Love at its Simplicity
Understanding Love without Mechanisms
Everyone is worthy of love. This is fundmental truth that cannot be taken away from anyone who is: If you are willing to fight for it. If you are willing to reach down for it. You are worthy of love. Love is not a cliche just like peace is not a cliche. You cannot have peace in your life unless you learned to love. Love starts basic and love conquers great levels of thoughts and ways because it is informidable. Love cannot be stopped by anything and this does not mean it is violent or forciful. Love is spiritual and physical. Love knows when to back down and rely on faith and hope. Love isn't about force, love is about will and the will to hope and encourage with faith. Love has to be the centerpiece otherwise everything will lose lusters. Love is the source of life and its strength. And if you can find somebody or somebody find you and love you, you must know you are worthy. Self-worth is key to accepting love. You cannot accept love without knowing you are worthy. Everyone deserves to be loved if they want it, if they deserve it and if they are willing to lay down their struggles for it. You don't have to have the perfect background, you don't have to be the strongest, you don't have to be the smartest. You have to work with the life you have been given. You have to work with the things you have been given. You have to say to yourself that I am somebody, I am worthy for love, I am a gift. I am a treasure. Because these things are true. Love would not let you chase it forever. Love will come to you when you least expect it. Love will open your eyes to new things you never knew about yourself and your life. Love is a quest. Love is like being a knight. You have to muster up the strength to fight and live. Sometimes you might not know what you are doing. Sometimes you might falter but be not afraid. Don't dwell upon your shortcomings. Don't dwell upon your fears. Love sees passed all that and recognized you as you. See you for you as you see them for them. It is a mutual platform. As you talk together, you begin to see your likes. You begin to see that they can relate to you. You begin to see that you are respected and cherished. Your hearts become interwined almost like a rose patch. Your pain becomes their pain. Your hurt becomes their hurt. Your sorrow becomes their sorrow. Your joy becomes their joy. The unification of the souls is aburt and vital to the essence of life. And as you share your past, its darkness and gloom, their voice becomes a sense of reasoning and rationaling for you. They pull you out of your dark tunnel and you are set free from that state of misery. Yes, love is grand and love is great. Love is more than a philosophy, it is life and its eternal. The human mind never forgets when it has been touched by love. The human spirit remembers love like yesterday. And a glance at a former love no matter the ills can revitalized in the memory quickly. Love is the ink on our souls that united us, it is the medicine to the hurt life gives us. Love is the filter of good in our lives that breaks down our defensive mechanisms. Love fosters growth and development. Love determines who will thrive and who will fall. Because love has the power to overcome any day. We must simply love!

Inspirational Mediation
There's healing power in inspirational words.Inspirational words can brighten the day of someone whose lost all hope. Inspirational words can build up someone to do the right thing. You can never know the full impact of inspirational words. Something happens when our minds focus on words. It begins to fight and it begins to breathe life into us. We are no longer focus on inability. We are no longer focus on what scares us. We are no longer concentrated on our illnesses. Sometimes we may even smile and get happy because we realize life is more than what you suffer. Words have power and words have life. To mediate is to actual insenuate power to those words, when we start using those words to breathe and exhale, we become unstoppable. Inspirational words begin to make us stronger than we ever been before. We are no longer acting in denial. We are no longer acting weak. We are no longer worn. We become stronger men and stronger women. We are clear about our destiny. We are determined to overcome. We are determined to fight on. Our minds become stronger and aware of what it must do to survive. Thus helping us to live on and choose how our fate may be. These words give us strength and they give us power. We can actually feel them move in our hearts and move in our veins. Like saying, I can make it. Or I am strong. Or I am powerful. Or I believe. Or I can do this. Or I can beat this. Or I can see now. And when we combine them with our treatment, we can surge with the power of healing. Believing in something makes life worth while. Believing in others make you capable of accomplishing anything. Believing in yourself can help you know more about your weaknesses and your strengths. I believe life is all about believing. Medicine does heal and medicine works more effectively when the mind allows it to work. Sometimes our mind wants to know everything, which is nearly impossible. Our minds are in disarray when we are ill, we are unable to think clearly. We are unable to process the ideologies of medicine and recovery. We have to believe in our experts and believe in our supports. Somethings are too hard to explain and the time wasted on learning could have been spent better on healing. In our healing, we can learn about the process. I would rather heal than learn the linguistic because your body needs to heal first before understanding the process. And your mind can be overreacting to the medicine due to its imbalance over the illness. There are those times that we think that treatment failed because of us. Treatment is a test, nothing more and nothing less. We must find the courage to go on. The human spirit is greater than tests and strides. There are people who made it because of their experts alone. There are even more people who made it because of their beliefs. We must recognize that we set the standard for the next generations, our children, the future of this world. Your life may be the testament that saved other generations from going through what you've been through. We have a task at hand, life or death. We must choose to give life by fighting to the bitter end. We must stride on until we can no longer breathe. And use our mind, our words as inspiration for this test. That we may stand as a testament to faith in humanity and love for eachother.

$#*£ Resilience
I was going to relax this evening. Tune out, hunker down, look after myself. I need it. I am exhausted. Thoroughly used up. And it's only Wednesday. Not even half way through the week. A week that in the UK, is Mental Health Awareness week. I don't know who decides these things, who gets to co-opt a day, a week, a month, and declare it a thing about a thing. But I do know a lot about mental health. I know a lot about mental health AND I know a lot about working for the UK's National Health Service. And so it was with interest that I clicked play on the below video, earlier today. By the time I finished, I was in tears.

The Drake-Kendrick Rap Beef: A Case Study of Mob Psychology
The following article contains disturbing allegations of criminal activity that some readers may find upsetting. The most famous example of “mob psychology” is the Salem Witch Trials. Since witches do not exist, the absurdity of that situation is self-evident. Yet, the same psychological dynamics which brought that almost comedic tragedy to bear are ready to be tapped into in any society at any time. The Red Scares and the internment of Japanese-Americans are other notable examples in American history. Similar things have happened on much smaller scales, though typically within a continuum, such as the famous trial after the Boston Massacre or, more recently, the case involving the Central Park 5. Sometimes, it’s a zeitgeist of paranoia that sweeps over a nation; at other times, it concerns just one person and a small group of people to outnumber them. Yet, no matter how many people are involved, it always looks the same.Four characteristics of mob psychology allow it to self-perpetuate with devastating consequences: 1) it abandons nuance, 2) it labels defenders of the accused as guilty of the same thing as the accused, 3) it rewards those who promote its aims, and 4) it does bad in the name of good.

Red Shelves
Death is a black hole. Think about it. A black hole is the corpse of a star, something once warm and bright, now come to the end of its life cycle. But some will argue that the cycle of life does not end with death. That death is merely another path we must walk once our bodies expire and our souls ascend. In that moment, when the fuel in the star’s chemical tank hits empty and the shiny matte coat explodes into supernova, the mass left behind – the corpse – becomes a black hole. We understand that, around such a vast cadaver, dimensions work a little differently in death to the way we’re used to in life. For example, light cannot escape the pull of a black hole when it hits the point of no return. That’s where it gets its colour. Space itself is contorted by a black hole. That’s where it gets its funny shape. Even time. Time slows right down the closer you get to it. The closer you get to a black hole. The closer you get to death.
