Can Time Really Heal Wounds?

Who has not yet heard this saying? When someone is in pain, they always say that in time, things will just fall into place. The bad emotions will just go away. However, will this always be the case? Will people find a way to just leave the scar and heal the pain? Well, this is not always the scenario. There are some things too painful that even if one has to go back in just a very tiny moment, the same pain will be felt. Yes, time can make things subtle, but it will never erase what has been done. There are even those who bear grudges and can never heal wounds up to their grave. Everyone has his or her own ways of dealing with things. It is therefore essential for people to respect how one deal with the pains one is suffering. After all, we all have our own crosses to carry.

Some Inspirational Sources

Having an inspiration is a great motivation for us to pursue with our goals in life. Different inspirations are always available at any given time. We just have to choose the one which makes us commit living our lives.

  • Nature can be a great source of renewal and inspiration. Going out for a walk in the park, sitting under the tree, or going to the beach can calm and give you inspiration.
  • Listening to music will help you whatever your mood is. You can choose from uplifting, emotive, or powerful songs depending on your own choice.
  • Reading books can be a source of inspiration, too. Scan your bookshelf and look for a book that interests you.
  • Another well of inspiration is just inside yourself. Try listening to your own and shut out the world’s input. Meditation, self reflection, and retreat are some methods.

Changing What You Are-

The youth of today are really affected by media in ways we could never imagine. Give yourself a gold chain and you will know.

The most evident of them all is fashion. There are those who would simply change their hairstyle even though it does not fit them well just because it is on trend. There are also those who would spend a lot of money or even take the pain just to go through surgery and alter the wrong parts of their bodies. Changing what you are is not that bad at all. However, the motivation of why you are doing such a change is the determining factor. Would you change just because you wanted it and you believe that it will make you a better person, or would you change just because you are pressured by what you see through media? Therefore, before you make any alteration, you have to make sure first that you are with the right reason.

Focusing On Your Goal

Focus- such an easy enough word to be said but, alas! Most things are easier said than done, right? Focusing, or the act of channelling your attention towards an object or objective, is not an inherent skill. And the sad part of it is that, most people find it very hard to achieve. A lot of us get easily distracted in the achievement of our goals and most of us are swayed from achieving it entirely.

To start focusing on a goal, it is best that you delineate clearly what your goal is, in the first place. And then work on that goal’s action plan– how to achieve your goal. You can also list your desired outcomes or results—this will keep you motivated.

But most of us forget and our brains get flooded by the external stimulators in our environment. If you are easily distracted or swayed, learn how to nag yourself—always write that things that you need to do and the things you want to achieve or become.

Why I Love Ten Pin Bowling-

I have never been a sporty person but i do own north face jackets. Its not like I don’t like sweating. It is just that… I’m not really into moving too much. And, I know my reflexes are bad. Haha! So all throughout my PE life in college, I tried to have PE classes that entails me to move a little.  I have taken Mahjong classes which I sat through for an hour each meeting. My fingers did all the moving, if you know what I mean. Then I took cheerleading– not the cheerleading class you thought. My cheerleading class just demands that I watch all the basketball games of our college team and scream my lungs out each game.

Then came ten pin bowling. I enrolled ten pin bowling because I knew it doesn’t involve moving much and it does not require me to run. Ever since my first game, I have come to love it. Sure, I may not be very good at it but I like the game. It seems to tranquil and I love the idea that I didn’t have to really be in a team and interact that much. It is a very solemn game and a very elegant at that I think. And the feeling of having a strike is really intoxicating I crave it once in a while.

Relationships and Decisions

We build our lives based on the connections we make. This is most applicable to all of us and is made obvious by the different social contracts we do bind ourselves into such as relationships and most definitely marriage.

Most difficult decisions we make in our lifetime are weighed and measured in consideration of the relationships we have. We analyse things according to their impact to the various relationships we treasure. It is no wonder that people who are emotionally attached to some things seldom have decisions which have negative impact on a person’s attachment.

Take for example the decision on which college to go to, which course to take, and of course, who to marry. These are life-changing decisions and yet we often catch ourselves looking into the future and not seeing ourselves alone.

We try to do the best we can to keep our relationships and we even result to compromises. It is true what they say then, “no man is an island.”

Community, A TV Series

I have always been a very devoted fan of sitcoms. I have watched both famous and unfamous television series, and to name a few,  Coupling, Will and Grace, and of course, the Big Bang Theory are some of my favorites.

Community is a television series which evolves around seven Community College students: Jeff, Brita, Shirley, Annie, Troy, Pierce and my favorite character– Abed. The characters in the series are very different and unique and some of them are actually kind of crazy and psychotic. But that makes the series very interesting— the constant craziness, the collision of characters and also the unity.

As much as it is funny and witty, Community offers a lot more depth to it since it offers lessons in life such as trust, self-discovery, death, honesty, and love. It is such a shame though that the television series is not given due credit by the public. In fact, the series is threatened by cancellation. It would be such a shame to cut the series short.
