Family can be our support system. Or they can be part of the problem. All about the complicated, loving, and difficult relationship with us and the ones who love us.
Saying No When You Have To Prioritize Your Own Needs.
My work and studies have become busier today as I try to reach my career goals, and so has my home life. Life at home can be an endless chore of washing, cleaning, and meeting other people's needs, leaving very little time for my own work.

My Self-Care is Taking Care of My Family
“Self-care.” That’s a hot topic here in 2022. I just heard someone say it on a commercial during the Pelicans/Bulls games I’m watching. It’s funny how I get ideas for a new blog simply by hearing a phrase or seeing a commercial.

Pick Up A New Hobby To Help Improve Your Mental Health
A fantastic technique to help with enhancing your general mental health and well-being is by taking up a new pastime. There are many benefits to having a hobby, but for many people, the health advantages rank first. Hobbies come in a variety of sizes and shapes. They could be artistic, academic, physical, or simply unwinding. Despite the fact that it's not always easy to find spare time during the day, maintaining good mental health can be made easier by the many various activities and hobbies we can incorporate into our everyday life. However, during these rare moments when you are free from your regular responsibilities, you may have the chance to engage in things that you actually like. A hobby is more than just something you do for yourself; it's something you put time and effort into because it makes you happy and sparks your interests.

J'SKAR
I He stared into the toddler’s eyes. It had stopped crying. It looked back at him, eyes wide with shock and wonderment. He scanned its body. It was a tiny, plump male wrapped with light leather blankets. Around its face tissue, a tint of red was concentrated in its nose and ears. It was feeling cold. J’skar felt his tail relax and slowly curl up. He couldn’t help but feel the little human was a part of nature, a part of the green grass, the wind and the trees. It was motherless, too. And he wouldn’t be surprised if it died from frostbite soon. J'skar approximated four hours.

Just Another Visit
It was late September when I was surprised by one of his spontaneous visits; I had been practicing hurdles and 200-meter sprints with my track coach after school with my teammates. Some of my friends were smiling and their eyes twinkled as they looked past my shoulders, curious I spun around.

Before She Goes
The wind felt like sand grazing her skin as she fell. Down. It didn’t whistle, it roared a deep bass. A terrifying sound. There was a twisted type of beauty to it all, being weightless for a fleeting minute, flying. Yet flying downward ends in collision.

Talking about psychological counseling
1. Whether psychological counseling is effective No one can guarantee it, just like when you go to the hospital and ask the doctor, "Can you cure me of this disease? No doctor dares to give you a definite answer. The same goes for counselors, who dare not give you a guarantee that it will work and what effect it will have.

At Some Point, You Have To Own Your Shit
One common thing in life we share as human beings is the ability to be hurt. I don’t mean falling down and scraping our knees. I’m talking about being really, really hurt. Stuff that affects us negatively as adults.

Children's Mental Disorder
Unhealthy relationship in a family as cause of children’s mental disorder, yes or no? Our definitions of family vary from person to person, though if you ask, most will say family is about trust, acknowledgement, learning, solidarity, and love, at the very least. Yet, it would also not be surprising that some of those same individuals could describe periods of childhood in which the family relationships were not healthy. This might be parent to parent relationship, parent to child, or anyone that is close enough in daily life to have familial status. Yes, they could say there were less than ideal relationship dynamics, though adults often do not see their family life as having been ’out of the norm’, usually because they survived it, even when problems of neglect or abuse existed.
