Crying like a child - Blue days

Image
Have you ever seen a child cry??  The child cries so unapologetically if she wants to cry she goes ahead and does it but then why is that, when this child grows up she is incapable of crying out there in front of everyone when it hurts. Is it wrong to cry out loud when it hurts? No, it is not wrong and addon to that science says, that c rying is essentially a release valve that rids your body of excess stress and tension, so when a sobfest is on the horizon don't hold it in. And as a matter of fact, while the eyes of all mammals are moistened and soothed by tears, only human beings shed tears in response to emotional stress. Crying helps us acknowledge the feelings we’re experiencing, and emotions motivate us to empathize, coordinate and work together to survive. In fact, crying serves an important social function. It communicates the strength and nature of relationships, elicits sympathy and even assistance, and draws people closer to one another. So, rather than stopping someone ...

Being - ''REALISTIC"

Image
  So, here I was reading a book 📖 that I will definitely review after completing, and the questions in this book that has shaken me up. So, there was this question: How is being “realistic” or “responsible” keep you from the life you want? Reading this shook me for a bit and made me realize that actually being realistic has really only made me ignore my creative side. As a kid, we are all this force to be reckoned with because we always question the system and the belief, we ask 'why' after every sentence, we become determined about creating this world in which we believe. We have this inner potential and energy to change the world for a better place, to search for the unknown, and to be unapologetic. We make many mistakes along the way but we easily accept them, learn from them and move on for the next new adventure. But as we grow up we want to be this real person who has a decent job, a house and is settled for a whole life. I know it may sound great to some and even this i...

Barbara McClintock - The noble at 81

Image
Barbara McClintock was born  Eleanor McClintock  on June 16, 1902.  When she was a young girl, her parents determined that Eleanor , a "feminine" and "delicate" name, was not appropriate for her, and chose  Barbara  instead.  McClintock was an independent child beginning at a very young age, a trait she later identified as her "capacity to be alone".   Barbara McClintock didn’t come from a wealthy background, which makes it all the more remarkable that she went to university and devoted her life to research. She obtained her PhD. from Cornell University.  During graduate school, she began the work that would occupy her entire professional life: the chromosomal analysis of corn  (maize). Nothing says trouble like a woman in pants . That was the attitude about women in the 1930s anyway; when she started working at the University of Missouri. She was called the troublemaker because she worked late with students, who were breaking the curfew...

FINDING HAPPINESS IN LITTLE THINGS

Image
 It's so unique how we as human beings can portray our emotions in different forms and little things can make us feel so grateful and peaceful.     1. DRAWING AND COLOURING       So, this was when I was feeling very anxious about completing all my tasks and checking the monthly goals only to find that out of five major goals to achieve I have only completed one and it was devastating. It was taking over my performances and the anxiety was giving me a headache so to deal with all of this bottled-up emotion I decided to take a time off and sit and draw (which I can't even remember when I did the last time) and ended up making this Madhubani painting. Yeah!! It was just a simple drawing but the emotion I felt when I completed was something I can't express in mere words. First, after all the workload putting a tick mark on one of the to-do list items felt so good. Second, it gaves my mind peace ✌ for that one hour and forty minutes I forgot about all ...
