterns on different topics: boyfriends, the dream job or the perfect body. Well, although I got many patterns the one that I am really focused on is related to my dream trip. I mean, If I had the time I would book in a hotel in Ibiza right now, anxiously waiting to do all those crazy things there with the one I love. So far, I didn`t have the chance to book flights to and from Ibiza, although I love travelling.
My dream trip is just like many of you think it would be: fancy cocktails, thousands of dollars spent in malls in Dubai, checking in at Burj-Al-Arab for a whole month and have no stress about anything. Well, although I would love to do that, my perfect trip would be the one when I`m surrounded by people I love, best friends and people that I`m feeling confortable with. In the end, it`s about who is enjoying the summer with you, not only about a specific location or trip costs. True, trip costs are an aspect that should be taken into consideration when you decide to book a flight, check in or when it comes to travelling to exotic places.
