Humanity
Your tethered soul
Not to be influenced by the outside world, it seems that I can't do it just because I want to. It's hard to control, just like you can't pray for rain to fall in time on dry land; or you spend two dollars on a lotto ticket and think you can win a thousand or eight million. It's hard, it's harder than the sky. I am still the one who has a lofty ideal but is slow to realize it.

When you are thinking about a problem or learning, how not to be disturbed by the external environment, not to be affected by other people's words and not to be controlled by emotions.
In this question, the environment is the external factor, the emotion is the internal state, and the words of others are somewhere in between. The questions you're thinking about and the importance of what you're learning may also change the impact of these factors. Among these factors, the external environment seems to be relatively controllable, as long as your willingness to study is strong enough, it is OK to run to the library or study room in a rainstorm. Whether or not to do so can be weighed against the realities of the situation. Emotions may arise because of the words of others or from some thoughts of oneself. If the study task is more urgent, in fact, you can also consider changing places. But if the task wasn't so onerous or the emotions and words didn't matter so much. There are two solutions: 1. Put your homework on hold. If that person's words affect you, or some of your own emotions or thoughts affect you, there must be a reason. Think of it as one of your additional questions for today and try to challenge it. It is suggested to analyze it from three perspectives: a. On the realistic level, what kind of impact this emotion and this person has had on me, what kind of results it has caused, and how I describe my current state. B. Why does the other person's words affect me? / Why do these thoughts bother me? How can I go back to the source and find the cause of these problems. Have I ever been in a situation like this before, and how have I handled it? C. Knowing the influence of this person, this emotion on me, and the possible reasons for it, I have to decide what I want to do now based on the current situation. I love learning so much and I'm good at thinking. I'm sure I can find a solution. 2, see here actually can, because I haven't written, I think this paragraph is a bit like chicken soup for the soul or the truth. The point here is to increase your emotional tolerance. The colloquial term is to suck it up. Again, you can decide, based on reality, to do the above homework first and then suck it up. Or just suck it up and get on with your studies. This will definitely affect your learning efficiency, but it will also happen in the future. So, a lot of times, reality forces us to wear armor. Just know that it's for problems, not for who you are.

Rich People are not Better Than You
People have always accused me of sourrounding myself with people than are "beneath" me. I don't see anyone beneath me is what they don't understand. First, there is no caste system in America. Rich people are not better than you. Please understand that if you think differently, that is the result of capitalism. Your productivity does not determine your worth. The biggest scam played on the American public is that working harder will get you somewhere in life. It almost never does. Rich people have connections to make their dreams work. That's truly the only difference between you and them.

Unveiling of the Soul
once again, my heart is ripped from my chest. I’m made to look stupid and reliant on this person who completely disregards my feelings, emotions, thoughts. why am I crying about it? Because I can’t believe that a human being can be this heartless. this cold. this insensitive. I feel so deceived, but why am I shocked. i feel so lied to, but isn’t that always the case. I hoped for changed. I was excited for change. I dreamt of a change. For some reason I actually believed in the small, close to impossible chance of a change. A change that would shift everything. Instead, I got what I asked for. I’ve been looking for reason after reason to walk away. I’ve tried and have been unsuccessful. I have recited speeches, and endless lines on what I would say. I have created emotionally vulnerable voice memos in hopes of being able to put all the emotions, energy and vulnerability into the phone, only to never have to deal with it again. Hoping that in some way the phone could swallow up and absorb all of my emotions that are so deeply tied into this situation. That somehow the phone could suck away the hurt, betrayal and lies from within me so I could be free of it all once and for all. Somehow I could put all of this into an item that could be separated from my heart so I could heal and move on. Why does it hurt so bad, you may ask? Because to love and not be loved in return is by far the worse pain of all. To love so deeply and feel nothing but the continuous brutal stabbing of your beating heart, the same one you continue to put into this dead situation - that’s utter pain. it’s unfair. it’s exhausting. it’s…. what words can I even use. I feel like a shell of a shell. My heart pounds, what do I say upon arrival? do I say anything? do I express the pain that eats me up inside? do I act like the shell i have become when it pertains to this situation?

What Should I Write?
Introduction I haven’t written anything about writing and creation recently, and I have been told that I am lazy and my writing is rubbish and I post too much so nobody reads my posts. These have all been put forward as constructive criticism that I should take notice of.

Please Stop Complaining About Student Loan Forgiveness
Picture: Unsplash, Honey Yanibel Minaya Cruz Think Twice Before You Complain In almost every corner, I’m finding complaints about student loan forgiveness. People on my Facebook feed seem to think their ideas on student loans are worth an audience (they’re not). Even though President Joe Biden has announced that college students will receive $10,000 in loan forgiveness and Pell Grant recipients will receive another $10,000, no one has been granted this yet. Those who would be relieved to have this cancellation are hoping this promise won’t be a fairy tale.

Stress Is Fuel For Growth, Greater Happiness, And Accelerated Success
The youngest heavyweight in the world boxing champion Mike Tyson once said, “Everybody Has a Plan Until You Get Punched in The Face”. The way I interpret this statement is that we have all gone through periods of success, and high confidence forgetting where we came from. And we all experienced levels of failures, setbacks, or injustices. What I am going to argue in this short piece, is that some of life’s setbacks can be turned to our advantage, converting the stress into mental fitness and abundance. I will also argue that most of the pain we experience is self-inflicted as we focus on the negatives and generate a lot of unnecessary noise and unrealistic deadlines.
