People passing by.



Walking on the road, we barely notice the people around us. Even if we do we're usually worried about what they might think of us .Everyday, we meet many people, some we're acquainted with, while some others who are dear to us.
As life goes on we realize that people come and go, like people passing on a street. Some people fall apart while others suffer a painful void due to the detachment. People that we love are truly the only people who can hurt us,whether intentionally or not.
Despite going through this cycle over and over again, we, as humans never stop meeting new people, making new connections. We must remember that along with meeting new people, we change as well. We have new beliefs, new intentions, ideas ; simply because, you've grown from your past. 
Life has a way to keep getting back to you with the same problems until you learn your lesson.So, let's be grateful for what we have and excited for what is yet to come. 
Passing people almost always teach us something about ourselves. 
Only you remain with yourself until the end.
The next time someone leaves, let yourself grieve, cherish the memories you had together, love yourself a little more and learn how you can do better next time.



Until Tuesday,

Gen z ? IGen ?

Social generations are cohorts of people born in the same date range and share similar cultural experiences. Gen Z is the newest generation to be named and were born between 1995 and 2015.  Members of Gen Z are true digital natives: from earliest youth, they have been exposed to the internet, social networks and mobiles. This generation is most likely to have never known a mobile that isn’t a smartphone. All these factors have given rise to a hypercognitive generation that is very comfortable with collecting and cross-referencing many sources of information within minutes. They are able to integrate virtual and offline experiences. Which of the following Gen Z characteristics do you identify with? Identity Nomads Gen Zers experiment with different ways of being themselves and to shape their individual identities over time. Gender fluidity may be the most telling reflection of “undefined ID”. Gen Z seeks uniqueness in all walks of life primarily through the br...

Metanoia

Just another day of summer vacation,plain,no plans with friends and simply boring.I was lying on my bed, mindlessly scrolling through my phone, switching between instagram and youtube, when I came across an app that I had stopped using, pinterest.Although Pinterest is great,but, for me, it represented a failed attempt to start a blog.Boredom got the better of me, and I decided to take a look at Pinterest. On my feed, I came across the word - metanoia. Metanoia in Greek is literally ‘change of mind’ often translated as “repentance". But this kind of repentance is not about regret or guilt or shame; it implies making a decision to turn around, to face a new direction. Something, I really badly needed at that time. Life was no fun, I had no idea what I was doing.And maybe, because of this,I had trouble sleeping, I was constantly anxious about my future.I wanted a goal to pursue but didn’t attempt to find goals.Something had to change, life shouldn’t feel like this. A lot has ...

To be in love.

I'm a psychology student and one of the perks of being in a psychology class is being surrounded by inquisitive friends who aren't afraid to talk about abstract human emotions like anger,  arousal and love. A few days into the quarantine,  a friend and I were texting (social distancing check ) . She asked - What is love?  This question lead to an intense two hour long dialogue in which our opinions on romantic love were exchanged. The following passage is inspired by our conversation that day. According to the all knowing reservoir  of Google,  love is  'an intense feeling of deep affection'. Just reading those words out loud  makes me want to cringe hard. Somehow, I can understand familial love and affection towards friends. We've all been exposed to it in some form during our early years. But, romantic love? Is that an actual thing ? Or a treacherous   scheme  by the society to trap innocent people for  procreation purposes....
