"Weathering Life's Storms"


You go talk to kindergartners or first-grade kids, you find a class full of science enthusiasts. They ask deep questions. They ask, "What is a dream, why do we have toes, why is the moon round, what is the birthday of the world, why is grass green?"

These are profound, important questions. They just bubble right out of them.

You go talk to 12th graders and there's none of that. They've become incurious. Something terrible has happened between kindergarten and 12th grade.

~Carl Sagan


Book: Conversations with Carl Sagan

As a child, I used to snuggle up with my mother during thunderstorms, imagining a magical blanket that could protect all the plants, trees, and lands from harm. But as I grew older, I realized that this dream wasn’t possible. I came to understand that plants and trees need to weather the storms to grow strong and resilient.


**Life’s Storms: A Catalyst for Growth**


Just like plants and trees, we too need to face life’s challenges head-on. The unexpected storms, pain, and struggles are what make us stronger and more resilient. It’s tempting to seek shelter from life’s difficulties, but these challenges are what help us grow and become better versions of ourselves.


**Adapting to Change**


Life is full of change—relationships shift, circumstances evolve, and not every day meets our expectations. Learning to accept and adapt to these changes is crucial. By focusing on the present moment, we can navigate life’s ups and downs with grace and positivity.


**Finding Positivity in Adversity**


Even when surrounded by negativity, we have the power to choose positivity. By appreciating the small blessings in our lives, our regrets begin to fade. It’s important to take care of our mental health and not feel pressured by societal norms to be sad or mournful in tough times.


**The Power of Connection**


In difficult times, it's essential to connect with those who stand by us. Sharing our thoughts and feelings openly with others reminds us that we’re not alone. There are people who care and want to support us through life’s challenges.


**Looking Ahead**


Bad days don’t last forever. Better days are ahead, and it’s important to keep that in mind. Instead of getting lost in tough times, we should look forward to the good ones and keep moving forward.


**Conclusion**


Life’s storms are inevitable, but how we respond to them is what truly matters. By embracing challenges and finding ways to grow and adapt, we can become stronger, more resilient, and more compassionate. The next time a storm rolls in, face it head-on, and remember—you’ll emerge stronger on the other side.

"Life After a Breakup: How Long Does It Take to Move On?"

 . "In truth, the lifespan of love usually ranges from one to one and a half years. Beyond that, it's often just a matter of pride." Observing human behavior, people often claim to be in love for 5-10 years, but upon breakup, they spend a significant amount of time reminiscing about the past. This is due to the ego within us that constantly questions, "Why was I rejected? What did I lack? What did I not do?" This ego tries to convince us to hold onto memories and continue loving that person. In reality, psychology suggests that the duration of love is 18 months, after which it becomes an ego trip that provides comfort to our inner self. It's possible that after loving one person, we start loving many others, our work, nature, or even ourselves. Love can also make us humble or self-centered. When a breakup occurs, people often adopt two approaches. Either they move forward in life while still holding onto memories, or they take years to start a new relationsh...
