It has been raining heavily these days. Rainy days are the best time to reminisce about the past. I especially enjoy reminiscing about my childhood. My childhood was spent in a village. Those childhood days were wonderful. Now I'm tired of staying in the city all the time. I have only been to my hometown in the past 14 years. I miss those old days so much.
In our village, the first rain of the year usually occurs in spring. Thereafter, it rains frequently from late March until early May, darkening the sky. In mid-March, all ponds, ponds, ditches, and ponds in the village will overflow with water. In the new season, the rains are heavier, causing the water level to rise rapidly. The fish in the pond begin to swim happily, and the water is full of life. The rainy season not only brings the moisture of water, but also brings the joy of children. Fishing tournaments in particular have become a favorite activity.
Fishing is the most fun during the rainy season. Today we’ll share a little about the day. It started raining heavily one morning in early April. We have three ponds. The water splashed completely. By evening, as rain continued throughout the day, the water in the three ponds began to overflow their banks. The three ponds in our village are all in an open field about 300 meters away from the village. There are many plants there. In addition to palm trees, coconut trees and dates, the countryside is filled with other plants. In the center are three large ponds. side by side.
By evening all three ponds were flooded. After a while, my father said to us two brothers that a fish would come out of the pond and walk. Our two brothers looked at each other in disbelief, and my father said: "Let's go, you come with me and see what beautiful fish are walking on stilts in the pond." The two of us brothers followed our father, holding umbrellas on our heads and walking on stilts with bare feet. Walk along the dirt road to the pond.
My father also brought a big umbrella and a flashlight. Also going with us was a black puppy from our family, his nickname was Koehler. When we came to this field, we stood by the pond and started shining the light of our flashlights everywhere. By the light of the flashlight, I saw something floating in the pond, seeming to emerge from the muddy water of the pond, walking through the grass beside the pond, and walking from one side to the other.
The flashlight's light fell into the grass. What did I see that day? It's a different experience. I saw a lot of big fish walking in the grass. This sight made people marvel at the magic of nature. We followed our father's footsteps and explored this magical water area, full of curiosity and excitement.
Recalling childhood times always makes people feel emotional. That time, full of fun and wonder, has now become a cherished memory. Whether it's a rainy night or the fish walking in the pond, they are an indelible part of our childhood. These beautiful memories will remain in our hearts forever and become the most precious treasure in our lives.

The secret journey to regaining emotional stability
Do you feel that the anxious and avoidant types both seem to be strong and independent, but in fact they are sensitive and fragile. They often fall into emotions because of small things and start to be anxious and avoidant? If anxious and avoidant types want to change these, what they actually need is to compensate for their missing parts and heal their injured parts. In this issue, we will teach the avoidant and anxious types how to cultivate themselves again, making their emotions more stable, more rational in relationships, and at the same time gaining the ability to actively output emotional value. If anxious and avoidant types want to overcome the sensitive and fragile parts of themselves and obtain stable emotions, they need not only cognitive adjustments, but also need to heal the traumatized parts of themselves and compensate for the regretful parts of themselves. For example, the regret of the avoidant type is that they have not been paid serious attention to and have never truly rebelled. Therefore, the avoidant type will not fight for their own needs in many situations, resulting in uncomfortable situations and relationships, and they are always running away and wandering. The trauma of the anxious type is that they are trapped in unstable relationships and have been hurt by the instability in intimate relationships. The slightest fluctuation will make the anxious type feel nervous and anxious. Therefore, anxious and avoidant types are inherently fragile, sensitive, and unstable. In summary, these reasons are that something is missing during the growth stage, or they have suffered some trauma, so if you want to solve these problems, this is the time. Compensate when you need to compensate, heal when you need to heal, exercise when you need to exercise, just treat yourself as a child and raise yourself again. If the avoidant and anxious types re-train themselves, what kind of growth can they gain? First of all, emotions will become more and more stable. For example, you can be aware of your emotions at the first time, avoid emotions from affecting your thoughts and judgments, and learn to regulate your emotions. Secondly, you can truly understand yourself and know your real needs and fears. In the process of re-nurturing yourself, you can clearly understand your needs and fears, that is, you can know why you are attracted to a certain person, why you behave like this, and then you can better understand what you need.

No Plus One
It's nearly one AM and I just got back from my third wedding of the four in this last month alone, and I have always been alone. I hide behind my camera to pretend to be useful, hide behind a safety net of skill set. So I do not have to confront the loneliness that is sleeping alone when everyone else seems to have a partner to crawl into bed with. I love the time spent with those who decided I was worth the 30-plus dollars per plate they decided to spend on me, and I do not need to have a partner on these occasions, but it would be nice to have someone notice, me. See when I am in the corner because they know I need time to recharge and to kiss me on the head until the time has come to leave. Maybe that's the problem about being a professional storyteller, I dream of something that isn't meant for me.

The Life-Changing Benefits Meditation Does for Mental Health
In today's fast-paced world, stress and anxiety have become ubiquitous, taking a toll on our mental well-being. Amidst this chaos, meditation has emerged as a powerful antidote, offering a myriad of benefits for mental health. Meditation, a practice often associated with serene mountain retreats or tranquil yoga studios, finds its practical applications in the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Take, for instance, Sarah, a busy marketing executive from Seattle, Washington juggling deadlines and demands at work. Amidst the chaos of her professional life, Sarah turns to meditation instead of prescription drugs as a means to find moments of calm as opposed to then battling side effects that could cause her a lackluster attitude throughout the day. Through just a few minutes of focused breathing and mindfulness practice each day, she discovers that she can manage her stress more effectively, approaching challenges with a clearer mind and a steadier heart.
