Fears are like a storm. They only pass with some time and strength



Fears are like a storm. They only pass with some time and strength

     I find that fear often comes from an experience in your life. You aren't born with the fear of something, for example snakes, but once you experience seeing or hearing a snake, you may become afraid. An example from my life, would be my fear of spiders. When I was first born, I wasn't fearful of spiders. In fact, I didn't have much opinion on them, even once I was old enough to see them and acknowledge them living. It wasn't until I had first seen one on the outside of a window pane, its slender body crawling across the clear glass, that I got this uncomfortable feeling. I thought they were unappealing to look at. A little interesting, but mainly just disgusting. Now, I have fully developed a fear of them, and get a unsettling feeling when I see one. So what is your fear? 

     I also believe that some fears are important to try and conquer. Instead of holding this fear inside you, try and find out why you are so afraid, and work to change your fearful emotion, to a more calmed emotion that can end up helping you end this fear. Honestly, I don't have confidence that I'll get over my fear of spiders, but I have gotten over my fear of sharks, which now, to me, sounds like a silly thing to fear over. I achieved my goal of conquering my fear, by taking time to figure out what I disliked about sharks. The 2 main things I thought of were how they can be violent, and how they have razor-like teeth. But it isn't likely they'll hurt me, so why fear? Today, think about this!!!

Relationships with a mirror

Relationships with a mirror:      Most likely, when you read this title, you thought of self image. I tend to pinpoint this topic often in my blogs, because it is important to me, but is often misinterpreted. Many people seem to define self image as how you look in the mirror. Although that is part of this, there is much more to this topic. To me, self image is a combination of self love, self appearances and how we react to them, and self confidence. For example, when I look in the mirror, I may not always be pleased with what I see, because the other people look "perfect", yet I do not. But take a moment to imagine what they might say when they look in the mirror. Every person has insecurities and flaws, no matter how flawless they appear to be. This begins the conversation of the "Relationships with a mirror".       As I stated in the above paragraph, every person has flaws. But these flaws are awesome, they make us who we are. It is easy to stand in t

Memorial Day!

Memorial Day!      Tomorrow is known as "Memorial Day", a day to honor the men and women who have served in the military. These men and women have made many sacrifices, including some who lost their lives. As a way to show gratitude for these hardworking men and women, we often send letters, visit memorials, host family gatherings, or participate in annual parades.       Unfortunately, many of these celebrations are no longer able to happen this year, as a result of the pandemic we are now faced with. Yet it is still important to honor all the hard work and dedication these men and women put forth. So you may be wondering how to show your appreciation despite these setbacks. To start, there are many artistic activities you can do to express your appreciation. For example, you can make posters or signs. Decorating these posters with the colors of the United States Flag shows respect for these men and women and all they have done for our country. Another option is to

"That's a Bop"

"That's a Bop"      You may have heard the phrase, "That's a Bop", which basically means that a piece of music is what society views as great. For example, when the song Shake it Off came out in 2014, many young listeners referred to the song as being a "Bop". Another example is the song 10,000 Hours, released in 2019.       The reason why this phrase should be spoken about now, is because many people globally are dealing with hard times currently, and listening to music is a good outlet for their stress and pain during these times. If you're dealing with something difficult, and have not yet tried this method of release, set some time each day to listen to music that you enjoy. Music can change the way people view situations, and take their mind off the parts they don't like to think about. Of course, it won't completely ease the pain or stress, but it is a great way to change your mood and not have the situation take over e
